Re: What Counts as an Animal?
Here is a link to Psalm 145 (KJV), which doesn't really say anything like what the AMP you quoted says.
And this is Romans 8:19 (KJV):
quote:
For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.
Neither one of these agrees with the AMP translations you've given. Therefore, it's only your judgment as to which translation is more authoritative that will help you make your choice. Either way, though, you're going to have to accept that it is only your judgment, and not necessarily the truth--take it on faith, if you will. But, you can't actually be certain that it's true until you've died and do or don't see platypuses and Thylacosmiluses in heaven with you.

I'm Thylacosmilus.
