Quiz, Jeeeesh! The point I was trying to make was that the Bible contains truths as well as falsehoods.
The Bible records Jesus in two places as saying that the mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds: Matthew 13:31-32 & Mark 4:30-32. Read it, it sticks out like an embarassing pimple on somebody's face. The fact is, it's not the smallest of all seeds. Go to the library and get an illustrated book on plant seeds for crying out loud and compare seed sizes.
That's why I mentioned that the Poppy seed is smaller. For Pete's sake, if we really want to get picky, then we can compare size of the mustard seed which we can see, with what the Bible calls a male reproductive 'seed', and we need a microscope to see that!! So it is blaringly obvious that the Bible conatins factual errors regardless of what we think Jesus meant by what he said.
PS: Babble Babble!
