Edible animals [∞]

I have summarized part of the dietary law which speaks of good and bad teachers. Eating is a metaphor for learning.

Good: clean animal = his meditation on the word produces a holy walk

Bad: Camel - teaches to judge

Bad: Coney - legalist who hides the love of the Word

Bad: Hare - spiritual drunk who celebrates all religions

Bad: Swine - Does not discern what he learns

Good: Fish - Lives by the Word and uses it as his defense

Bad: no fins or scales. Compromised in the flesh and spirit

Bad: Eagle: Those who forget the revelation

Bad: Ossifrage: Tear apart the pure

Bad: Osprey - Doesn't understand the word

Bad: Kites - Doubter

Bad: Raven - Improperly mixing Holiness and Love

Bad: Owl - Questions God's purposes

Bad: Night hawk - loves violence

Bad: Cuckow - wastes away in fleshly pursuits

Bad: Hawk - speaks only of Christ's death, not of his resurrection

Bad: Little owl - angry

Bad: Cormorant - Those who have been cast out (for cause)

Bad: Great owl - Those presuming upon grace; continuing in sin

Bad: Swan - Destroyer (not builder)

Bad: Pelican - Rejects the word

Bad: Stork - Doesn't understand holiness and mercy

Bad: Heron - Anger within

Bad: Lapwing - Irregular obedience
