SWINE (PIGS): THE ACCIDENTAL LIAR
Pigs are also unclean. Swine eat, or learn, anything, and teach it as truth. For example, some people say their favorite verse of the Bible is "God helps those who help themselves". That isn't in the Bible, but they think it is and tell others about it. [1] [2]
The swine is a symbol of the self-righteous; those who think they are good only because they think they are good. They believe that everything they agree with, must be true.
Swine pass off new teachings from others as if they are from the Bible. They hear others say there are errors in the Bible, so they pass it on as if true to make themselves look clever. Swine-like teachers may also learn things from science and pass them on as absolute truth. Only one thing is certain in science: what it says is true today, will not be true tomorrow.
The 'pig' may read the Bible and misunderstand it. They will teach their mistake as truth. Sometimes there are things in the Bible that appear to say opposite things. The 'pig' will choose one and ignore the other, rather than work to understand how they both are true.
The one who cannot understand the word of God is not a good teacher.
