Fight and Fashion in Animalia

Today I saw an ant get stung by a spider, writhe in pain for a couple of minutes, then get its juices sucked out by spidey. One other ant almost helped out. He kinda took a dash at the spider and left. Probly figured it was too late.

Last week, I witnessed my cat maim, kill, and then eat a mouse. He ate the whole thing. Took less than 2 minutes.

The animal world is pretty cool. How can you not admire the fight to survive, hunting, and large amounts of reproducing. (The last one was a joke, but it still fits.)

Some animals, though, look pretty worthless.

Exhibit A.What were they thinking when they bred the Chihuahua, "let's make a dog that looks like a big rat that fits in your purse?" Maybe.

Anyhow, I hope this person finds their walking accessory, the poor thing can't last too long on its own.

well he has a cat that goes by its biological instincts. is it anymore evil when we slaughter a cow or a chicken? well ok id say it is (and if it wasnt for me allergies id be a vegetarian). if its evil and its according to the cats nature, would that make the cats nature fallen? also, if this is true, when the bible says that when humans first sinned "evil entered the world" thus we got a fallen nature. now, if it entered the world, does that extend to the animals and the birds and the sea creatures and the insects as well meaning they too have a fallen nature? which would mean that they too need christ...

something to ponder. my mind goes off on tangents sometimes.

stop making your light posts heavy? but that would prevent me from doing my job good sir :p

Anyways read the passage. are you referring to this?

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

For the anxious longing of the creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God.

Rom. 8:18-21 (NASB)

What is meant by sons of God for the creation? Is that like saying Jesus will come in different forms to different animals (like for instance Cat Jesus) so that the creation will be saved?

Email me or phone me or msn me or something and we'll continue this... slightly ridiculous bible study so it won't take up your blog.
