Chicken Teeth

God has created each creature just as He wished.  Often people are not able to explain things we see.

For instance:

  Science is able to see that chickens have the DNA for teeth.  And what comes to mind is...

But, in reality, it is an egg tooth.  We in our minds envision teeth like us or predatory carnivores.  Many people will even take a jagged beak edge and say that the chicken is trying to form teeth to chew or rip but that is not even how chickens eat as scavengers of grains and such.  

Perhaps we should think outside of the box with an understanding that God knows what He is doing and sometimes (OK often) creates things beyond our comprehension. 

Genesis 1:20–25 (NKJ)

²⁰Then God said, “Let the waters abound with an abundance of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.” 

²¹So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that moves, with which the waters abounded, according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 

²²And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 

²³So the evening and the morning were the fifth day. 

²⁴Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so. 

²⁵And God made the beast of the earth according to its kind, cattle according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

To Judge, to Examine or to Condemn ?

Matthew 7:1–5 (NKJV)

¹“Judge not, that you be not judged. 

²For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 

³And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 

⁴Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 

⁵Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

John 7:24 (NKJV)

²⁴Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”

In these first two scriptures the judge or judgement is defined as - to condemn.  So we, as Christians, are called not to condemn others.  However...  

1 Corinthians 2:15 (NKJV)

¹⁵But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one.

Here we see the word for Judge means - to examine.  So we are called to examine one another's actions with a spiritual mindset.  Not to scrutinize each others actions.  ie... I would have done it this way or that or even to scrutinize one's own actions by saying I would have done better if I had just...  But to examine whether or not there is sin being committed, is justified by examining the deeds or fruits of others.  To bring it all together...

1 Corinthians 4:3–5 (NKJV)

³But with me it is a very small thing that I should be [examined] by you or by a human court. In fact, 

I do not even [examine, scrutinize] myself. 

⁴For I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this; but He who [examines] me is the Lord. 

⁵Therefore [pass judgment on or condemn] nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, 

who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.
