If the text has no superflous words, one must take more seriously the term 'every living creature that swarms and/or creapeth'.
Okay, let's assume you are correct and logical (a big assumption, but I'm willing to go with it if you are).
You've made a logic statement here:
IF (the text has) "no superfluous words" THEN (one must take more seriously) "the term".
Conversely -
If the text does in fact HAVE superfluous words THEN we must NOT take these terms seriously.
Right? I mean, after all this is YOUR claim not mine.
By the way
"Superfluous" is defined as:
"1. being more than is sufficient or required; excessive.
2. unnecessary or needless."
So let's take a look at the creation of man:
Gen 1:27 " 27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
Gen 2:22 " 22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man."
Gen 5:2 " 2Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."
There's 3 passages give the same information - they are, by definition superfluous.
Therefore we must NOT take these passages seriously.
Thank you, you are finished.
