Bible Note: To: Tim: Thank you for sharing your experience with "flies" and their "eggs." But the Bible did not mention eggs. I have swatted and killed many flies, but never experienced a "smell" from flies. At other times, when flies were plentiful; my wife had sprayed and killed several. But we never experienced a "smell" from flies. "Obviously, this is why words gain definitions with the passing of time - especially in English." "The heaven and the earth will pass away but the words of Me not, not will pass away" - Mt 24.35. sid |
