Fund my expedition

Christians will tell me “The Bible tells us that Jesus is the son of God”, and then they’ll show me a passage like: Mark 1:1(King James Version) The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;Or some other such passage.

“But wait” I say, “I have a book that talks about Unicorns”

To which they reply “This book (the Bible) is the word of God.”

So, I pull out my book (Also the Bible) and show them:

Numbers 23:22 (King James Version) God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.

Numbers 24:8 (King James Version)God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

Deuteronomy 33:17 (King James Version) His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

Job 39:9 (King James Version) Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?

Job 39:10 (King James Version) Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

Psalm 22:21 (King James Version) Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

Psalm 29:6 (King James Version) He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn.

Psalm 92:10 (King James Version) But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

Isaiah 34:7 (King James Version) And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

Now some will say that this is a mistake in the translation, that what they really meant was Ox. Like there was no word for Ox, yet I can find 145 passages in the King James Version where they use the word Ox or Oxen.

Others claim that it should have been Rhinoceros.
I can’t find Rhinoceros.mentioned anywhere in the Bible, I wonder if that has to do with the fact that Rhinos are indigenous to eastern and southern Africa and in tropical Asia and would have not been found in that area?

So I am asking anyone who wants to go to join my expedition to find a Unicorn. I also need funding. I take checks, Paypal and all major credit cards.

  3. Another argument against the "it should have said ox" theory is that oxen have 2 horns, not one.
