:Some skeptics complain that the New Testament authors use the same verse in different ways. They ignore the teaching that says all scripture has four purposes: to teach doctrine, to confront your sin, to correct your sin, and to train you in righteousness. The additional meaning is discerned through meditation and using the tools taught by the New Testament authors. The additional meaning is not added to the text, as some would suggest, but discerned from the text.

:'''chewing the cud''' or 'ruminating' is a metaphor for meditating on the things you have learned

The animal is clean animal because it is a picture of Christ. He meditated on the word of God, and it guided his every step. He said he did not do anything unless he saw the Father doing it. <ref>[[Joh 5:19]] Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. </ref> <ref>[[Joh 5:30]] I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.</ref> <ref>[[Joh 8:28]] Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. </ref> He became the fulfillment of the burnt offering as he was totally devoted to the will of the Father even unto death.<ref>Joh 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of Man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.</ref>
