Not reading God’s Word right, is just wrong. No talking snakes! Thanks. Would not be pleasing to God. At the time of the writings of scripture, those who directed scribes were also poets and song writers. The idea of using a talking snake is a message to readers that what follows must be taken with a grain of salt because it is based on an impossible beginning. That is also why they emphasize WORD, that the reader is to look for the true meaning of the words given. It should be read an archetypal rendition of a best guess for man”s beginnings, in terms of morals sense. A term that requires knowledge of good and evil. A sense we all cherish in ourselves and would not give up. All Gods offer a philosophy.All political Gods offer a philosophy. All philosophies are a blueprint to a good life. No philosophy of the Gods with miracle abilities, has as yet over shadowed the political Gods that others offer. Man, as King, is proving to be winning, over the man following God. That is how it should be. After all, the first God’s name was uttered by a man. God then gave man Honor, for being the first to recognize that reality for living souls did not end on terra firma, and that Man was the first that could understand God’s philosophy. Jesus wanted us all to step up and pick a side. In a way we all do.Trouble is, this place, like Babble, just has too many sides. How can the world elect or recognize a true God when they are not even holding an election?Political debates end in elections. What is the religious establishment waiting for. Are we afraid to put God to the dreaded TEST. Risk another genocide? God forbid. Do not feel special thought. The political Gods are just as afraid of One that would lead them. Why then are we all deciding to live with this fear when the reward of peace and security can be had for the price of an election? Just a great way to kill time I guess. I digress. In conclusion, to read scripture literally without knowing the true context and idioms of the original words and language forces one to truly believe in the impossible and unnatural. The Bible begins with a talking serpent and ends with ten headed things in the end. A clear indication from the compilers of scripture to not take the Bible literally.

I would be happy to deal with a talking snake. i just can't find one. Perhaps you will lend me yours. If you have dealt with it, you might give your conclusion. Bible are works of philosophy. How else should you read them. Novels? RegardsDL

Godliness is a moral position. God is a philosophy.Science is not good at philosophy. How will science help find God? It deals with the physical, not the non corporeal. RegardsDL

Your focus is on the physical. I speak to the philosophy that will arise. The non physical. Scripture would call it the WORD.
It will not depend on the existence of talking snakes. RegardsDL

You forget that philosophy, like religions offer a way of life along with the consumer goods. I have found God and He looks nothing like the loser of most scriptural interpretations. I have no idea where you would get such a notion. The first God was a man. The last God will be as well. It may well be your scientist but I vote for a generalist. Let’s hope it happens soon.

The introduction of any fantasy item to a narrative, changes it from whatever it was meant to be, to a fantasy. The most serious speaker will lose respect if he, on occasion, confers with a talking pet. If they wanted serious respect then they would have left the snake crawl quietly. Unfortunately, many read the Bible as the WORD of God. They are misguided. The Bible is whatever Constantine wanted to pay for. He paid the bills. It is his. RegardsDL

Don't know.
if man has always been the same then it stands to reason that it is God's standards that have changed, not mans. We are the way we should be, if not then some pray to an incompetent God. One who cannot create perfect souls and natures. RegardsDL

I agree with your last statement but where have you "observe man's changes evidentially". I see no change over the last 2-3000 yrs. RegardsDL

I guess that you do not see a danger in turning the Bible into a fairy tale. That is where many are classing it now. you exacerbate the problem.Put away your toys of children. RegardsDL
