here we go again...
The snake would be a forever symbolic reminder of the Fall. Everytime man would see a serpent he would be reminded that it was the instrument by which he fell into sin. Man was to have dominion and rule over the animal kingdom and yet it was through an animal that he was led astray! That tells man something about the seriousness of the original Fall and also about how culpable he really is.
The snake would be a symbolic reminder of Satan’s future destruction.
The snake imagery is picked up in Genesis 3:15 when the snake is told: ‘he [the woman’s seed] will crush your head and you will strike his heel.’ The snake was cursed to crawl on the ground and therefore susceptible to man’s heel crushing its head (this vulnerability is a direct result of Satan’s sin). This is a foreshadowing of what will really happen to Satan someday. The seed (Jesus Christ) of the woman will crush the head of Satan and His heel will be struck (the crucifixion) in the process.
In addition, the curse upon the physical snake was reflective of the actual curse upon Satan himself: crawling low on the belly was a mark of deep degradation (Lev 11:42) and eating dust was also a sign of despair (Micah 7:17). All these factors combine to form very vivid symbolism of what awaits Satan in the end.
Gods biggest mistake?! creating people who doesn't use what was given to them (their brain). instead, they use their mouth & hands to type & to complain about the bad things in thier miserable existence. It is ok to question God's existence, but to stir a debate for one's personal past time is full of crap..is it really necessary to create a lousy thread to answer a debate which is already 2000 years of existence? why can't we just respect each others beliefs?! the reason people fight over things is because of EGO & personal interest.
OT:i would suggest TS to make a personal blog. that way, we can skip this unnecessary crap. then again, di na mosaka atong post count ani? wahaha
You dont believe in God, You dont believe in the Bible, YET you questioned God's Work based from whats written on the Bible or peoples belief that are based on the Bible. Kinsay gibuang nimu, imung kaugalingun?
Tan awa nalang jud ning nga Athiest - Kay wa may ikapakita nga PHYSICAL EVIDENCE or Scientific Evidence ngay WALAY Ginoo, Ang ilang gibuhat is Makig lalis nya ang mga writings sa Bibliya ang basihan. Imbis lalisan ang Existence sa Ginoo, ila na nlan tawn gi kwestion ang buhat sa Ginoo ug sa mga Kristiano - Mao cge nlang paghot ug mga Self Defeating nga mga Pangutana, Mga pangutana nga sa unang sabot palang di na angay tubayan.
Sayunan ka anang naay Atheist KUNU diri nga nag hisgot ug Image sa Ginoo, Ang Ginoo kunu way ILONG kay espirito. Di mutoo nga naay Ginoo nya kahibalo nga way Ilong ang Ginoo. Murag di ka kasabot ug magkatawa bah ka or maluoy.

kay wala koy karapatan magpahungaw sa akong intelligent thoughts? if you can't deal with my thread might as well ignore this! gets ka?
on topic: 2,000 years of pure LIE! constantine collated your bible! he removed every book that contains topics about jesus being human, because constantine certainly knows that it would ruin the very foundation of christianity!
wala ka nakabasa sa history sa imung faith? i pity you!
The Bible itself is a plagiarized book . Christianity is based on Egyptian myth . The character "Jesus" was based from the Egyptian God named Horus .
- Both was born by a virgin . Horus' mother is Meri . Jesus' mother is Miriam (aka Mary)
- Both are of "royal" descent
- Their birth was announced by the angels
- Horus' foster father is Seb/Seph - Jesus was fostered by Joseph
- Horus' birth accompanied by three solar deities [star gazers] who followed by the morning star of Sirius bearing gifts . Jesus' birth accompanied by three wise men [Zoroastrian star gazers] who followed by a star "in the east" bearing gifts.
- Herut tried to murder the infant Horus . Herod slaughtered every first born in an attempt to kill Jesus - the forthcoming messiah.
- Both was baptized by the age of 30 . Horus' baptizer was Anup . Jesus' baptizer was John . Both baptizers got beheaded .
- Both had 12 followers/disciples .
- Both got crucified on the cross , accompanied by two thieves . Buried in a cave (decended into hell) . Horus resurrected after three days . Jesus resurrected after about 30 to 38 hours (Friday PM to presumably some time in Sunday AM) covering parts of three days.
- During their time on Earth , both performed miracles like healing of the sick and walking into water .
I may have just solved the puzzle about Florido's deep-seated animosity towards religion as a whole...

The relationship between religion and homosexuality can vary greatly across time and place, within and between different religions and sects, and regarding different forms of homosexuality and bisexuality. Present day doctrines of some of the world's religions generally view homosexual behavior negatively, although this isn't always the case. This can range from quietly discouraging homosexual activity, explicitly forbidding same-sex sexual practices among adherents and actively opposing social acceptance of homosexuality, to execution.
Many argue that it is homosexual actions which are sinful, rather than the state of being homosexual itself. Several organizations exist that assert that conversion therapy can help diminish same-sex attraction. However within these religions there are also people who view homosexuality positively, and many religious denominations may bless same-sex marriages.
Historically, some cultures and religions accommodated, institutionalized, or revered, same-sex love and sexuality; such mythologies and traditions can be found around the world. In 2009, The United Kingdom Hindu Council became one of the first major religious organizations to support homosexuality when they issued a statement "Hinduism does not condemn homosexuality".
Regardless of their position on homosexuality, many people of faith look to both sacred texts and tradition for guidance on this issue. However, the authority of various traditions or scriptural passages and the correctness of translations and interpretations are continually disputed

alangan asa pa man ko magkuhag laing ideas? kay diha ra man sa inyong bible nasuwat ang about sa inyong ginoo!
of course makiglalis jud mis bibliya, because as what i said sa mga previous thread nako, the bible contains a lot of anti scientific claims!
your bible says that God is invisible. if God has created you in his own Image, he should've made you invisible as well, same goes with other human beings here on earth!
putting the snake over there
