This subject is one of the funniest parts of the Bible a person can find to today. Most teachers do not like to speak of these parts because it certainly sounds both diabolical and ridiculous. Unbelievers have also played their part in unbalancing most preachers so that they never try to speak of such messages.

Most ridiculous of this message was the Bible audaciously stating that a snake spoke to Eve in the garden of Eden. I found this utterly preposterous even as a religious person but the imbibed fears hindered me from trying to counter this.

I hid my doubts, best option was not to focus on such parts of the Bible as it might destabilize one’s faith. I really did think I had faith at these times even though I was only religious but was devoid of knowledge (Romans 10:2). But when I actually did receive the faith, I started seeing things differently.

My most important realization was that everything the Bible talks about is real. While I didn’t understand everything at once, I knew that they’re all real and can be observed in everyday life. I started to interpret biblical information objectively with scientific facts and even observed around to see what the Bible was talking about. When I speak of the messages imprinted in the sky, it draws scare for some while others marvel. The Bible became an entirely different book altogether.

So at this moment, I had no fears anymore, so I knew I had to re-visit those questionable parts of the Bible. I started reading the whole thing again and lo and behold I had been the fool all along. It was stupid for me to even imagine that a snake could speak. After I realized the interpretation of the snake in genesis, I also visited others animals like young lion, lion, scorpion, dogs, eagle, dragon etc. to know the message relayed.

The Bible is actually a very beautiful book when read objectively. It’s just that most people aren’t objective. It’s by grace that I was able to fall away from the river of perceptibility. No one actually pays attention to anything, everyone speaks before they look. Such is the reality and no one is spared from this delusion.

Every time the Bible mentions an animal, the Bible is not talking about an actual animal, what the Bible is saying is that we should observe such animal. So as a biblical enthusiast, you must take your time to observe the animal to realize the message. The animal is just a representation of the message but not the actual message. In accordance to this, even though some of the situations had occurred, they usually bear deeper meaning than written.

It’s very controversial to tell certain people that no snake appeared to Eve in the garden of Eden. These people misinterpret the sentence because of a popular pagan belief that the snake liberated mankind. Most people read the Bible with this fable in their head and this affects their ability to comprehend the grammar. It’s even more controversial to tell someone that the devil is not a snake or a dragon. In fact, a person will be termed heretic when they explain to others that the devil is just a man that lies to every other man that he’s different.

My favorite of this animal representation of messages is in psalm 91:13, when King David prophesied the coming of Jesus. He says he shall thread on the lion and the snake: the young lion and dragon shall he trample under his feet.

For the purpose of this thread, I’ll be interpreting what the Bible means when it says “young lion”. I never actually did know this message until I was led to reflect. I had started enjoying NATGEO WILD after I received the faith but I never knew what I was looking at. I just found animals a bit more interesting than I did.

So on actual day, I reflected and realized that a young lion always fights his father for authority of the tribe. In fact, in one particular documentary, the young male lion fought three adults for the power to rule the tribe. Therefore, the message is stating that Jesus shall overcome that compulsive need to want to attack His father for authority. The Bible also establishes this to be the case in Philippians 2:6-8.

When that particular verse is read, we’ll realize that unlike the young lion who has now come of maturity and sees himself equal to his father by fighting for authority, Jesus humbled himself and obeyed the father by doing his will. This is exactly where Satan fell in the beginning because Satan rose against God like the young lion always does. In fact, Satan’s banishment from the presence of God is just as the young lion is usually defeated and banished from the tribe.

It’s important that we learn to look at the Bible objectively and try to seek evidences for things mentioned. This solidifies our understanding and teaches us more about the truth. The Bible isn’t a magic book, it’s a realistic book that covers almost anything humans can think of.

I agree with you about the serpent that tempted Eve not being a snake. But what about Balaam and his talking donkey sir?

nigerianrevolut:

And we are later informed that the serpent is Satan . Revelation 12:9

"Talking donkey" remains talking donkey just as "the hills clapped their hands".

Ditto the flag! Can you not have created something different and unique and not follow-follow?

We have a right to be creative and stand by our creations.

Animals represents the principles and laws of nature

According to the jews the original owners of the Bible.

A snake means "to beguile" or "to charm"

Since most of the information in the Jewish Bible where drawn from Babylonia epics, I like to do comparative analysis. Most of the stories in the bible are the early stories of the Anunaki , the only difference is who is telling it. But the message is consistent.
The goat represents the God Nannar or sin. He is the moon god who basically is the devil in Christian theology.. The bull represents the god Enlil and would correspond to Satan. I think inanna is the lion as she became one of the most important deity in Babylon. She is the virgin daughter of Babylon...she would be lucifer..they all represents laws and principles of life..

They are all part of the Elohim.

Not just Satan is called serpent, the Pharisees were also Called serpents. Serpent isn’t a person, its the mind. those who live carnally are called serpent bc they exist in their mind. The Pharisees were called serpents bc they are carnal, Satan is also called serpent bc he’s carnal and doesn’t care about the things of God (Mathew 16:23)

"Vipers"! The Pharisees were called vipers and not serpents. And both snakes are not the same.

DavidAO:

At least the one that supposedly spoke to Eve was Eve's mind.

Bravo!

budaatum:

Bravo!

Mr. Buda, I’m done playing the right and wrong game on here. You either learn what I know and teach me what you know as well or let’s just continue to look at each other from afar without need to antagonize.

The serpent as used in genesis is called nacash. It’s a representation of the actual thing. It’s called the shining one or the diviner. 2 Corinthians 11:3 also opens us up to realizing that it’s the mind. It was represented as serpent bc it shoots thoughts just as snake shoots its tongue. It’s also has some other representation that can be known by observing the snake that I can’t discus bc I need to give a concise reply.

It’s the mind that speaks to person and not an animal. There was nothing like Satan in the beginning, there was only the man and his helper. That story of Satan falling from before the beginning is a pagan story that Satan himself told its worshipers in his need to be exalted.

You can do a personal research in the Bible and you’ll see that the Bible is talking about the mind everytime it talks about people being deceived. It talks about the mind or the carnal people. It’s our mind that deceives is all, this is why the Holy Spirit gives us knowledge so we do not follow everything our mind tells us. Those who do not have the Holy Spirit are led away by the perception of their mind.

At the end there shall be separation as rightly said between those who live according to the perception of their mind or according to the spirit. They’re two different kinds of people.

You can read a blogpost I wrote about the situation in the link below.

“Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭23:33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Vipers are serpents also brother, vipers are just a particular kind of serpent. But it’s ok, the verse above sees Jesus himself call Pharisees serpents. So if it’s serpents or vipers, they’re called both in the verse.

This is untrue. The Holy Spirit itself resides in the mind of the human being, working together to help one discern and separate the wheat from the chaff. You develop your mind for the Holy Spirit to operate better or one could be talking lies through one's ass and be claiming it is from God.

You might wish to argue otherwise, but you know the work you did to develop your own mind from which every post of your's grows like a small seed and then springs forth on to here like fruit. And Christ would not have included the mind in the things that he is written to have answered that we should apply to the "Loving of the Lord our God", if the mind was meant to deceive, nor would God have a mind if minds deceive.

DavidAO:

You either learn what I know and teach me what you know..

You say the above like you have little faith in yourself. If you trust the quality of your seeds you'd be casting them with the faith that they will grow in people's minds, but if they don't grow in people's minds, you always can blame the soil for being infertile, or the sun for scorching them, or the birds for eating them.

Please know that buda has faith in the seeds that buda sows. Some will find fertile soil, and the rains will fall and the sun will glow on them in the right amount and the birds would not eat them because the birds would have filled themselves with the seeds of others. And buda's seed will enlighten as buda desires that buda's seed do.

The reason is that buda does not blame the weather or the soil or the birds if they don't grow. buda has gone and learnt to select the good seeds and to sow them at the right time in the right soil where the birds can not eat them, because that is what one does if one develops ones mind.

Cast thy teachings on to the forum with faith, David. Let those who would, learn and their minds be developed.

You are just a step from realising gods are the same. There are no gods or demons, only the battles on the internal landscape of our minds. Religion merely gave voice to those thoughts in our heads.

If you come to the realization of the truth, then you’ll see there’s but only one God. Every sinner is a god but the ones who have come to the realization of the truth through Jesus is a son of God. I think you can try to get my book now. I’m not claiming to have special insights but just check out and see.

Revelations Chapter 9

The fifth angel blew his trumpet. And I saw a star that had fallen from heaven to the earth, and the key to the shaft of the abyss was given to him. 2 He opened the shaft of the abyss, and smoke ascended out of the shaft like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun was darkened, also the air, by the smoke of the shaft. 3 And locusts came out of the smoke onto the earth, and authority was given to them, the same authority that the scorpions of the earth have. 4 They were told not to harm the vegetation of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 And it was granted the locusts, not to kill them, but to torment them five months, and their torment was like torment by a scorpion when it strikes a person. 6 In those days people will seek death but will by no means find it, and they will long to die, but death will flee from them. 7 And in appearance the locusts resembled horses prepared for battle; on their heads were what seemed to be crowns of gold, and their faces were like human faces, 8 but they had hair like women’s hair. And their teeth were like those of lions, 9 and they had breastplates like iron breastplates. And the sound of their wings was like the sound of horse-drawn chariots rushing into battle. 10 Also, they have tails with stingers like scorpions, and in their tails is their authority to hurt the people for five months. 11 They have over them a king, the angel of the abyss. In Hebrew his name is A·badʹdon, but in Greek he has the name A·polʹlyon

I should do my "research on the mind biblically" instead of researching the mind inside my very own self?

Next you'd be asking me to go looking for the Kingdom of God here and there instead of where the Kingdom of God is to be found!

He does not see the wheat in what he writes. Nor does he see the chaff to remove it but thinks all his flour is good for bread.

I will Interpret just one found in Jesus' parable and leave the rest for argumentators to continue their fruitless ranting!

There was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared sumptuously every day:,
20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was laid at his gate, full of sores,
21 And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man's table: moreover, the DOGS came and licked his sores.
22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off,, and Lazarus in his bosom.
24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot;, neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
27 Then he said, I pray thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father's house:
28 For I have five brethren; that he may testify unto them, lest they also come into this place of torment.
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.
31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though, one rose from the dead.

Luke 16:19-31

Here Jesus' parable is about the common Jews (Lazarus) and the rich man (Jewish religious title chiefs) the common Jews believe (trust) in whatever their selfish religious leaders dish out to them as spiritual food but in reality the selfish religious leaders only tell common Jews things they will use dominate them.

Jesus' arrival resulted to a drastic change in condition (death of both Lazarus and the rich man) right afterwards everyone realized that the Messiah (Christ) has arrived, but it was the most disappointing scenario as Jesus (the Messiah) feels more attached and comfortable being in the midst of common Jews, and they are favoured with sound teachings with signs and wonders proving God is now with them!

So what is the Interpretation of the DOGS in the Parable?

Jesus often refer to people of the nations who aren't Jews as dogs {Matthew 7:6, 15:26} so the dogs are gentile nations like Babylon, Rome and others who takes advantage of the deplorable spiritual condition of God's people as opportunity to extort money and other valuables from them.

I'll stop here!
