Yes, an expression meaning his mouth would be low to the ground. You can also argue they eat dust literally, with their food, but so do all animals. The symbolism here is directed at Satan. Interesting. So you actually deny the devil was in mind at all in Gen. 3:14-15. I don't think I've...

Well, you tried to make a case early on, citing a theological concerns. Not much came of that. Back to emotionalism. I was glad to see you dabbled in theology, at least for a time. Looking forward to more.

To the devil, the punishments endure. To the snake, it is merely a new design that enables it to thrive in its predation. Do you know anywhere where snakes don't thrive? Debatable based on what? You're arguing based on a starting premise. There are many changes in the MK stated in...

It is a very cool captured moment. We're going to see this countered, of course, by unflattering captures. You know the game.

Perhaps too close for comfort. You've abandoned defending your theological position.

Actually, the curse of death will not be yet lifted in the MK. All the structural changes of all animals will be in place. What will cease is war and predation among animals. Death will only come via old age, for both men and animals. Even the enmity between snakes and men will cease. You...

But we have enough pieces of the puzzle to make a good inference. We know the hebrew word for snake is used, and appears elsewhere in the OT. We know the description of the postlapsarian snake fits the description God gave of him at the time of the Curse. We also know Satan is identified...

Or I've hit the nail on the head. You're unaware of the Romans 13 principle of government. You'll allow an unbelieving leftist who diametrically opposes the principles of Romans 13, yet deny someone with wrong soteriology who affirms it. Backwards.

It doesn't' have to be possession. Inciting is the correct term, as the case of the Prince of Tyre, David and Peter.

But would you also agree, the changes they endured were not moral punishments brought on by their own sin? In fact, it's likely they were an act of mercy, to help them survive in a cursed world. The same with the snake's changes. He's a successful predator, most so than most other animals...

Your hostile defensiveness betrays you. I was hoping you'd continue to work through this theologically. Your error is very obvious. It's not political, it's theological.

Revelation is future starting in chapter 4. The church is not mentioned or alluded to on earth until they saints arrive with Christ.

I've already affirmed the physically changes of the snake were in response to the devil's sin. You have not responded yet to my argument.

And he likely was not the only only animals changed at the time of the Curse. We know thorns were given to some plants. We can infer that stingers and quills may have been added to some animals along with other defense/attack structures. An interesting read: How Did Defense/Attack...

And the Serpent is identified as Satan. Satan often uses instruments to do his mischief (for lack of a better word). God altered the instrument of the snake, but the snake itself does not feel this punishment. He is one of the most successful animals on the planet.

Well, then you'd have big problems with Paul. Rom. 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself...

Angels are sons of God and morally aware. Thus they can sin and are responsible. Animals cannot sin. If you're seminary taught you animals can sin, you're been mislead.

The dreaded below-the-losers. They're everywhere! Then there's the complete opposite. I saw a woman a couple days ago riding a bike, outdoors, with a full mask on correctly. I always wondering why people do wear masks outside. Then I noticed she wasn't wearing a helmet. Think about that.

Real position of authority? God gives gentiles and the nations their authority, and in the highest places. Paul make this clear in Romans 13. Rom. 13:1 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that...

And if that's true about Biden (I think I would agree with you), he also is theologically opposed to Christianity. Leftism is a false religious system. But more importantly, Biden opposes God's purpose for governments laid out in Romans 13. God never commanded you to oppose positions in...
