@divegeester saidI try to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you just keep coming back to prove what a shmuck you are.
Are you going to have the courage to back to the threads where you have been called out for admitting the snake is a metaphor?
I think not, spiritual muscle man 🙂

It was a lovely moment of intellectual undoing for you and one which I relished here at home with a nice chianti and some fava beans.
@divegeester saidAre you just gonna work your way down your "dislike" list until no one ever posts here except non-Christians?

Nice agenda you have there.

In your opinion is the talking snake of genesis the ONLY metaphor in the Bible ?

@divegeester saidCan you be any more disingenuous?

What talking snake?

@divegeester saidAnd there what is?
And there it is 😆
Are you trying to say the serpent didn't speak to Eve in the garden?

@divegeester saidThat question is sophomoric, and a dodge of a discussion of the narrative of the Genesis account.
You’re dodge of this question I put to you above:
In your opinion is the talking snake (serpent) of genesis the ONLY metaphor in the Bible?
The real question is did the serpent speak to Eve? If you are hung up on the serpent being a snake that's your issue.
There are many metaphors, allegories, idioms, figures of speech, parables and other linguistic aspects of the scriptures just like in every other writings.
I tried to answer your question before, but you seem to have an agenda that betrays your integrity and sincerity because you think you know something about the scriptures I don't.
Whether Satan appeared as a talking snake, or is referred to as a serpent metaphorically is irrelevant to what God is instructing us to understand about the origin of the sin that plagues the human race.
Apparently that lesson is lost on you.
