| Aug 25, 2014 at 12:01 | comment | added | Tau | It's clear that Paul saw the context figuratively(Rom. 16:20), and from there we can rightly determine if the text was meant 'literal' vs 'figurative'. | |
| Aug 25, 2014 at 11:52 | comment | added | Jack Douglas | The particular issue of interest to me is the connection with Genesis 1 - as long as answers address that I'm likely to find them useful I think | |
| Aug 25, 2014 at 11:49 | comment | added | Tau | Then I would have even a greater challenge, because the context suggests a "Figurative" interpretation-unless somebody can find an instance where 'serpents'(ie:snakes) walked, and now they don't. If there's no evidence of "de-evolvement"(none that I know of in Scripture), then it's pretty clear God was talking to Satan, which takes us to a "figurative", rather than "Literal" interpretation. | |
| Aug 25, 2014 at 11:39 | comment | added | Jack Douglas | I'm not asking about those issues directly - I don't mind if an answer addresses them if the logic stems from the question I am asking though. fwiw I think that is more likely on the issue of the physical form of the serpent than the identification with 'satan'. | |
| Aug 25, 2014 at 11:35 | comment | added | Tau | Oh boy, you are opening a can of worms here... Are we determining whether the context is Literal or Figurative, and whether or not the 'serpent' is a mere reptile, or the embodiment of Satan? | |
