why'd he create that evil serpent? Only humans have free will right? doesn't that mean god created an evil thing? this shit don't make sense
>>42182753It's so tiring to first have to destroy the horrible conceptual habits Christianity and the Bible have ingrained in people.No, nothing in the Bible makes sense.
You touch yourself at night
>>42182753>IF GOD REAL THEN WHY BAD??????Oh my fucking god, are we really doing this again?!
Angels do have free will as well actually.
Have you ever thought how absolutely terrifying it must be to be eaten alive? Why is that a thing? Why does every creature in existence need to kill and consume the flesh of other creatures just to continue their existence? Did god intend for that to be a sick joke? Because it is.
>>42182805You can artificially create proteins, vitamins and extract minerals - all you need without killing anything.
>>42182810How is a lion meant to do that?
>>42183864Go to fucking college, duh.
>>42182753I think you missed the pointdid you actually read the Bible? no, I mean from "in" to "amen," as in from the first page (beginning) to the last page (the end)
>>42182753>That picBut I thought Christian larpers didnt hate fun?
>>42182753the serpent represents knowledgethe bible is an allegory>man preserves status quo >woman is curious>serpent offers the taste of knowledge and experience beyond what eden offers>both fall into "sin" supposedlyWhat happens is that they gain knowledge and perspective beyond what Eden offers. While in in the garden, ignorance was bliss but it is stagnating. Adam and Eve were literal spiritual children in adult bodies, it's why they can't even comprehend the consequence of knowledge or the meaning behind God's recommendation against eating from the tree of knowledge
>>42182753yes, Isaiah 45:7 people who think otherwise are polytheists.

>>42182803Only to obey. Angels are machines.
>>42184253It's knowledge of good and evil, specifically.
>>42184421More like machines are a poor imitation of an angel
>>42182753The bible isn’t mean to be taken literally. It’s a codified message, an archetypal story written that way to connect with the unconscious. This is how ancient cultures used to pass down knowledge.
>>42182805>ashes to ashes, dust to dust>bodies formed from clay must inevitably return to clay>but that which is beginningless has no end>find that within yourself and have eternal life
Ultimately you are going to obey God or you're not, if you weren't given the choice, you might as well be a robot. At the end of creation, everyone who chooses to be with God will love and appreciate him, no NPCs.
