You are the one who asked where all the talking snakes are. Didn’t sound rhetorical to me.No, I went to public school. Once a week I went to a religious instruction class. Fortunately for me I was learning how to get to the moral or hidden teaching of fairy tales and fables in public school at the same time. I was pretty good at it. I was paying attention.Oh they pushed Greek methology at my school. You must have been in private school. But did you not pay much attention because you were asking where the talking serpents were?Where do you get the idea the Bible is a children’s story?lol... If that was true you wouldn't have been deceived by one into thinking that a story intended to teach children lessons essential to good mental health and a fruitful life was a historical document.
Where? In second grade class, as soon as the talking serpent was introduced when I first read the story of adam and eve in genesis.
I was asking you where all the talking serpents are. I already know. I have known since the second grade.
There was a nest of them brooding in my town, trying to get me to believe that snakes once talked.
I must have been born with a natural immunity to their poison. Many other kids did not survive.
Sorry.. I just wanted to point out that the identity of certain animals described in scripture, the teaching, and the subjects of the stories are hidden and not necessarily directly connected to the literal meaning of the words used just like in any instructional story for children with talking animals.
In the kingdom of God, There is a world above and the world below. Every creature described from the sons of God to angels, cherubim, prophets, human beings and all the wild beasts of the field, sheep, goats, wolves, dogs, vultures, worms, ghouls, demons, devils including the talking serpent, Satan himself, at the very lowest level, are all metaphors for archetypes that reflect the heights and depths of human potential.
