It never states it was a test - if anything, "the testing" part would have been after God sent serpents that bit and began to kill them

That is the sequence of events. God told Moses to make the statue after they complained about the plague of serpents, to turn to for healing. God might as well have said FU.

Let me let you in on a secret.

The plague of serpents was like the plague of TV preachers and deranged evangelists brainwashing people for decades, people who die when bitten and infected with their poison.

Don't tell anyone!

If any of the deceived find out they are going to be pissed when they wake up in the morgue.

Read the gospels. Jesus isn't the anti-Christ.

Exactly.

Then why do you worship the Antichrist, a false ascetic namby-pamby mangod, the spawn of a 1st century Roman trinity created in the image and likeness of Mithras and unleashed on the world in 325ce?

Psst! The mark of the beast is on your forehead that you proudly wear as if it was an amulet.

Incorrect. God instructed Moses to make a bronze snake (Numbers 21:4–9) as a divine remedy for Israelites dying from "fiery serpents" sent as judgment for their rebellion. Anyone bitten who looked at the bronze serpent on the pole was healed, serving as a lesson in repentance, trust in God, and a direct precursor to Jesus being lifted up on the cross for salvation.

Key Reasons for the Bronze Snake:

• A Test of Faith and Obedience:The snake provided a way for the Israelites to stop complaining and look toward God's promise, trusting that this act of faith—looking at a bronze image—would lead to healing.
  • Symbol of Sin and Judgment: The snake was chosen to be a direct reflection of their sin, forcing them to look at the cause of their death to receive life. It was a "serpent without poison," representing the curse they were under but which did not actually kill them.
  • Physical Deliverance/Antidote: It was the designated antidote for the poisonous snake bites brought by God.
  • Typology of Jesus Christ: In John 3:14-15, Jesus says, “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.” The event prefigures the crucifixion, where looking at the cross brings spiritual salvation.

The bronze serpent was later broken by King Hezekiah in 2 Kings 18:4, as the people had begun to worship it as an idol, calling it Nehushtan.

I worship Jesus. The same as the apostles worshipped Jesus. The same as all Christians worship Jesus. It's you who rejects Jesus, and according to 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12, you will be condemned for trying to deceive others into not worshipping Jesus.

According to Christian theology, Satan actively deceives people into not worshipping Jesus by distorting scripture, promoting false doctrines, and using worldly distractions. Common tactics include challenging the deity of Jesus, presenting worldly desires as superior to worship, and using false teachers to create counterfeits of Christianity.

• Subtle Deception: Satan is described as disguising himself as an "angel of light" to mislead even dedicated believers away from sincere devotion to Christ.
• False Christs: Scripture warns of the end-times appearance of false prophets to lead people away from the true Jesus.
• Distraction and Misinformation: Deception often involves making worship appear burdensome or highlighting worldly beauty to distract from spiritual life.
• Denying Jesus's Nature: A primary goal is inducing people to believe that Jesus is not God or that he did not come in the flesh.

Ultimately, the goal of this deception is to turn worship away from God and toward worldly things or the adversary himself.

OK.

This is complete bullshit religious dogma deliberately programed into AI by "religious" idiots.

Looking at the cross brings spiritual salvation? WTF! What blindness! THIS IS NOT KOSHER!

But Jesus literally said in John 3:14-15, “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life.”

Yes, looking at the cross and believing in Jesus brings spiritual salvation. Just like looking at the snake and having faith in God brought healing to the Israelites. It's the faith that manifests reality. You have to believe.

Is Satan your god? Because Satan actively deceives people into not worshipping Jesus by distorting scripture and promoting false doctrines like you are trying to do.
