If God is dead, does mankind become God?

So, tell me CK, what do you live for?

I can answer this question for myself.I live for life.

What is life?

Not sure, but I strive to enjoy it as much as I can.

Or as God said to Adam, 'where are you?'

​

There is no now, for it was three words ago, or was it five? Who can be sure, so that it is gone and never was...

Yeah, well, OK then.Why does this matter? How does it relate? Edited by AdminPD, : Off Topic Warning

I reminded him that the devil told Eve in the garden, that on the day you eat of it, 'you shall become as God.'

Actually, it was the serpent, not the devil. They are not the same.Also, it was a very specific ability that Adam and Eve gained by eating the apple. It was the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Edited by AdminPD, : Off Topic Warning

The Devil is a spiritual creature... a fallen angel. The serpent is his manifestaion inn to the flesh.

Where does it say that the serpent of Genesis and Satan are one in the same in the Bible?

quote:

---

It is my understanding that the serpent is multiheaded. He breathes fire. What comes out of his mouth makes him unclean! he comes up out of the sea of humanity. The mortals totally ruled and enslaved by his cunning. He fools us by telling us what we want to hear.

​

NKJ Rev 20; 1-3 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, Having the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. He layed hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the devil and satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he cast him into the botttomless pit, and shut him up..."

​

Genesis 3:1
Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made...

---

It seems to me that the serpent of Genesis is merely a "crafty" animal. Nowhere in Genesis does it say or imply that the serpent is Satan, or the embodiment of Satan. The serpent has a forked tongue and crawls on it's belly; it's a snake.It doesn't mention anything about the serpent being a fallen angel, nor a spiritual entity. It's a snake.It's not a dragon, either, nor does it breathe fire.And God and Satan are able to chat with each other over Job, you know.Me thinks you are interpreting the Bible inappropriately.

Rob, I have told you before.I do not read the ridiculously long posts full of bible quotes and sermons that you love to vomit upon many of us.Nothing in your reply addressed my points regarding my request from you to show me where it says in the Bible that the serpent mentioned in Genesis is the same as Satan.
