I know this might be a dumb question to ask but is a snake a bad sign or is it evil in anyway? L
like if i'm going for a walk and see a snake should i just not go that way? just wondering
thanks ahead of time for you're answers!
This is not a dumb question,Andy,this question is relevant(purposeful for it ties in with the bible),my answer would be yes and no,for depending on what part of the bible snakes are spoken of,or in life the use of snakes as symbols,I myself was a bit perplexed(rather confused) on this same question,because Satan is referred to as "that old serpent"(snake)
but God has used snakes as a symbol too,for example when he changed a staff to a snake in front of pharoah,he was showing that he can make any creation of his whether animate or inanimate,live,whether temporarily or permanently,so it really depends on how the symbol of a snake is used,like a modern example of snake symbol misinterpretation and thus wicked in use,is snake churches,taking on scripture out of context and declaring that they "must take of serpents" this was never what that verse meant,it refers only to that to do,right by God one will endure and overtake things along one's path(particularly directed toward Jesus's disciples,and apostles,and all devout followers)
so you see,so depending on a snake symbol's usage it can be either good or evil,so it would be a no as to the question of is it evil to use a snake symbol in anyway,but depending upon it's use it can be good or evil,and always used for evil if the symbol from the bible is misinterpreted just as with scripture,because they one can delude one's self to think they do right by God,there is always a "right" and "wrong" way to use anything God has given us.
