Cockatrices

May 11

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

(Isaiah 11:8) KJV

There’s another mythological creature which, by using our principle that God can’t lie, we may deduce isn’t mythological. In this case it is the Cockatrice. Here’s a rather perfunctory description from Wikipedia:

Cherub Classification

Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass. And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides; and they four had their faces and their wings. Their wings were joined one to another; they turned not when they went; they went every one straight forward. As for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, and the face of a lion, on the right side: and they four had the face of an ox on the left side; they four also had the face of an eagle. Thus were their faces: and their wings were stretched upward; two wings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies.

(Ezekiel 1:5-11) KJV

We’re going to use the Cherubim as a case study of the benefit of using spherogenetic systematics as a deductive tool. According to scripture Cherubim have mostly mammalian, not reptilian, characteristics.

You Shall Die of Dying

Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

(Genesis 2:15-17) NKJV

Did the curse on the serpent happen immediately, or did it occur in the first generation of offspring? We could make the case either way, but, since we don’t know for sure let’s consider what God said to Adam about the tree of knowledge.

The Cockatrice

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity. They hatch cockatrice’ eggs, and weave the spider’s web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.

(Isaiah 59:2-5) KJV

If simple logic tells us that you can’t curse a snake to be limbless, then what was the creature in the garden of Eden? We discussed the Cockatrice on May 11th but at that time we left it hanging as to what the outcome was of the curse which was placed on it.

May 11 – Cockatrices

In the context of our lips speaking lies and separating us from God something caused the Cockatrice, an egg-layer which formerly had legs and wings, to take on the form of a limbless snake. Any guesses?

Satan isn’t the Anointed Cherub

“You were the anointed cherub who covers; I established you; You were on the holy mountain of God; You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.

(Ezekiel 28:14) NKJV

We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) refute the widely held belief that Satan is also-known-as the “anointed Cherub” of Ezekiel. It fails to take into account the relationship between cause and effect.

The Fall

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

(Genesis 3:1-7) KJV

The fall of man was an effect. The cause was disobedience. We (that’s me and the Holy spirit) develop a coherent narrative and harmonize scripture with science because we understand the relationship of cause and effect.

The New “Scientific Knowledge”

Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.

(Lamentations 4:3) KJV

A new definition of “scientific knowledge” has arisen in post-Hawking mainstream science (SciPop) thanks to atheist science trolls (ASTs) scientifically illiterate science worshipers (SISWs) and SciPop devotees.

Scientific knowledge: anecdotal evidence combined with probability means it’s a reasonable assumption.

Cockatrices

And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den.

(Isaiah 11:8) KJV

There’s mythological creature which, it turns out, isn’t mythological. The Cockatrice appears in a couplet with Asp, so they’re equivalent, and this gives us its classification as a Serpent.

Adders, Asps, Dragons, Serpents & Vipers

Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

(Deuteronomy 32:33)KJV

We have a closed loop which shows us that a variety of words refer to the same idea: Serpents are a suborder in the Class of Reptiles, and there are different kinds of Serpent.
