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?

Serpent vs. Snake

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

(Genesis 3:14-15) KJV

There weren’t any snakes before the fall of man. It’s a logical conclusion which is deduced by the application of cause and effect, logic and reason. Look at it this way, you can’t curse a snake to be limbless, it already is.

The Fall is Coming

So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

(Genesis 3:6-7) NKJV

The issue that complicates resolving this right now is that something has to happen which changes an intelligent bipedal reptilian humanoid into a limbless snake.

A Talking Snake?

And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ ”

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

(Genesis 3:2-5) NKJV

Atheist science trolls (ASTs) like to ask probing questions which make Christians look stupid. Let’s as a question of our own: Where in the passage above does it say that Eve talked with a snake?

Good for Food

And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

(Genesis 2:8-9) KJV

Here’s an example of a common Christian-bait question:

  • IF Adam had fruit to eat in the garden of Eden,
    • AND the other animals were all herbivores,
  • THEN why do snakes have venomous fangs?

Sanctification and Honor

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.

(1 Thessalonians 4:3-6) NKJV

If you’re struggling with gender identity try not to worry or fret about it. It’s okay to feel what you’re feeling. It’s okay to process the thoughts that you’re having. Here’s the best advise that I, me, myself, personally, can give you:

Possess your vessel in sanctification and honor.

Obey the Law

Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake, whether to the king as supreme, or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.

(1 Peter 2:13-14) NKJV

A lot of people think that the LGBTQIA+ issue is about making a moral judgement. The thing is, we’re not asked to make a moral judgement, we’re told to obey the law for the Lord’s sake.

Holy Matrimony

And He answered and said to them,“Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?

(Matthew 19:4-5) NKJV

Physical relationships between humans are, by their very nature, carnal. There’s only one situation in which the sexual union of two people is sanctified: holy matrimony.

The Sesame Street Song

And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another in the fear of God.

(Ephesians 5:18-21) NKJV

Gender identity is a thing. It’s something which, probably, a large portion of society has wrestled with at some point in their life, or it may be ongoing. How should we handle it on a personal level? What is it to me? What do I need to understand about it?
