Wow you were there in the exodus of the children of israel and saw the bronze serpent with your own two eyes and can assure me it was a pagan emblem, no, you weren't there and you don't have one iota of God's word to support your man fabricated claim.
I thought you wanted the truth as to whether they could be or not...?
Someone claiming they know exactly what an emblem is without one iota of God's word to support it is not truth, and roman catholicism is full of falsehoods with their pagan sculptures renamed saints and their pagan obelisk for all to see. You know what happens when you compromise with the world, you get pagan days and pagan ways.
Oftentimes many different emblems have meant some very different things down through the ages, and at different times, and eras, and ages, and stages, etc...?
I think that God is more powerful than any created object or symbol. His holiness can be manifested through whatever he chooses to bless, even to using the mud by the pool of Siloam to cure the blindness of a beggar. I am curious what you think of Christian icons, statues, paintings.
Do you really think witchcraft symbols created by pagans under the influence of satan were ever holy or ever will be? You know what you get when you compromise with the world?, pagan days and pagan ways. God bless you.
If the corollary of your praxis is the similitude of something pagan in origin then it is, pagan days and pagan ways. God bless you.
We're not talking about taking something good and giving it a bad meaning, we are talking about something evil in origin and trying to make it holy which is an abomination to the Lord of hosts. And satan's works convey sin and death into the world, also pagans under the influence of subtle satan created witchcraft symbols not someone holy. What was an abomination and sin in the old hebrew scriptures is still today and I will continue to walk in God's ways. God bless you.
