Movie Quote:
'I don't think it's a defect at all. Oh no. Uncertainty. That is appropriate for matters of this world. Only regarding the next are vouchsafed certainty....I believe certainty regarding that which we can see and touch, it is seldom justified, if ever. Down the ages, from our remote past, what certainties survive? And yet we hurry to fashion new ones. Wanting their comfort. Certainty... is the easy path... ' - Billy Knapp from The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (Coen Brothers 2018) on the 'defect' of uncertainty.

Can't decide on a pair of shoes, or a menu option, or a church? Getting tossed too and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine? Going around in circles over contentious passages of scripture? Then you've come to the wrong place, of course.

*Anyone may answer. I just wanted to start one of those "So and So only" Threads. This is not intended to be serious. Or is it? Can't make up my mind.

I think the first chapter of Proverbs attests to this. Jesus also said "be as wise as a serpent and as gentle as a dove for he sends us out among wolves".

The book of Genesis also say the serpent was the most (keyword most) subtle of all the beasts of the garden. I butchered this verse slightly.

Seraphim are sometimes interpreted as Lizardmen (thats a type of God's angels)
