Tuesday Night Apologetics Annonymous

Well, tonight was apologetics and it went really well. There were nine of us all together tonight (Me, Maggs, Scott, Leah, Cyndi, Jessica, a new guy named Mike,--a friend of Leah and Jessica's--Steve and Candie. I thought there would be more, but the smaller number of people didn't let me down. The topics varied, but I'd say we benefitted and gained more understanding about God. One of the first topics brought up was whether or not the serpent in Genesis 3 was actually Satan or not. The truth is, we don't know if that was the case since it never really says, however, in Revelation 12:9-"The great dragon was hurled down–that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.", and Revelation 20:2-"He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years.", it seems to point to Satan as being the serpent. So, it seems to say that the serpent in the garden was Satan, but nothing rock solid can really be found as far as I know.

The conversation went in all kinds of directions: Cults, Islam, and the completeness of the Bible to name a few. We finally wrapped it all up with a trip to the local Denny's, where you wait forever for everything and the service sucks. It was a good night though and I'm tired. You all have a wonderful night or day (depending on when you read this.)
