Whoever said that knowing only good is ignorance? Isnt that what we ALL strive for? To know and perpetuate goodness only so that we may enter again ZION? -- For no sin shall enter the Fathers Kingdom. Once we followed the deceitful serpent; we gained knowledge of evil, allowing it to flow through our consciousness and surface through the action of sin. -- Disobeying the Father.
The great message of the Bible, I believe, can be summed up in the following verse.
John 10:16
I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will hear my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd.
Differences yet unity. Love and respect for the Father and of creation.
Yes, symbols are symbols and how we use them is more important than the image itself. With that, worshipping and sacrificing to serpent symbolism shows the perversion of the beings claiming to be gods. 'They' are the fallen. Following them promises death and destruction.
As far as Naga and Nagast meaning serpent King, it could be interpreted as this King is true, being HIGHER than the false serpent and therefor the King of. Lord of Lords and King of Kings, THE Most High, Ruler of ALL. True, rising, never falling.
