this makes a lot of sense ↑
the Bible is full of typology though. like analogies, or metaphors - for example the brass serpent raised up on a pole that all who looked to it were healed from their deadly snakebites. if i looked at that, excluding everything else in the Bible, how likely am i to interpret the meaning of it wrong? there's a simple, literal meaning - yeah, they literally were bitten by some kind of serpent, and yeah they literally were healed just by looking. but this is an awesome picture of Christ; He says so Himself in John 3, and i have to know more about the gospel, about Him crucified, and about all the implications of that and how salvation works, to see the spiritual meaning. so i'm connected all over the new testament immediately, and to Genesis 3, and lots of other places the deeper i dig.
i understand your intent tho. easy to get derailed, and you didn't come here & ask to hear about the literal meaning of Genesis 9 because it's really straightforward.
thanks. i'm still thinking about the verse.

but what i meant is that i am not gonna get derailed i am just asking what it meant to you spiritually if you exclude other verse for me to compare your answer to other people's answer
i know the true meaning of it if i look at other verses so i am just telling you don't have to worry about me getting derailed i already know the answer i am just asking for your opinion
