Who was Job's accuser?

well, "look up" might not be mutually defined here, not sure what is meant by "look up" in this analogy?

Look up to the snake on a pole for healing= representative of Christ bearing our sins on the cross that we must look up to for healing.

The snake representative of sin of course.

Thanks for the list. I never could get him to list the five.

yes, because he is smarter than i am, lol. One should do it on their own, i guess.

yes, healing from self-inflicted wounds, once the mechanism of how the snakes are manifested is realized. Iow this is a bridge to Christ, but it is not the best way to have faith in Christ. As "Nehushtan broken up" in 2 Kings 18 reveals. And this is revealed in other passages as well, Paul "shaking the snake from off his hand into the fire," and other reflections.

One might believe that a guy named Paul really got bitten by a literal poisonous snake, and shook it off into a fire, as long as they like. They might even "have faith" in this version of events. And still be missing the point, i guess.

ya, or at least the consequences of it; the sin that manifested the snakes is a bit harder to discern.

(as is what Job was confessing to, although why i am being led to say that here is beyond me)

I gave you my def. and just wanted some input from you + being a little lazy

There is no sin manifested in the snakes, they are just an analogy representing mans fleshly nature, like the snake in the garden. As for Job, I thought the video you posted as well as Job chapt. 32 explicitly and following cleared that up quiet well.

the sin that manifested the snakes

iow the behavior that caused God to send them snakes
