Thank you Pastor Brito, I appreciate this response. I saw on twitter videos of you preaching and referring to the serpent as a female which piqued my interest. I figured it was a typological thing and not that you believed the Talmudic interpretation of the serpent being Lilith. That is explicitly what the Stone Choir dudes were accusing you of peddling from the pulpit.

However, I am appalled that you didn't address this at the end of your article in the section affirming and denying certain things. Why did you not have an explicit denial of the Talmudic understanding of Genesis? Do you or do you not believe that the serpent was Lilith?

I am not a Stone Choir guy nor do I have an issue with the biblical theology laid out in this article, I just thought you would respond to their main accusation by the end of the article.

Two side thoughts came to me as I was digesting these thoughts you present.

First, Curious about the use of “redeemed angels” … The fallen angels are not redeemable because they have dwelt in the very presence of God and yet rejected HIM, those who are not fallen… are “not fallen” so there is no need of Redemption.

Next, completely different topic … but one that I have mulled before. Mark 12:25 25 “For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven” Does this indicate that gender will not be a necessary component of eternal existence, or simply that Human relatedness will vanish? I try to reason with friends who have lost a spouse that they are not “watching over” you nor are they waiting to be “reunited” with you as a spouse… So, cherish your memories and live on for the LORD. HE watches over you.
