sometimes it's like this, it's wife who is arrogant, proud, violent (if not physically, then verbally, etc.), aggressive, abusive, etc. and it is HUSBAND who is a victim. And then, finally, one day, husband can't take it anymore, he snaps, and because he is stronger physically he hits her or even beats her. is that o.k.? no, but from that point she goes around that SHE is the victim, while he is an abuser, wife-beater, he can be arrested, etc. but she is perfect... may even start a ministry and make money on that!

I wonder what would Erasmo of Rotherdam think of this sermon? This is allegorizing to a such point that one has to ask, Well, how do you know, Rick, that it is so? Is this an interpretation of the text, or merely a sermon that had to have some textual basis so let's find something there...? I mean, the snake is also a symbol of Satan, so are we to draw any meaning from that analogy? I think that this sermon shows how far from the Scripture modern Evangelicalism is.
