I would like to know more about the pic. Is there a caption or something? Not sure I can figure it all out...
I downloaded the picture and it had no caption.
I think the post by Cindy explains it:

Isn't that what He does for all of us? Thank you, Jesus. He takes the worst, of the worse of us.
Well, I'm still learning there, but "serpent seed"
seems to be supported in Scripture, both OT and New?
"Satan is the father of Cain." Pretty plain to me. I don't
know if the mark of Cain was being made black or not,
and I would not extend that to all black people if it was-
-I mean, at that point, we may as well accept as true
"them what killed our Lord."
Kenites might have originally been black,
but we also have black Jews now.
I wouldn't mind hearing an unbiased opinion that
clarifies this more, as I'm really not grasping the objection to
serpent seed--is that it, that people might relate it to blacks?
Really, whether SS is literal or only spiritual strikes me more
as an understanding issue than a salvation issue-
-to me it is the model that makes the most sense
(the serpent is transformed after into a species
that could not mate w/humans any longer, say; etc),
and I doubt that the understanding I have now
is the one I will have then. I'm still trying to integrate
this "Adam" and "Ish" thing in there too.

Sorry if I missed it, but have you posted the scripture that says Satan was the father of Cain? And what the "correct" translation of Genesis 4:1 ("And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD") is?

Timmy, we agree on something! Is that the first or the second time, and will it ever happen again?
I have started pondering about the appropriateness of rendering an image of Christ, especially considering the strict prohibition on such imagery in the Law. God commanded it, and I am no longer certain that it is an acceptable practice. Why do we feel comfortable with this I wonder? Is it not borderline sacrilege?

I think it's just if we pray to an image or worship an image. If there is scripture otherwise I don't know about it.
