Bitten Israelites -----> Sinners...all men.
Raised serpent -----> Crucifixion.
Nope.
If that's the case all would have been bitten.
Who did the unbitten represent?

There aint any ifs.
Not all of em was bitten.![]()
And you are a blind man.You and GT are a nice pairing. :AMR:
AMR
Our spirits are subject to us.
Paul was talking about men being able to shut up and let another speak, even when moved by the Holy Spirit.
.If something come to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his piece, for you may all prophesy
He was by no means saying the Holy Spirit was subject to men.
Incorrect:
Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
All snake-bitten Israelites without exception were provide for. Whether they looked or not, the bronze serpent was raised up for them. This is the model that Jesus himself uses to describe his own 'lifting up'.
One cannot believe without the Holy Spirit.
There aint any ifs.

You don't appear to understand analogies. Source points to target. Jesus' analogy only considers bitten Israelites. We don't consider those unbitten.

Here you go again with your self pride.
What is us? My soul? My flesh? My heart? What? How 'bout my relationship to Him?
Yes, and?
.
Ditto "And"? So who is in control?
Then why does the Holy Spirit pick and choose whom He speaks through except a yeilded freewill in relationship with the Father be that which He looks for?
Self Pride is all read from you, so get the beam out of your eye before mouthing off what you perceive from me! OK?
Okay.
Let's leave the unbitten out for now.
Who was bitten?
And why?
These were believing folks, complaining about God feeding them and what he was feeding them.
They tempted him.
This is an analogy for those who believe in God not an alter call sermon for newbies.
Which is why Paul used it here.....
1 Corinthians 10:9
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
I don't have to remove anything.
You're the one claiming the Spirit of God is subject to man.
Okay.

If this were so, then John 3:14-16 isn't for unbelievers...they aren't in consideration.
Really?
You are a false judge.
You have no other way to defend yourself and your false beliefs other than trying to slander others.
One would have to believe in God first.
Believers who didn't believe? They thought they were going to die in the desert, but this is what they were told:
Exodus 3:17
And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’
They did not have the faith of Abraham.
So don't preach John 3:14ff to unbelievers?
No. I am saying the mans's will is stronger than God's when it comes to God wanting allegiance from him. Jesus demonstrated His allegiantce to God and you don't understand how He did it; the means by which He did it and with a freewill He did it..
Who is Jesus?
Son of God?
