Some so-called Bible expositors enjoy taking creative liberties in the Scriptures by making literal beings figurative. Many do this with Adam (the Eden account is God's little
metaphorical way of describing "The Big Bang"), and some even do it with Satan, making our adversary an allegorical representation of the "concept" of evil. But if they do this with Satan, why not do it with Christ? Because the last time anyone looked, these two encountered one another and conversed in the wilderness. Oopsie.
