1 | The Serpent's Class | Gen 3:1 | Sir Pent | 20339 | ||
Clarification ................................... Dear Lionstrong, I'm not sure exactly what your point is in this post. However, I'm not sure that this interpretation of the verse is the only possible one. Just because the verse says that the serpent was more crafty than any "beast of the field", that doesn't mean that it is necessarily in the same category. If I say that Curt Schilling is a better pitcher than anyone on the Yankees, it doesn't mean that Curt is a Yankee (in fact he plays for Arizona). Similarly, the serpent could actually be in the category of "creeping things" and yet still be more crafty than the "beasts of the field". |

Point taken, Sir Pent. ......... but at this point the serpent had not been cursed to a life of low crawling, which why I don't believe it was in the class of creeping things. .............. Thanks, Lionstrong |

Personal Note ................................. Dear Lionstrong, You could be entirely correct, I just wanted to point out that it wasn't the only possible interpretation. I am curious though, why you brought this up. Do you glean something from this passage based on the idea that the serpent changed classes? If so, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. |

Phil 2:5 Have this attitude (mind, KJV) in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, ........Dear Sir Pent, ........... Even as a child I've been intrigued with this true historical account. It shaped my view of the world I lived in, as God's word should. When I looked at a snake, I thought of that serpent in the Garden. Then I'd think, in my childish way, "You haven't always been that way. At one time you didn't crawl and lick the dust." ....... Peace, Lionstrong | ||||||
