Bible Question:
My question cerns Genesis 3. I was at bible study and a question was asked and everyone had a comment but to me the question was not answered to my satisfaction. I,ve also been to other sites to see what their views were and no one responded . I hope that you can held me out before I gos to bible study on Wensday? THE FALL OD MAN was the serpent in the garden really a snake or was it actually satan himself and because Eve blamed the snake he was curched? |
Bible Answer: The serpent was a creature created by God. So I suppose it had to be the devil. For the serpent tempted Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit. And ever since then God has kept this creature alive to test the rest of the world. So I suppose the devil is a brainwashing tool that makes other do things they would not otherwise do. Thats why God send his son to undo all the wrong things that were going on in the world. But remember you do not have to be brainwash into doing wrong. Enosh and millions like him were strong enough to overcome the devil. And angels are always trying to turn bad into good. The fallen angels are no longer called angels. They are called demons. |
