[QUOTE="Lilith2006, post: 77435165, member: 452196"] IF the serpent is Satan, your claim, WHO is Satans seed? I have never read of Satan having any children. Genesis 3:15 clearly states that Eves descendants (mankind) will have enmity towards the serpents descendants, NOT towards the actual serpent that deceived Eve. So who are the descendants of Satan that we are supposed to have enmity towards? Why isn't Satan described as a Serpent elsewhere in the Old Testament, where you can ACTUALLY recognize that they are definitely referring to Satan? In Job 2 for example, the author could have written: [B]2[/B] On another day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan [the Serpent] also came with them to present himself before him. [B]2[/B] And the Lord said to Satan, “Where have … There are definitely other verses in the Bible where a Serpent is referred to that is definitely NOT Satan, so there is no evidence in the old testament that Satan is a Serpent, which is your contention. There is Genesis 49:17 as an example, where the serpent mentioned is definitely NOT Satan. There is also the story in Exodus, where the staff is turned into a serpent in front of the Pharoah. This is definitely referring to the staff being turned into a snake, not turning the staff into a Satan! So I am sorry, you have not convinced me that the serpent in the garden of Eden is anything other than a snake. You just don't have any firm evidence. It is more of a case of you WANTING to see the Serpent as Satan, so you have convinced yourself that it is, & now you are trying to justify your belief by looking for any verse that could possibly mean Satan, but the evidence is not strong that any of the verses in the bible (old test.) do. You have even had to go outside of the biblical texts to try to find support for your argument, which is not a good sign that you have a strong case. [/QUOTE]
