[QUOTE="theyre here, post: 184823, member: 2808"] How do we [b]know[/b] the serpent is the "fallen angel" Lucifer, or any other spirit for that matter? I can't recall the mention of Satan or similar "fallen angel" anywhere in Genesis. I could be wrong (often am)... anyone else? Jesus had referred to the record of Adam and Eve's creation as the basis of His teaching on marriage and divorce (Matt. 19:5-6); there is not even the slightest hint that He read it figuratively. "For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived (by the serpent), but the woman being deceived was in the transgression" (1 Tim. 2, 13-14) - so Paul, also, did not read Genesis figuratively but literally. And of additional importance, he wrote earlier about the way "the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty" (2 Cor. 11,3) - Paul doesn't mention the "devil" or "evil" beguiling Eve. Further evidence for the literal 24 hour days of creation can be found in the Sabbath law of Ex. 20:10,11. The Sabbath was to be 24 hours of rest, because God rested on the seventh day, having worked for six days. The plants made on the second day of creation depend on the bees and other insects created on the sixth day. A long 1,000 year gap between their creation is inappropriate. [/QUOTE]
