Has God rested from all of His Work?

It wasn't a serpent at the time.

Serpents don't have their legs removed; nor are they referred to as "beasts of the field."

Genesis 3:1a Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.

It is seen in the text that it was a serpent. It can be said that snakes are all serpents, but not all serpents have to be snakes. They might still even have legs, or wings, even any extra parts. Or they could be able to fly otherwise. The serpent in the garden there is the dragon of Revelation 12, where it is called the serpent, even if having legs, and even if having several heads. Yahweh had told Adam and Eve what they needed to know to be obedient as his children, with responsibility given to them as stewards in the world. They listened to the father of lies, the deceiver, and trusted what they heard, and chose to rebel against what Yahweh had told them.

I don't understand this question.

Whose kinds?

Let me help. Aman777 thinks that anytime the phrase "their kinds" is used in Genesis 1, it refers to anything "created" by God/the Holy Trinity ('elohyim). Anything referred to as "his kind" is something "formed" by Jesus seperately (even though the word "elohyim" is used to refer to the entity doing the forming).

 

[Queller]

You're saying you can tell a True Christian from a mere "Religionist"?

Of course he can. A True Christian is anyone that believes in Aman777's interpretation of the Scripture.

Dear PS, I suppose it's because time has no meaning to a perfect God. Why should it? IF you are immortal, you have all the time in the world. No need to hurry. It takes time to make Heaven perfect, and fill it with perfect Humans.

Why would it take God time to make Heaven perfect? It's GOD we're talking about here, not some government contractor.

Dear JacobLaw, The 7th Day is future. First, EVERY living creature MUST become a Vegetarian. Genesis 1:29-30

What did lions, tigers, falcons, and tyrannosaurs eat prior to Genesis 9:3?

For that matter, what did Venus flytraps eat?

 

[Queller]

It doesn't matter, does it?

Of course it does. God is omnipotent. The CEO is not.

 

[Queller]

For allowing it.

On what Biblical basis do you believe this "dragon-beast" ALLOWED Satan to possess it as opposed to Satan forcing the "dragon-beast" to acquiesce to his presence?

I believe the serpent was a dragon.

God punished it.

 

[Queller]

God punished it.

Why didn't he punish Satan?

 

[TLK Valentine]

God punished it.

you're not even trying anymore, are you?

 

[AV1611VET]

you're not even trying anymore, are you?

Genesis 3

Genesis 3

You could, at the very least, post what the biblical references you make say.

Until the deception from the serpent who was the evil one who had already rebelled, there was the perfect provision for us, with a garden providing everything for us that is needed, and we never needed anything else. We use clothes and we use animals for food and things only because we are fallen and we sin, and do wrong things that we don't have to do.
