Sort of goes against the liberal Christian belief that "were all God's children ". But that's not true.God said he would put enmity between the descendants of Eve and the descendants of the 'serpent'. This can be seen early on between Sarah and Hagar. I don't think Hagar descended from a snake. This is also where the enmity between Gods soon to be chosen people and Satan's people began and has continued to this very day.
Truth is never shattering. If anything it clears away cataracts so that we might see more clearly. That burst of light may seem blinding at first, but eyes adjust. We are not that fragile.The truth is earth shattering and would turn Christianity, and Judaism, on its head. Ironically, I believe that Islam is well aware of the true meaning. Why they don't reveal it is puzzling.
I think serpent is an apt description for the Satan, or adversaries of God. They're just people, after all, and even now we refer to deceitful, malicious people as snakes.Serpent or snake is an anthropomorphism and an unfair one at that.
On your belly you shall go, and, you shall eat dirt, are vital to understanding who and what this being was.
The translators thought we were, or they would have translated the event accurately. Of course, the mistranslation could have been inspired by God to protect women.We are not that fragile.
Language changes. What do you think the translation should have been?The translators thought we were, or they would have translated the event accurately. Of course, the mistranslation could have been inspired by God to protect women.
Never heard of it. And I come from a large, extended family.Eating dirt (pica) is a well-known phenomenon practiced by pregnant women everywhere.
I stumbled upon it. My research on "belly" revealed the meaning of childbirth. So I searched for "women eating dirt" (knowing that snakes don't eat dirt) and up popped pica.Never heard of it. And I come from a large, extended family.

You have blinded all of us with your documented defense by presenting Book, Chapter and Verse instead of repeating Ad Hominem BS, about some man made conspiracy.The snake of Genesis is a literary invention, an anthropomorphism, based on only one of several meanings of the root word, none of which suggests a snake.
Because a snake was falsely envisioned the phrase go upon your belly is also a mistranslation to support the notion of a snake. The root words/phrases don't support this either. But the clincher is you shall eat dirt. Snakes don't deliberately eat dirt.
The truth is earth shattering and would turn Christianity, and Judaism, on its head. Ironically, I believe that Islam is well aware of the true meaning. Why they don't reveal it is puzzling.
The truth is also more mysterious than the traditional belief (Imo, of course).
Can you spell? Spell: GULLIBLE
It gives clarity to the narrative.You have blinded all of us with your documented defense by presenting Book, Chapter and Verse instead of repeating Ad Hominem BS, about some man made conspiracy.
Again......demonstrate just how this single transliteration makes the Chapter false. The truth that SATAN/Serpent IS GOD......this nonsensical conspiracy theory? LMAO Shinning Serpent? God is the snake....or an archangel? FYI: this same transliteration from the Hebrew Bible (Nachash...or Nahas) is found 31 Times in 23 different passages of Hebrew scripture
As described, God with no ambiguity whatsoever declares the Nachash (in Hebrew)/Herpeton, creeping Reptile (in Greek transliteration) or Serpent/Reptile in English)........who took the form of Nachash to be the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4)......and God charged the Nachash as being the father of the original Lie (men can become like god by accessing knowing). (John 8:44)
This sounds like a Mormon attempting to defend the LIE that men will become GODS. Just consider the source as coming from the Father of Lies.....the fallen angel, SATAN. Is it really better to rule in hell than serve in Heaven?
It gives clarity? Really? Its anything but clarity when you reference man made conspiracies over the actual content of the Holy Scriptures, about as clear a MUD MIRRORIt gives clarity to the narrative.

? Again, your cryptic responses aren't understandable.
Lucifer/Satan is anthropomorphized into a snake. It's a literary device (that's quite unfair to snakes). Was it hubris on the part of the translators to change a verb into a masculine noun? A feminine noun would be more accurate.It gives clarity? Really? Its anything but clarity when you reference man made conspiracies over the actual content of the Holy Scriptures, about as clear a MUD MIRROR
Again...........what truth has been removed in arguing over a simple transliteration from one language to another? .........there is no loss of truth, as the content of the whole chapter self defines the supposed mis-transliteration. Throughout the scriptures........the same word is used to describe Satan as a Reptile in some form or another, from a snake to a Dragon. What difference does it make........what type of reptile is presented as long as the context remains loyal to the content and subject matter?
The point made in Genesis is the fact that Satan's hubris would lead to his eventual defeat. As described in Revelations. He may rule on earth because of his deceitful tactics .........but he will be cast into a lake of fire made specifically for the Old Dragon. Men will walk a thousand miles to believe a lie...........while stepping on the truth a foot in front of them.
I'm religious or I wouldn't engage in studies like this. I sweat the details in most things that I'm concerned about.you're not religious ... your problem not mine.
it's you who have not made the point for your thread, is it a mystery to be solved.
Adam was their biological father, but God allows demon spirits to influence people according to his will.Given this narrative, who was Cain and Abel's biological father? God, Satan, or Adam? Why must all female mammals share this supposed "curse" of "travail in childbirth" to this day if only Eve was being punished for consuming the forbidden fruit or whatever?
