THE SERPENT IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN
“Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?’” the serpent questioned.
And later, the serpent pressed further:
“You will not surely die… For God knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” (Genesis 3:1, 4–5)
But who was this serpent? Was it truly a talking snake among beasts?
Or was the serpent a figurative voice, an allegory for temptation? The inner whisper that challenges divine instruction?
The “serpent” was no ordinary reptile, but rather a symbolic Satanic thought, clothed in metaphor, and presented in the form of a cunning creature.
To demonise literal snakes is to miss the deeper meaning of this metaphorical and alegoric teaching
The true danger is not the slithering form represented by the snake, but the subtle voice that questions truth, Distorts love, invites disobedience and question God’s authority.
