There is no description of the serpent who came to Eve, and Adam standing there by her, except that he was cunning. It is suggested that he had legs, but for the literalist it is better to say we do not know, but, we do know that the price for conning eve was to have made a permanent enemy out of all women, to recieve the prophecy that he would bruse Christ's heel, but Christ would crush his head-- which happened when Christ was crucified.. Man's curse was to earn his living "by the sweat of his brow". Eve's curse was to bear children in extreem labor... The worst deal was when that sin of rebellion entered into the world, Adam andEve lost thier home in eden and thier comunion with God, And Lucifer- Satan became the "god of this world" until Christ's Passion was complete and He took away the keys of Hell and Death. We are in the final phases of the play, so get ready.. He said He would be back,, and He will..

The serpent was a dragon before God cursed it. Take the legs off a dragon's body and u can see the resemblance to that of a snake.

The truth is that it is figurative and nothing to do with evolution or actual snakes that existed then and today.
God likened the Devil to a serpent that crawls on its belly and eats food dusted with particles of soil. Thus he indicated the deep abasement into which the cursed Devil was now thrown down. As it was the lowest station in existence, it was compared to the place that came to be called Tartarus. In course of time the Devil came to be joined in this place by other spirits, by other angels who renounced the Fatherhood of God and adopted the fatherhood of the Devil. These spirits became his “seed.”

The LORD in that garden was "walking", so he had legs, so he was a humanoid, yes? So, Eve & Adam (who were also humans), what did they perceive as "god"? A human! Now, how did they perceive the Serpent, what did they see? Well this is a gnostic secret and I'm not telling because I don't want the Christians to know, nana na nana na, hehe.

One legs, 4, like a dragon. Lucifer is often referred to as a dragon. Look at Revelation 12, especially verse 9.
"And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down-that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
