If Eve really thought a snake convinced her to eat the fruit,was she high on something? I never had a snake?

Question

talk to me!

Answer 1

Harry Potter can talk to snakes. Maybe he and Eve could hang out and talk about their similar experiences.

Answer 2

But that snake is not a garden snake. It was a reptile that walked straight up on two feet, had intelligence and was able to speak.
The bible states that God did not make that snake in the Garden, it was there. So that snake could have been an alien or now lives underground. Apparently these reptiles still exists underground and have an agenda to take over the world. These reptiles are evil(satan) and that apple adam and eve ate was a metaphor for her learning occultic secrets and withcraft which has knowledge of divination.

Answer 3

Think about it, this was before The Fall, and there was no Curse. The Serpent Walked Upright, and there was No Enmity between Man and The Animals, in fact, at that time Man didn't eat the Meat of Animals. I also believe,(but I can't prove it), that Man could Communicate with Animals,note that Eve didn't think it strange that a Serpent could Talk to her, it must of been a Common Occurrence.

Answer 4

Hi, the actual meaning of this is not snake but serpent,which is an allusion to the cunning and nature of the devil,had it been a snake don`t you think that Eve would have been a little surprised by it`s ability to talk let alone having the intelligence to tempt her?

Answer 5

HI
I don't actually think the bible says eve believed it was a snake she had been around animals so I am fairly sure she knew it was an angel who was speaking through the snake. She believed the advice and how could a snake know about God they are only animals so I think she knew it was an angel.

Answer 6

The Hebrew word that has been translated as snake or serpent in our English Bibles means "shining one" or "shining enchanter". Some theologians speculate that it wasn't a serpent but Satan and that is why he was able to talk to Eve and why Eve was willing to be convinced that God had not told them the truth.

Answer 7

I think that the question ought to be, why did the authors (or editors) of this creation myth choose the snake/serpent as their symbolic representation of "evil" temptation?

To understand that, we'll have to look at some other religious symbolism...the snake was a holy symbol for some of the polytheistic religions of the time; a symbol of rebirth, and sometimes fertility, associated with Goddesses. A very famous statue of a Minoan Goddess shows her snakes:

Snakes are associated with prophecy and wisdom - and Goddesses - in several places, such as Egypt, Sumer, Crete, and Greece. In Egypt, the female deity of pre-dynastic northern (Lower) Egypt was the cobra goddess Ua Zit. Egyptian deities and royalty has a uraeus emblem - a head and hood of a cobra. Some Sumerian Goddesses, such as Inanna, were associated with snakes. In Minoan-era Crete, we find some statuettes of goddesses or priestesses with snakes. In one case, the snakes are cobras. In Greece, in what is most likely a Minoan legacy, Hera and Athena were associated with snakes, and the shrines of Delphi, Olympia, and Dodona were originally associated with goddesses. However, they were taken over by the followers of the male gods Zeus and Apollo, who were depicted as snake-killers. Even then, the greatest wisdom was associated with priestesses.

The snake (together with the cup or chalice and the raven, and still associated with new forms of old Goddess-worshiping religious practices) is also resident in the sky as a constellation:

Examined in light of this, the Adam and Eve story is quite interesting, and it answers the question of why the snake/serpent in this creation story tempted Eve rather than Adam. In a struggle to establish a male tribal God as the only God of a people, it would naturally be women who were most reluctant to give up religious practices and religious thought that gave them the same rights to holiness as men, and by extension, an equal place in society. And it also makes perfect sense that the snake or serpent would be symbolic of the Goddess-oriented religions that posed a threat to the establishment of the Hebrews' tribal God as the only God

The Adam and Eve creation myth clearly sets men up as being superior to women. The resistance of women to embracing both a religion and a society in which they were inferior to men can be seen as the theme of this creation myth. In the symbolic language of myth, this is a story about how women rejected the tribal God of the Hebrews and the limitation on their freedoms.

Of course, since it is written from the point of view of enthusiastic followers of the religion of the tribal God of the Hebrews, this rejection had to be portrayed as something evil, with dire punishments falling on the women who didn't submit to the authority of this tribal God or the societal rules of a male-dominated culture.

Answer 8

It is all myth, Bible made out story out of nothing to convinced ignorant people against evil traits. If god made Eve & Adam, then who made snake ? why on earth of all the creatures god made this snake ? and able to talk like human being, did the snake went to school to learn to talk like human being ? Come on , think of it, if god could make a snake talk, then why he did'nt made the other lovely animal talk to Eve & Adam instead of this loathsome snake all people disliked. Why on earth, a bible so holy by your religion, choosed snake as a disguise to imply a bad man has to talk to Eve ? if saitan was the bad man then, who made this other man ? who made the god ? it is endless like who come first, chiken or egg ?

Answer 9

well this is all built on myth and legend - my answer is no she wasnt high on something. the world must have played with a different set of rules. this snake with legs - lucipher was able to talk and after the casting out of adam and eve god threw the serpent onto the floor and made him crawl without legs - we must believe that also his speach was taken away aswell

- on the otherhand adam and eve were really ignorant before they tasted the apple. maybe she was high as a natural side effect of being created from a rib and tasting the apple gave her knowledge and prejudices

Answer 10

People today fall for something even more absurd than what Eve succumbed to. They have been taught to believe in something so absurd that they can't explain it. I'm talking about the trinity. The churches have drilled it into the heads of their members that God can be himself and his own Son at the same time. God can be immortal and be dead simultaneously. Does that make sense?

So, is Eve the only one who believed in nonsense, or are there others?
