Answer 1

Wait till you get to the part about the talking donkey.

Numbers22
28And the LORD opened the mouth of the ***, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times?

29And Balaam said unto the ***, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee.

30And the *** said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ***, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? was I ever wont to do so unto thee? and he said, Nay.

Answer 2

NO. The snake was not able to speak on its own. Satan was using the snake to speak to Eve. (Rev. 12:9)

Satan is symbolized as a serpent many times through out the Bible. Possibly because he slithered in quietly and was cautious, and deceived her.

Most people take one or two verses litereally or out of content.
If you want more information you need to see the scriptrues that are cross-referenced to do some study and research, and not take everything at face-value.

Answer 3

you may't discuss the which technique of the Torah previously understanding a thanks to learn it interior the interior of sight language. The hebrew is a lot different and has so a lot extra underlying meaning than the english translations. notwithstanding, the snake had legs like a centipede. Even evolutionary, there is evidence that snakes used to have legs and then lost them. A ball python absolutely has 2 nubs close to its head that are remnants of legs.

Answer 4

Froma scholarly perspective it is because the author of this particular chapter of Genesis was a storyteller and interested in portraying a scene to the reader. And, later God says that now the serpent may slither on it's belly and be killed by man so perhaps speech was also a skill taken. The serpent was supposed to be one of the most itelligent and yet cunning, deceitful, trickster.

Answer 5

Wait until you get to the part where real people get turned into pillars of salt, and where magically Noah is able to find 2 of every animal in existence before the flood, irregardless of exactly how big the Earth actually is.

Answer 6

The key to understanding what really happened is to identify two "trees" in Genesis 2:9.

Also, God's Word abounds with figures of speech, symbolism, Hebraisms, metaphors, and types (the seven churches in the Book of Revelation).

On the one hand, if I said to you, I'm going to paint the town red tonight, you would probably understand this figure of speech.

On the other hand, if I said the above to someone from China, for instants, he might think I'm going to grab a bucket of red paint, a brush, and paint the town red.

And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life, Christ, also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil, Satan. Genesis 2:9

And the LORD God said unto the woman, What [is] this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent, Satan, beguiled me, wholly seduced ... took her virginity, and I did eat. Genesis 3:13

Answer 7

Talking snakes, holy ghosts, and all manner of demons and monsters?

Nobody really believes those kinds of fairy tales, do they?

But those kinds of silly stories do make a lot of money for storytellers like Stephen King.

Answer 8

I know crazy huh? I can't believe I ever bought into that nonsense. The best part is, The snake was cursed to lie on his belly for all eternity(Some punishment for a snake huh?) and we were dammed to hell and death! bwahahahaha

Answer 9

Yepper


Gen 3:1 ¶ Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
