Right. But those are from FICTION. There really aren't any talking snakes.There have been depictions of reptile humanoids throughout ancient history, who have been depicted as highly intelligent, and knowledgable.
Because serpent and snake mean the same thing, and are used interchangeably depending on the translation.While this has no bearing on the subject matter, I wonder why you have to choose a snake as the seducer of Eve.
Genesis 3:1 NIV: Now the snake was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, ‘Did God really say, “You must not eat from any tree in the garden”?’
Genesis 3:1 NKJV: Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”
Genesis 3:1 NCV: Now the snake was the most clever of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day the snake said to the woman, “Did God really say that you must not eat fruit from any tree in the garden?”
Genesis 3:1 YLT: And the serpent hath been subtile above every beast of the field which Jehovah God hath made, and he saith unto the woman, `Is it true that God hath said, Ye do not eat of every tree of the garden?'
Genesis 3:1 CEV: The snake was sneakier than any of the other wild animals that the Lord God had made. One day it came to the woman and asked, “Did God tell you not to eat fruit from any tree in the garden?”
Because you asked if it was likely from a Biblical perspective. Since the book of Genesis explicitly describes children having sex with their parents, it is likely - again, from a Biblical perspective. You may say "that's a myth!" If so, no problems there.I’m more interested in why you used it to show that incest was accepted, hence A+E’s offsprings married each other.
If I can discredit the Bible by quoting parts of it, it is in serious trouble without my help.It seems your going all out to discredit the bible , by trying to make events sound impossible.
Including children having sex with their parents, apparently.You know that with God, all things are possible . . .
I'm not the one denying what is in the Bible.You’re denial shows . . .
