14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

Thank you for this truth.

I have never held a snake in my life and don't plan to, but I'm told every snake has two spots on its underbelly where there once were legs.

Evolutionists can theorize all they want, but many of us know the truth as stated in the Bible.

That snakes eat dust?

One could argue that the serpent in Genesis is not a snake but rather a representation of evil but this article and scripture don't contradict a literal reading.

Then you're going to heck. The Bible commands that you handle serpents.

"14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:"

See my posting on the ridiculous interpretation of this passage. It is a symbolical referal to SATAN, NOT to snakes the animal.

And snakes DON'T EAT DUST. They eat small mammals, other reptiles, fish, insects, birds, and insects and sometimes eggs.

TRUST ME, I have had numerous snakes as pets and worked with them professionally. I'm a Christian and see no conflict with that and the Bible.

And every snake DOESN'T have "two spots on their belly where their legs once were". Some large constrictors have very tiny rudimentary rear limbs called "spurs" located next to the anal opening. They are remnants of legs. They evolved from lizards and this has NOTHING to do with any Biblical "curses". This evolutionary event occurred LONG BEFORE nay Modern man appeared in the fossil records.

You are quoting the designer and maker.

Speaking of truth in the Bible, maybe you can help me with this vexing issue...

Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
