" In Genesis, when God condemned the serpent to crawl on his belly forever....any idea how it got around before that? "

FEDEX ? just joking... lol

However ? the serpent was only a vehicle and vessel into which the devil possessed to do his dirty work.

The serpent allowed the devil to take him over, or we can say that the serpent was just a animal and didn't have a choice or soul to resist.
The devil could not be allowed to take over Adam and Eve, he had to lie and trick them first.

Good morning AC,

I love that you have brought this out about the serpent.

It is believed that Genesis was written by Moses. I would say that Moses probably knew little or had never heard of the theory of ‘evolution’. Yet here, the Bible seems to record that serpents (snakes) at one time did not go on their bellies.

I have a large snake, a Yellow Anaconda, named Ducky. If you look on him, he has, near his tail, two spurs. These spurs are attached to small skeletal pieces. Evolutionists will call these ‘vestigial legs’.

Shortly after I got married almost 4 years ago, I was telling and showing my wife these spurs and their ‘explanation’. After a little discussion, we decided to check the Bible.

And there it was, God telling the serpent he would go forth on his belly, from now on. Not ‘evolution’, but Gods command.

You have a great day AC.
