God is talking to the serpent in these verses, and the serpent has offspring and the woman has offspring. Obviously they must be spiritual offspring as unless you ascribe to the serpent seed theology, Satan doesn't have physical children by a wife. The offspring of the woman will crush the serpents head, the offspring of the serpent will bite (his)(the offspring of the woman) heel. The seed that crushes the head of the serpent is Christ (Gal.3:16, Lk.1:35)
God put enmity between the seeds of each, but it is Satan being referred to as having His head crushed (Rev.12:9) by the Lord.
When we are born, we are all children of Satan (Eph.2:3) and must be born again to become children of God (Rom.5)

The bible and Trent say Catholics aren't Christians?Is it just me, or does anybody else see something wrong with that?

How do you go from Eph.2.3 to Rom.5, in the same sentence? Is that the verse that says Catholics aren't Christians? I don't even want to know who Trent is.
