Who is this talking serpent and why does this seem totally normal for Adam & Eve? Is the serpent’s temptation for Adam and Eve to eat the fruit sanctioned by God? If it was, why was the serpent cursed to crawl on his belly? If it wasn’t crawling before, did it have arms and legs like a dragon? Did it pick the fruit off the tree with its own hands to prove that you couldtouch it? Where did Eve’s extra command to not “touch” the fruit come from? Was it Adam adding to Gods commands trying to protect his wife? Why wasn’t this lie the first sin? Why did the fall not happen when Eve ate it but after Adam did? Where was Adam when the talking dragon was tempting Eve? What would have happened if Adam refused to eat it? What if Adam repented immediately to God and didn’t blame his wife? How did this affect their marriage? Why place Cherubim guards at the gate of the Garden after kicking them out? If you ever wrestled with these questions, then this episode is for you.
