The "Cultural Context" Excuse

[Huggy Bear]

Uh, No.

"In the Garden of Eden, according to a tradition." , as it relates to the serpent copulating with Eve, implies nothing other than that was a traditionally telling of that story... nothing more.

how did you put it again?

Huggy Bear, your arguments to back up the whole "serpent sexually reproducing with humans" thing are still absurdly thin. It's based on readings of verses that take so many absurd liberties, reinterpreted to support the conclusion you were using them to support (does the term circular reasoning mean anything to you?), and the closest thing to a solid allusion is still perfectly compatible (and certainly makes more sense) with the offending passage read as a metaphor than literal, and even that verse still states that Cain and Abel were full brothers.

If you want to make a David Icke-meets-Marquis de Sade OTP Bible fanfic, that's fine, but if you're claiming it's canonical with the Bible, you're going to have to give a better argument. And having your argument hinge on the KJV being the sole arbiter of textual accuracy, despite being based on a text that is, by this point, considered by the vast majority of scholars to be inaccurate.

And zeroing in on one small sentence fragment and using it as an excuse to ignore the rest don't make your position look any better.

*emphasis mine*

If it was "according to a tradition" that the serpent and Eve copulated then obviously that teaching has been around long before me. I have made my case according to biblical scripture why the "beguiling" of Eve was sexual, yet you refuse to listen.

I've shown you where according to your own source where it explicitly says that the serpent had sex with Eve, yet you still refuse to listen, meanwhile you offer no evidence to support any of your arguments, and the evidence you DO provide is just plain wrong.

I think I'm pretty much done here.
