I contend that even if the only surviving text was the Gospel according to John, it would contain everything needed for a saving faith. Everything else is gravy.

It was in the original community of believers that relied on external knowledge of good and evil based on their own earthly senses. The serpent represents their own reasoning that that lead to the fall.
