Genesis
Quote:3 Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made.
14 And Jehovah God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, cursed art thou above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed: he shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
The Bible clearly says that the serpent/snake was a beast of the field. God's curse affected all snakes. If the serpent in Eden was a manifestation of Satan, why did God curse all serpents?
