text: is it true that eve was tempted by a man that represented as a serpent? serpent i think its not a snake but it somehow represent a different race i actually gave a speech on this not too long ago.  i have these notes that may help:  it is critical to understand what happened in the garden of eden.  if you get off track in genesis (the beginning), imagine how far off you’d be by revelation!  let’s begin by reading genesis chapter 2 & 3  tree of life= christ tree of the knowledge of good and evil= satan  genesis 3:3 “but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, god hath said, ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.” look up the word “touch” in the strong’s concordance, #5060.  it can mean “to lie with a woman.”  keep that in mind. christ needed a pure blood line to come through so he could be the ultimate, perfect sacrifice.  satan was always trying to prevent that.  what better way than to corrupt eve’s seed?  you can’t isolate verses and expect to truly understand it.  you have to view the bible as a whole.  look at the big picture!  so here are some passages you might want to consider:  2 corinthians 11:3 “but i fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in christ.” if you look up that word “beguiled” in the strong’s, #1818, it says, “to seduce wholly” what does it mean to “seduce wholly”?!  that’s right, have sex.  now, am i taking this out of context?  well, what is the subject of chapter 11?  virginity!  follow the subject, it fits.  what else could “seduce wholly,” in a chapter about virginity, possibly mean?  just in case you’re not sure about who the serpent is in genesis and in the latter verse, read revelation 12:9 and 20:2.  common argument: “satan is a fallen angel.  angels can’t have sex.” really?  explain genesis 6 to me, particularly verses 2-4  “that the sons of god saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.  and the lord said, "my spirit shall not always strive with man, for he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.  there were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of god came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”    what are the sons of god?  angels!  what about the book of jude (verse 6 in particular)?? these angels “fell,” their progeny were giants.  the hebrew word is nephilim, meaning fallen ones.  so am i saying satan succeeded?  he successfully corrupted eve’s seed line?  no.  he almost did, but not quite. *mary came through seth’s seed line (luke 3)*    let’s go a little bit deeper… first off, cain and able were twins.  how do i know? genesis 4:1-2 “and adam knew eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare cain, and said, i have gotten a man from the lord. 2 and she again bare his brother abel. and abel was a keeper of sheep, but cain was a tiller of the ground.”   “again” in the strong’s, #3254, means to continue; eve continued in labor… that means twins!! i know this is a lot of information to process, but hang in there… we’re going even deeper.  yes, cain and able were twins, but they had two different fathers!!  what?!  impossible right?  wrong.  it can be proven, and it happens; it’s called “heteropaternal superfecundation” (google it yourself!).  so which was which?  able is adam’s son.  cain is satan’s.  i have further proof, keep studying!  where is cain in adam’s genealogy?!  check out genesis 5.  someone is missing!    common argument: well, able is not listed either.  explain that. that’s true, he isn’t.  that’s because he died before he had children.  notice seth is listed, but cain isn’t… cain definitely had children.  want more proof?  okay, here we go… in john chapter 8, christ is speaking to the kenites (literally means “sons of cain,” als
