So the Lord God said to the SERPENT:"Because you have done this,you are cursed more than all cattle,and more than every beast of the field;On your belly you shall go,and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. ( Gen:3:14 ).
The cattle and all the rest of creation were cursed as a result of Adam and Eve's eating,but the SERPENT was uniquely cursed by being made to slither on its belly.It probably had legs before this curse.Now SNAKES represent all that is odious,disgusting, and low.They are branded with infamy and avoided with fear.
Help me understand this.God curses a PHYSICAL SERPENT !! So, now all Snakes are changed physically to crawl on their belly and eat dust because of what a spirit creature did to them,by using a snake to deceive Eve.
The cattle and all creation are suffering because of an invisible cunning ,deceitful,spirit creature who had the upper hand on this weak,seducible woman.
In no court of law,when a woman is seduced is she held accountable.Her seducer is usually punished not her.Nor are the pets she owns i.e.the animals in the garden,punished.
What in the world did the physical snake do ,also the cattle and beast,do to God to warrant so much suffering,taking from a beautiful garden to a cold and survival of the fittest eat each other environment,and for the animals to ultimately get eating by man?
And I used to believe this!
