Gen 3 - The Serpent - We’re quick to say that the serpent is Satan himself, but how do we know that?

Skeptics have often asked; "How could a Holy and loving Elohim, who created such a perfect world, allow evil and corruption to appear at all?" What they really mean is, "If I were God, I would have done it better!" That's the truth behind such words. Why did He allow evil and corruption to come into the world at all? Why give them the capacity to disobey? Why have this serpent? The only real answer to that question is that it's all part of His plan. That's the way He wants it. That's the way He wanted it from the beginning.

What do we know about the Serpent? We’re quick to say that the serpent is Satan himself, but how do we know that? How do we know this is Satan? Does it say "Satan" anywhere in this account? Nowhere in Genesis does it say it was Satan. The theory that Satan was this a fallen angel, that he was once a perfect angel and was guarding the throne of Elohim and he suddenly developed pride, he waited till Elohim turned His back on him, then he got prideful and tried to rebel. That is not true, that is not in Scripture. But we will tell you what is in Scripture and who it is they are talking about.

People that have fallen for that theory state that Satan is a fallen angel. They state that he fell to earth between the time of creation and this time in Genesis 3. There’s not a single scripture that backs up that silly claim. We will show exactly where, in Scripture, it states that the serpent in the garden was Satan.

Scripture says Elohim created evil. A lot of people have a problem with that. We will show you where to find it, and how it is a part of His plan. Find out the relationship between sin and "nakedness" and where to find it in Scripture.

Paul writes about this also.
