:''Now that we have come this far, let me try to crystallize your thinking on this subject so you can see the necessity of our going into the 'serpent seed doctrine' as I have. We start with the fact that there were TWO trees in the midst of the garden. The Tree of Life was Jesus. '''The other tree is definitely Satan''' because of what came forth of the fruit of that tree.

If Eve was the one who the serpent had sex with, was it not Eve who offered Adam the fruit? Note the same fruit and the same tree.

Obviously, this is | Obviously, this is nonsense - which is why message believers are quick to reject this obvious conclusion, and why serpent seed is clearly a false doctrine. | ||
If Serpent's Seed is wrong, accepting it means you are bearing false witness against Adam in that he had sex with the serpent. | If Serpent's Seed is wrong, accepting it means you are bearing false witness against Adam in that he had sex with the serpent. |
