We are not to judge any scriptures until we hear from above; or we are seeking our own will and are not hearing from God. Our own spirit is very deceitful in manipulating God’s voice in our thoughts. Adam represents man’s wisdom which is earthly, sensual, devilish, the scriptures never mentions that God created a serpent only Adam. On any given Sunday you can hear the serpent speak our wisdom or judgement about the Bible. Psalm 140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders’ poison is under their lips. Selah. Native Americans once said, men speak with forked tongues.  Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. God in this verse warns against judging His word, but even as Adam we cannot help ourselves: we are going to judge it. Eve followed her husband who is represented by the serpent and was deceived by him. 1 Timothy 2:14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. The woman was forgiven of her transgression but not the man: he had the commandments first and chose to disobey God. Psalm 32:1 Blessed is he in whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Eve replied to the serpent or to Adam the following: 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. Now the first lie is told by the father of lies in the next verse, Adam is just symbolize the serpent earthly wisdom. Genesis 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die. Who do we imagine Jesus is talking about in the next verse? John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. Notice it says He was a liar from the beginning and who was there first? Adam. Eve is blessed, and Adam is cursed because he chose to be married to the carnal understanding of God’s word. Adam saw the word first and made it sin, note: God never told Adam he could not touch the tree in the midst of the garden only not to eat of it. Eating deals with how we partake of something as we discern which spirit voice we are hearing: there are two voices. Job 12:11Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat? While working with the public you might greet hundreds of people a day and while the greeting might all be the same: the tone of the voice discerns the person character. Genesis 3:14And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed 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. The serpent and Adam are one in the same, God never created a serpent only man intellect or wisdom. Remember, please remember these are allegory or parables: God uses the physical to try and show us the Spiritual. Adam chose to disobey God and then turned around and blamed God for giving him Eve or the Law. Genesis 3:12  And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. We spiritually tell God to His face, you gave me the Bible or woman and I interpreted or ate of it my way?1 Corinthians 15:21 For since by [Adam] man came death, by man [Jesus] came also the resurrection of the dead. What about Eve because Adam or the dead letter of the law has chosen to go another way. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. The word way, in the above verse deals strictly with our thinking, nothing is physical. Evil men and women have stated that God’s seed represents money: how the serpent despises God’s word. Luke 8:11  Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. Genesis 3:15  and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Eve seed would be the incorruptible word of God and the serpent seed would be the corruptible seed. 1 Peter 1:23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. The carnal mind or spirit of Adam would be in enmity against God word and is not subject to its laws. Romans 8:7Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. How does this bruising tie in with Genesis 3:15, it says spiritually the seed would bruise the serpent head? When I sit down to write, most of God’s wisdom comes in small portions and I might wait days for any answers: as with the word bruise. The woman seed would be that of a man: and thou shalt bruise his heel. Now I might have read this verse many times and when we come to a verse that is a mystery to us, we should not skip over it and go to the next verse as millions do. I suppose to kill a physical snake the best way would be to cut off the head. Being from the city it is uncommon to see any physical snakes or serpents crawling around, but vipers everyday walking on two legs. Dragon, vipers, Satan, leviathan are symbols that represent the carnal wisdom of men and spiritual wicked kingdom they are a part of. You do not have to join a physical Church to be a part of Satan’s kingdom, our thinking puts us there and we are already spiritually marked for destruction. Romans 16:17  Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. Now Adam from the beginning started out as a serpent, but by now spiritually he has become a great Dragon. Jude 1:16These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage. Adam or man’s wisdom goes from murmuring against God’s Law to speaking great swelling words on any given Sunday and the people love it. Isaiah 14:14I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. This is just the boast of physical man as he exalts his own wisdom above God: men will be like the Highest, Really?15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. The carnal mind of man has made the devil into an unknown entity and failed to realize it is him. Now the next verse once really troubled me because my carnal mind refused to acknowledge what the Spirit was trying to reveal to me. 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee,
and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble,
that did shake kingdoms. The devil is a man? Just go look in the mirror! Do you witness anything about a fallen angel or the other carnal-minded foolishness?
