and if the serpent was satan how can he be resigned to hell, and also cursed to crawl limbless on the earth for all time?
Comment on Satan Was The Good Guy This Whole Time?
JustPlainDave@lemmy.zip 2 days agoAlso, “Satan” as we know him is a fairly recent invention. Originally there were multiple “Satan’s” as the word itself means “the accuser” or “the adversary”. The serpent in the Adam and Eve story is never said to be Lucifer or even a specific being. That’s a retcon.

The notion that Lucifer as mentioned in Ezekiel 28 and Isaiah 14 is somehow a satan or even the Satan is also a later interpolation that’s highly questionable.

Yeah, iirc wasn’t the first Lucifer just a Babylonian king who was prophesied to fall from grace?
