In the account of the temptation of Eve and the Fall of mankind, in Genesis chapter 3, we are introduced to a creature called 'the serpent'. Who or what is this creature? Was it a real serpent? Some people try to make out that the story is just symbolic or an allegory, because animals do not speak human language. So who or what is the person who uses the body of this 'beast of the field', not only to speak to Eve, but also to persuade her to disobey almighty God?

If, on the Mount of Transfiguration, Moses (the law) appeared to Jesus, and Elijah (the prophets) appeared, but the "voice" said, "This is my son, listen to him"... what does that suggest? For me, it suggests that the rest of the "bible" is optional reading material for the non-Jewish disciple.
