Did Satan Eat Of The Forbidden Fruit?

Do you think Satan convinced God to plant the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? Adam being the original Job scenario?

And to make it a free will choice plant a tree of life beside the tree that was forbidden.

 

How in the world does this topic of complete speculation end up in the Calvin v Arminius Forum?

Mod's can we move this topic to the "Utter speculation" Forum???

 

The speculative question is based the fallacy of the argument from silence.

 

Certainly the whole of creation could have eaten and nothing bad would happen, as long as Adam never did.

Eve showed Adam when she ate that nothing bad would happen, as far as we know.

We know that more than if Satan ate.

The problem is Eve said "they" could not even touch it. How did she get the fruit without touching it? Is that not false confirmation bias. She claimed touching it would produce death. Then when she touched it, nothing happened. She was hooked on Satan's deception with her own false argument.

 

I agree that the number of utter speculation topics is great. I am just wondering how it relates to a theological difference between Arminians and Calvinists???

 

Don't many threads end up on that topic ?

 

Adam did not blame the serpent. Did Satan see that one coming?

Adam should not have blamed any one but himself. I am curious why he did not dig deeper into why he was being treated so nicely by his wife and eating something she offered him.

Paul places all the blame on Adam without justifiable speculation. Was Adam tricked, or did he actually know he was disobeying God?

Siding with Paul, I think Adam ate in direct disobedience. I doubt Adam knew about the conversation Eve had with the serpent, else he could have blamed the serpent instead of his wife. Adam should have known the differences in what fruits were. By that fact alone he would have known it was different and from what tree.

 

Genesis 3:5-6, ". . . For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. . . ."

 

No, Satan didn’t eat the fruit. I don’t believe angels/demons are capable of eating or drinking, and certainly have no need to being spiritual beings.

As long as we are speculating, I wonder what snakes looked like before they lost their arms and legs and were forced to crawl in their bellies?

peace to you

 

Well, God cursed him and said from then on he would crawl on his belly. He must not have been crawling before that so I’m speculating the serpent walked on four legs like a dog or two legs like human beings.

peace to you

 

Cows?

A huge dinosaur?

A dragon?

An iguana?

"Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field."

What is the beast of the field? Cows, horses buffalo, deer, prairie dogs, or any wild animals found all around the world?

 

Iguanas already crawl n their belly. I’m thinking something like a velociraptor.Retile walks upright, claws, etc.

peace to you

 

It lost it's ability to talk as well.

 

You must have missed the “Jungle Book”

The snake tells Mobly “trusssssst in meeeeee, trusssssst in meeeeee”. As his eyes twirl to hypnotize.

peace to you
