Bible Question: What was the First Sin?

Pbee, it’s important to note there that “Satan” isn’t explicitly in the Eden story. He’s never mentioned in all of Genesis. It’s only a later extrapolation that says that the serpent was Satan or was inspired by or possessed of Satan. In Gensis, the serpent is just a serpent. Talking animals are common in “just-so” stories, and also appear elsewhere in the Bible. Let’s not add stuff to the text that isn’t there, as we so often see fundamentalists do.Have a fun day-Equinox

Arachno, could you comment on my post #254? That seems clear to me but I wanted to check with you as well. Thanks-
