    That is not biblical teaching at all.

    Men were called serpents in the new testament.

    you can not back up some fallen angelic being named Satan being the serpent either---pure speculation.

    you mean that it is not a traditional teaching by most---as far as being biblical ---a fallen angelic being named Satan is not biblical also--its just a well known tradition handed down from the generations--scripture does support MEN as being serpents in the new testament--so from a biblical stand point I can base it on being a man.

    all people here seem to use is the Dragon scripture in Revelation--which is symbolic language of an empire and its leaders.

    Or the 2 texts in the OT--speaking of the king of Babylon and Tyre--which are MEN---scripture using figurative language once again in describing the judgement of God upon the 2 kings-their cities--and the cities round about them. not some double prophecy as some try to claim at all.

    I hold to the WORD Satan being only a word which relates to Adversary--whether the adversary being men or God as the OT brings out.

    Hey HisWitness,

    Can you be more specific (are you referring to the Pharisees, Mt. 3:7)?

    "[T]hat ancient serpent" is called "the devil and Satan" in Revelation 12:9 (ESV).

    Satan was a cherub, as we see in Ezekiel 28:16 (proving that he was an angel).
