blame the serpent

So the LORD God said to the serpent, "Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. (Genesis 3:14)

From the above verse we read Yahweh cursed the “SERPENT” for the fall of man. our Christian friends tells us “SATAN CAME IN DISGUISE AS THE SERPENT”, the question is why would Yahweh curse a reptile who had nothing to do with the fall?

Imagine someone disguised as you and shot a person and you get the blame for it instead if the assailant. You are now charged for manslaughter and taken to court, even though the judge had sufficient evidence that you were not involved yet still punished you, would you all that justice? No of course not, then why is the serpent being punished for the act of Satan.

Also if the serpent is supposed to be the cause of man’s fall why then did Jesus say be smart as the serpent?

"I am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves, so be wise as SERPENTS and innocent as doves. (Matthew 10:16)


Christian tend to respond that Satan was the serpent in disguise and quote Revelation

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:9)



it took over 2000 years for John to tells us that the serpent in the garden of Eden was actually Satan?

what’s funny about this is, Christians attack Muslims by saying “your Book came 600 years later”, let’s use the same criteria for their Book. nowhere in the entire Old Testament is Satan blamed for insinuating eve to eat the fruit, why did it take 2000 years for a Greek unknown man to tell us? why did the Old Testament miss out such crucial detail of all time. why couldn’t the Torah simple just say Satan was the cause of man’s fall, rather than using the serpent as its opponent? The Talmud, Midrash nowhere do we find such details that Satan was the serpent in disguise
