I believe the bodies we have now are much the same as the bodies God gave the angels with which to enjoy the newly created earth way back then. After the fall I believe God kept the rebelling angels on the earth and gave them over to the crude and monstrous bodies found in the fossil records as punishment.
The "serpent" (Hebrew: enchanter) was real. It just wasn't a physical serpent. The Hebrew allows a literal snake and a figurative one.
Why does this bother you so much? Do like Unkotare, just hit "disagree" or "fake news".
The word for serpent in Hebrew is nachash which is both a noun and an adjective meaning snake, brazen, shiny one, and/or someone who practices divination, the magical arts, sorcery, what is now well known as hypnotism, brainwashing, or mind control, the feared and revered stars of the ancient world forever condemned by God as the lowest of all human life forms,"Lower than cattle and all the wild beasts of the field." for 'beguiling' A&E into defying the command of God which was murder. If you eat the bullshit of a deceitful conartist you will surely die.
Right. I am not a sinner. I always do exactly as my God commands. Its as easy as telling a conman to **** off.
Not exactly. Sinners cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. The Law of my God is the firmament, basis, of Heaven. Either a person stands on the Law or is under it. The realm of my God is Heaven, the realm of the dead, like you, is hell under the condemnation of my God for your murders, sorcery, and for only loving and practicing deceit.
A person who takes part in the first resurrection from the tomb of false beliefs and vile and degrading religious practices is no longer is subject to judgment for they have already passed from death to eternal life. Those who take part in the first resurrection cannot be harmed by the second death which is death of the physical body.

"Take, from my hand, this cup of fiery wine and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. When they have drunk it they will vomit and go mad; such is the sword that I am sending among them."

There's a cult in India that believes humans learned to talk from the birds.
"Take, from my hand, this cup of fiery wine and make all the nations to whom I send you drink it. When they have drunk it they will vomit and go mad; such is the sword that I am sending among them."
"I have not come to bring peace but a sword."
"From his mouth there went a sharp sword with which to smite the nations."
"Take this cup of wine and drink it, all of you. The is my blood, the blood of the covenant."
"Just art thou, in these thy judgments, thou Holy One who art and wast; for they shed the blood of thy people and of thy prophets and thou hast given them blood to drink."
He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.
