Eve and the serpent

God gave Eve a brain. Did she not know animals (snakes) cannot talk?

The biblical record is simply that “the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made” (Genesis 3:1), and Eve “was deceived” (1 Timothy 2:14).

Adam was also a rational human being, but he followed Eve’s sinful lead (Genesis 3:6).

Thankfully for them and for us, God promised a Savior to crush the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15). Jesus is that Savior. Satan’s final and complete defeat lies in the future (Revelation 20:2, 10).
