Having just had the displeasure of listening to a recording of William Finck and Clifton A. Emahiser discussing Finck’s article “The ‘Seed’ of Inheritance, part 1,” I thought it instructive to point out yet another folly in the Serpent Seed of Satan theory as expounded by them.
The recording was basically William Finck reading his article and stopping along the way to note that the White “race” is God’s own creation, that one of our modern day problem is that “our daughters are sleeping with…” let us say, “N” words, etc., etc., etc. It is truly sad that people who claim to be Christians could be so deceived and saturated with hatred. In the meantime, Clifton A. Emahiser could literally barely formulate a cogent sentence and did not have much to say beyond agreeing with Finck.
My previous articles on Emahiser are:
Clifton A. Emahiser’s serpent seed of Satan theory
Clifton A. Emahiser’s “Two Seedline” racism, part 1 of 2
Clifton A. Emahiser’s “Two Seedline” racism, part 2 of 2
Finck knows that he has to search far and wide outside of the Bible so as to find any scrap of ancient apocryphal folklore with which to seek to justify his unjustifiable racism. I will draw your attention to a statement within his article but first, let us consider that which he references for the sake of context.
The apocryphal text 4 Maccabees 18 states the following:
1 O Israelite children, offspring of the seed of Abraham, obey this law and exercise piety in every way, 2 knowing that devout reason is master of all emotions, not only of sufferings from within, but also of those from without. 3 Therefore those who gave over their bodies in suffering for the sake of religion were not only admired by mortals, but also were deemed worthy to share in a divine inheritance.
4 Because of them the nation gained peace, and by reviving observance of the law in the homeland they ravaged the enemy. 5 The tyrant Antiochus was both punished on earth and is being chastised after his death. Since in no way whatever was he able to compel the Israelites to become pagans and to abandon their ancestral customs, he left Jerusalem and marched against the Persians.
Then comes the key point to which Finck will point us:
6 The mother of seven sons expressed also these principles to her children: 7 “I was a pure virgin and did not go outside my father’s house; but I guarded the rib from which woman was made. 8 No seducer corrupted me on a desert plain, nor did the destroyer, the deceitful serpent, defile the purity of my virginity. 9 In the time of my maturity I remained with my husband, and when these sons had grown up their father died. A happy man was he, who lived out his life with good children, and did not have the grief of bereavement.
We will consider the rest of this chapter below.
Now, William Finck wrote that “the cell taken from Adam to create Eve very well may have been taken from one of his ribs.” Well, the Bible tells us that God took a rib from Adam so as to create Eve (Genesis 2:22). He then wrote:
It will be noticed that the Thomson’s Septuagint at Gen. 2:22 states in part, “And God built up the rib, which He took from Adam, into a woman …” [ellipses in Finck’s article]
A further example of this is found in the apocryphal books. For instance, in Brenton’s Septuagint, at 4 Maccabees 18:7-8, we find a woman who is obviously being compared to Eve:
“7 And the righteous mother of the seven children spake also as follows to her offspring: ‘I was a pure virgin, and went not beyond my father’s house; but I took care of the built-up rib. 8 No destroyer of the desert, [or] ravisher of the plain, injured me; nor did the destructive, deceitful, snake, make spoil of my chaste virginity; and I remained with my husband during the period of my prime’.” [emphasis by Finck]
Here is the rest of the chapter:
10 While he was still with you, he taught you the law and the prophets. 11 He read to you about Abel slain by Cain, and Isaac who was offered as a burnt offering, and about Joseph in prison. 12 He told you of the zeal of Phinehas, and he taught you about Hananiah, Azariah, and Mishael in the fire. 13 He praised Daniel in the den of the lions and blessed him. 14 He reminded you of the scripture of Isaiah, which says, “Even though you go through the fire, the flame shall not consume you.’ 15 He sang to you songs of the psalmist David, who said, “Many are the afflictions of the righteous.’ 16 He recounted to you Solomon’s proverb, “There is a tree of life for those who do his will.’ 17 He confirmed the query of Ezekiel, “Shall these dry bones live?’ 18 For he did not forget to teach you the song that Moses taught, which says, 19 “I kill and I make alive: this is your life and the length of your days.’”
20 O bitter was that day—and yet not bitter—when that bitter tyrant of the Greeks quenched fire with fire in his cruel caldrons, and in his burning rage brought those seven sons of the daughter of Abraham to the catapult and back again to more tortures, 21 pierced the pupils of their eyes and cut out their tongues, and put them to death with various tortures. 22 For these crimes divine justice pursued and will pursue the accursed tyrant. 23 But the sons of Abraham with their victorious mother are gathered together into the chorus of the fathers, and have received pure and immortal souls from God, 24 to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.
So, what has any of this gained William Finck, Clifton A. Emahiser, their racism or the serpent seed of Satan theory in general? Obviously nothing. In their desperation to find any crumb with which to make a loaf that they do not seem to realize that they are appealing to a text for support which discredits their view.
In short, the serpent seed of Satan theory contradicts the Bible (particularly Genesis 4:1) in claiming that Eve had sex with Satan and birthed Cain and sex with Adam and birthed Abel.
This would require Eve to have metaphorically gone beyond her father’s house (with God as her Father and his house being His authority), having had the destructive, deceitful, snake, spoil her chaste virginity and having not remained faithfully with her husband.
Yet, the quotations that William Finck provided us which refer to “a woman who is obviously being compared to Eve” stating the exact, 100%, 180 degree opposite as she “was a pure virgin, and went not beyond my father’s house; but I took care of the built-up rib. No destroyer of the desert, [or] ravisher of the plain, injured me; nor did the destructive, deceitful, snake, make spoil of my chaste virginity; and I remained with my husband during the period of my prime.”
Such “thinking” seems to be in place for those who apparently, “did not like to retain God in their knowledge” so that “God gave them over to a reprobate mind” (Romans 1:28).
