“…nowhere in the Bible does it say that
either Cain nor Abel were Adam’s son…
Those who have blood of this Serpent (and, possibly, other fallen angels) would go on to form ‘mixed’ multitudes of people…”
—Brett T. Mystery Babylon site
Herein I am concluding considering the claims of Brett T. who runs “Mystery Babylon the Great, the Definitive Website.” At issue are some of his claims about the serpent seedline of Satan theory which holds that Cain is the son of Eve and Satan and thus he and his descendants carry on Satanic genetics. You can find this series here.
So now, Brett does quote, “And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain… – Gen. 4:1 (KJV)” and comments thusly:
To many this is proof positive that Adam had sex with his wife; and was the father of Cain. An open-and-shut case… or is it? The word knew, if we examine the original Hebrew, here, does have the meaning of ‘to have sex with’ (which makes it easy to assume that they copulated). However, this word could also mean something totally different!
Apparently, since it “could also mean something totally different” then it must “mean something totally different.”
He rewrites the verse thusly, “And Adam eventually acknowledged the distinguishing sign that had come upon Eve; that she was with child, and realized she was about to give birth to Cain… – Gen. 4:1 (in retranslation).”
This is the sort of thing that serpent seedline of Satan theorists must do in order to get away from the fact that the Bible, as a whole, knows nothing of their theory.
Brett also gets into another issue with that text:
…when Eve first saw her baby, Cain, she may have assumed she had gotten him from somewhere beyond this world…Eve exclaims, “I have gotten a man from the LORD” (Gen. 4:1 KJV). According to the New Jerusalem Translation, however, the verse translates from the Hebrew just a little differently:
…I have gotten a man from an angel of the LORD.
Well, I am unsure as to what is meant by “New Jerusalem Translation” as, for example, the “New Jerusalem Bible” has the text as “The man had intercourse with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. ‘I have acquired a man with the help of Yahweh,’ she said.”
Brett elucidates:
Even if Eve might have been claiming only that she had gotten a man “from the LORD,” she apparently must have thought Cain was someone born of some very great circumstance, or was of some very special significance, to state that.
Indeed, apparently Eve thought Cain was someone born of some very great circumstance as he was her first born and in fact, the first born in the history of history and was thus of very special significance.
Now we come to the actions supposedly being caused by genetics as Brett asks (and answers), “Cain kills Abel, his own brother. Now, what would possess a man to do something as horrible as this?…the Serpent would naturally pass these negative attributes on to whomever he sired? Could this have been a reason why Cain so easily could have committed murder?”
In order to reinforce this, he does not quote the Bible but the apocrypha, the main Rabbinic Jewish mystical text, “The nature of the serpent is to lurk, so as to kill, and his issue, Cain, learned his ways. – Zohar Pekudei 21.”
Yet, the issue is quite simple: if Cain could not have sinned lest his father was the serpent (or, the Satan possessed serpent) and he had Satanic/serpentine genetics then, pray tell, why did Adam and Eve sin? They were direct creations of God with pristine genetics and yet, they sinned. Thus, this is a non issue.
Brett then quotes:
But He (God) turned to the serpent (in great wrath) and said: ‘Since thou hast done this… There shall not be left thee ear, nor wing, nor one limb of all that with which thou did ensnare them in thy malice and causesdst them to be cast out of paradise… – Apocalypse of Moses 26:1-4
FYI: This apocryphal text is aka Apocalypsis Mosis. Brett’s commentary is that “God dished out punishments ‘an eye for an eye’ – the Serpent’s sexual ‘limb’ was cursed, maybe for the way he used it.” Well, he is merely inserting the context of the limb being sexual. Also, this is somewhat tricky due to the terminology but the text does not refer to a, singular, limb but to plural limbs. This is because stating “nor one limb” implies others: nor one of the various.
Moreover, that text’s 18:1-3 makes clear that this was not about sex but about just that which the Bible tells us it was about: knowledge, “I would not have you ignorant. But arise, (come) hither, hearken to me and eat…he saith to me: ‘Fear not, for as soon as thou eatest of it, ye too shall be as God, in that ye shall know good and evil.’”
He then quotes the Zohar, which dates from circa three millennia after Genesis was written, to the effect that “the serpent had intercourse with Eve and injected filth into her, Eve bore Cain…. – Zohar Pekudei 21.”
He the quotes, “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. – Gen. 3:15 (KJV).” His comment is “The seeds of the Serpent would form into one bloodline; Adam and Eve’s seed into another.” He does accurately note that this is “a prediction about Jesus, himself, coming to earth.”
However, he continues by writing, “Those who have blood of this Serpent (and, possibly, other fallen angels) would go on to form ‘mixed’ multitudes of people” and quotes the following as back up:
…the members of the mixed multitude are the children of the primordial serpent that seduced Chavah (Eve) by the tree of knowledge, so the mixed multitude is indeed the impurity that the serpent injected into Chavah. From this impurity, which is considered the mixed multitude, Kayin (Cain) came forth and slew Hevel (Abel)… – Zohar 2 Beresheet A28
Well, you can see where this leads some people when they believe that there are humans and there are non-humans serpentine/fallen Angelic/Satanic beings.
The issue is that the Bible does, indeed, teach two seedlines and yet, these are based on actions and not genetics. This is about those who commit Godly righteous actions verse those who commit Satanic sinful actions. Since this is about actions then the good news is that those within the Satanic line can always repent.
