In this episode of Solid Food, Dr. Lee Lewis explores one of Scripture’s most fascinating and misunderstood figures — the serpent of Genesis 3. Is the serpent merely a snake, or something far more complex? By tracing the biblicalstoryline from Eden to Ezekiel, Isaiah, and ultimately Revelation, this study examines how progressive revelation clarifies the identity of the great adversary. What does the Bible actually say about Satan — and what assumptionshave we imported into the text? Join us as we pursue accuracy over tradition and seek to understand “The Serpent, The Devil, and Satan.”
