The Serpent - An Alternative View of the Devil

Horns, pitchfork, red and hideous. Who hasn't heard about the devil? But who or what is he? Is he a fallen angel? Many of us think so, but is this really what scripture teaches? If not, what does it teach? This study begins in Genesis and the creation story and challenges the longstanding traditional stance that we have all been familiar with for a very long time. I was born in California in 1957, but raised in Oklahoma, where my experience with Christianity began at the age of 19. After several years of attending various denominational and non-denominational churches, my love for the Bible and desire to understand the scriptures became a vital part of my life. Through in-depth study for the past 45 years, I have discovered that the message of scripture is truly one of hope, love, and encouragement for the entire world.
