Yes, Genesis 3:1 states that serpent was "more subtil than all the beasts of the field". In addition, when God cursed the serpent he became a snake, that is, crawled on his belly. If this is not so then the curse God pronounced had little effect. Finally, a snake has a forked tongue and cannot articulate words. Thus the original serpent was an upright beast.

The Hebrew word for serpent comes from the root "nachash" meaning:

to practice divination, divine, observe signs, learn by experience, diligently observe, practice fortunetelling, take as an omen [Strong's Lexicon 5172]

Also see REVELATION 12:9

And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Notice the words "old serpent" who deceives. Remember that the devil through the serpent brought the original sin in the Garden of Eden and attempts a final great deception "mark of the beast" in the book of revelations.

How do you stop a generational curse?

There are different kinds of 'generational' curses. 1) According to the Bible, -- 'sin' is a generational curse brought upon mankind by our foreparents Adam & Eve. This curse leads to the death of all mankind. Only Christ Jesus' sacrifice, can and will end the curse of sin. He can redeem mankind from this curse; by granting them 'everlasting life' in Paradise on earth. 2) If there is a curse pronounced upon a person or his family by another fellow human; -- then the worship of, and prayer to Jehovah God, The Almighty of the Universe; has been known to stop a generational curse in a very short time. For example, Jehovah's Witnesses who have received a voodoo curse; are untouched by the curse. The curse has no power over them; to the amazement of the curser. This is because they worship Jehovah God; and Jehovah protects them from human induced curses. Perhaps there are additional answers to this question.


Is ay cramaba a curse?

"Ay caramba!" is a minced oath, meaning a curse that's been changed so it doesn't sound like a curse. The word "caramba" comes from the Spanish word "carajo," a slang word for male genitalia. Just like some people don't like the word "dang," some people won't like "Ay caramba." To most people, it won't be a curse, but to some it will be.


Is there such thing as a curse?

There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of curses. Curses are often considered superstitious beliefs or ascribing supernatural powers to negative events. Ultimately, belief in curses is subjective and varies from person to person.

Was the snake Satan in the garden of eden?

It was a serpent in the Garden and the serpent spoke to Eve. There is no indication that the serpent was a snake or that it was not in some other form before God found out what Eve and Adam had done. It was then that God told the serpent that he would crawl on his belly and eat the dust of man forever. Why would God curse something that already was. In other words God would not curse the serpent to not walk if it was already not walking. So it stands to reason that if the serpent was cursed to crawl then it was apparently walking before the curse that God put on it. Plus it also communicated to Eve to disobey God's law.Serpent is a word of Latin origin (from serpens, serpentis "something that creeps. So couldn't the creeper have been something else that creeped. Maybe a fallen angel that worked against God and when God discovered what he had done cursed this angel and all of its offspring to crawl on its belly forever thus a snake.

What are the six-fold curse on the serpent and on mankind?

First, God cursed the Serpent to crawl and lick the dust, rather than be the pretty creature he had been before. Second, in Genesis 3:16, God said to Eve that he would greatly increase her pains in childbirth. Third, we read in the same verse, that the woman's desire will be for her husband and he will rule over her. Fourth, verses 17 and 18 tell us that man would have to painfully work the ground for his food. The ground would also produce thorns and thistles and man will eat the plants of the field. Fifth, God told Adam that man would return to the ground as dust after he dies as shown in verse 19. Sixth, the punishment for Adam and Eve, stated in verses 23 and 24, would be banishment from the Garden of Eden.
