All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. The books of the Bible are not man’s opinions but God’s words. By the time we get to the events in Revelation, Scripture calls Satan the old serpent. He’s been around a long time. He’s known simply as the serpent in Genesis.
Is the serpent referenced in Genesis Satan? Is there evidence for this?

Christ said
He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
"So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Revelation 12:9)He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:2)"
Seems the end speaks about someone from the beginning. The author from the beginning is the same at the end.

All the Biblical authors were inspired by the Holy Spirit.
As was mentioned above, all Scripture is given by inspiration of God.
Also, Jesus Himself when discussing His claim to be God with the Jewish leaders in John 10, said that the "Scriptures cannot be broken". (This was right after he referenced Psalm 82.)
So it would be inconsistent to say that Satan would not be in the serpent in Genesis yet be referred to as such in Revelation.
Two different human authors, same Holy Spirit.

Again, there is only One Author of Scripture. Did you read Jeremiah 36?
Do you know that even today there are people who transcribe what others say? And the "author" is not the person who writes down what someone says. The "author" is the person who spoke what was written down.
Psalm 12:6-7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
You've been given everything you need in order to understand that God is the sole Author of Scripture. You either believe God's Word or you you don't.
I believe that Moses was inspired by the Holy Spirit to write the first 5 books on the bible starting with Genesis. "In the beginning..."
The forums are Not real time. Waiting 3 minutes and expecting an answer is not how things work in a forum.
Longer waits are expected in a forum.
Also you may want to consider picking a more appropriate pic before mods see your current one.
I said that they evaded answering my question directly. What is wrong with my pic?
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this, you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming and is now already in the world." (NKJV)It appears that you have much more in mind than what you have shared so far in your posts. If you share more fully what you're thinking, and perhaps where those thoughts originate, it will be easier to provide responses that are satisfactory.
Paul, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit guided every word.
Perhaps it is seen as being much less than modest, and therefore unbecoming for a woman on a Christian site.
Is this according to Jesus? If so Jesus died before Paul composed Corinthians so how is this guaranteed?
I (Paul) want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. Galatians 1:11-12
If you were an inspired prophet of Israel you would have been inspired from the same source using the same motifs.
Seeing as you are just some "dude' on a forum doesn't entitle you to write a book and add it to the bible.
You could do a Joseph Smith and start your own cult.
Jesus ascended to heaven and thus lost physical form, becoming inseparable from godJesus also rose from death. Jesus is alive and well
