expedient to disassociate the act of eating with sex. Others, however, such as Bob Schlenker, teach
that after Eve committed gross sexual sin with the serpent that Adam then engaged in anal sex with
the same being.

Depending upon whether the individual identifies the serpent in the garden as a beast, or as the cherub
known as the devil and Satan, another angel, or a human precursor to Adam, humanity’s first
forebears are charged with committing bestiality, or gross immorality with a being of “strange flesh”
(Jude 7). This is just one reason that anyone contemplating this doctrine should be very cautious,
testing it patiently and with the utmost care. Adam and Eve are actual historical people. They are your
forebears and mine. To charge them with gross immorality of the most vile and wicked nature is
slanderous if in fact the charges are not true. Yahweh takes a very dim view on slander.

Leviticus 19:16
You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people...

Proverbs 16:28
A perverse man spreads strife, and a slanderer separates intimate friends.

Psalms 15:1-3
O Yahweh, who may abide in Your tent? Who may dwell on Your holy hill? He who walks with
integrity, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart. He does not slander with his tongue,
nor does evil to his neighbor...

Psalms 50:19-20
You let your mouth loose in evil, and your tongue frames deceit. You sit and speak against your
brother; You slander your own mother's son.

Proverbs 10:18
He who conceals hatred has lying lips, and he who spreads slander is a fool.
