Do you think that snakes know why they have to crawl on their bellies forever?

@LadyGrace I have not seen anything in the Bible indicates that either. But the Lord made it clear that they will crawl on their bellies forever because of the temptation of the Apple. To me that is a form of punishment. So if the Lord is going to punish the serpent and every one that comes there after forever by having no legs and will crawl on their bellies forever.... Then why would all snakes be punished and not even know why they are being punished? And it does seem like that because they are animals and they wouldn't know the answer why. But then again, most animals are much smarter than we give them credit for. They like most animals, obviously cannot talk to us to tell us that they know or not know why.

@IndianaJoes Yes, it definitely is a punishment and the Lord said so in His Word.

@LadyGrace I just wonder if somehow that all snakes know that they are being punished.

@IndianaJoes I somehow think they don't because they can't reason like people do, but then I wouldn't rule it out, because nothing is impossible with God.

@LadyGrace I agree with you on that and it seems feasible. I just wonder why he would punish all snakes forever instead of just that snake.

@IndianaJoes because sin brings a curse and it did to all of nature and mankind. The devil to me, is sin personified, just as Jesus is Love personified. He hates sin so much, because it keeps us lost, condemned, and separated from Him, until we repent. But there's so much more to this and I'll be writing about it. It's not what we think
