The “Seed of Satan” Does the Devil Have Offspring on this Earth? Part 3
…..Thy Seed and Her Seed
Seeline preachers claim that Gen 3:15 lies at the very foundation of scriptural truth. It is held up as probably the single most important verse in the Whole of Scripture? (Charles Lee Marge, The Two Seeds of Genesis 3:15 pg 4), and is said to be the KEY to the grand truth in the Holy and Sacred Scriptures (ibid). It is called the seed plot of all scripture, and its proper understanding of Scripture or the World Situation (ibid p 13).
In Ge 3:13, the Eternal said And I will put enmity between thee [the serpent or Satan] and the woman [Eve], and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Seedline proponents argue that if her see (Eve's legitimate posterity) is a literal, flesh-and-blood racd, then thy seed (Satan's progeny) must also be a literal, flesh-and-blood race. We are inconsistent in our interpretation, we are told, if we say that one seed is literal and the other spiritual, or symbolic.
Thus, two races came from Eve—one by Satan, the other by Adam. Adam's descendants, through Seth, are said to be the righteous people who proclivities toward righteousness and good deeds; while Satan's descendants, through Cain, have the characteristics of the father of their race.
As you might imagine, the forbidden fruit (Ge 3:6) Eve partook of was not the forbidden fruit! It was, we are told, illicit sexual relations with the Devil.
According to the teaching, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil represents the serpent, or Satan; the Hebrew word translated eat can be rendred lay; the word food refers to sex: fruit implies offering, or the seed and produces offspring.
Thus Ge 3:6 may be interperted this way: And when the woman saw that Satan was good for sex, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a serpent to be desired to make one wise [note: sex and wisdom are related in pagan religions], she took of the seed thereof, and lay...
Cain and Abel (Ge 4:1-2) we are told were twins, but had different fathers. Satan was the father of Cain. Adam was the father Abel. Two seeds proponents point out that it is possible for twins to have different fathers.
The serpent's seedline began with Cain, survived the Flood through one or more of Noah's daughter-in-law, and continued through the Canaanites and related people. In the time of Yahvahosha the Messisah, they were found among the Pharisees, and in the world today, they are known as Jews, who seedlines preachers say are counterfeits of the true House of Judah.
Propnents of this doctrine play hop-scotch through the Scriptrues, seeking out words and phrases that seem supportive of their belief. They point to Mt 3:7 where John the Baptist called the Pharisees and Addducees a generation [race] of vipers [serpents] to Mt 23, where Yahvahosha called the scribes and Pharisees serpents a generation of vipers and children of them which killed the prophet.
They frequently call Jn 8:44 where Yahvahosha, speaking to a group of Jews, says, Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. They claim that it was this counterfeit bastard seedline who cried out, Let Him [Yahvahosha] be impaled! (Mt 27:22-23) and who said, His blood be on us, and on our children (vs 26).
One of the most frequent scriptural references appearing in seedline publication is 1Jn 3:12 which speaks of Cain, who was of that wicked one...Another is Jn 10:26, where Yahvahosha says to the Jews, But ye believe not, because you are not of my sheep...
They also tracd the Devil's seedline through the Hebrew Scripture. They seem especially fond of passages such as Zech 14:21, which foretells the time when there shall be no more of Canaanite in the house of YAHVAH of hosts: and Obadiah 18, which speak of a time when there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau.
To this latter verse, the afre-mentioned preacher added his commentary: Praise the Eternal, he said: when this thing finally goes down, you'll search this kingdom over and you will not find one single solitary Jew left anywhere, because the Eternal has spoken it.
We could cite many other scriptures seedline preachers commonly use as prooftexts, but the above should give you a sufficiently clear picture of their doctrinal position and of the prejudice and hatred that so obivously underlies their position.
Prejudice and hatred are by no means rare in the world in which we live. Chances are, some of you reading this article have had, at one time or another, megative feelis toward people of racial or ethnic origins different from your own. Perhaps some of you have feelings strong enough that you could be easily influence byt the seed of Satan teaching. If so, realize that such feeling can actually blind you to the truth of the revealed Word of Yahvah.
So lay aside whatever prejudice you may have, now, as we put this seedline doctrine to the acid test of the Scripture! It's time we stopped allowing our feeling—our prejudices, our animosities, our bases—to sape and form our beliefs! It's time we start letting the Scriptures give us our beliefs, and stop trying to read our own ides into Scripture.
It's time we understood the TRUTH of this matter! To be Cont!
