Episode description

The Bible, a cornerstone of religious and moral guidance for billions, contains narratives and teachings that have been interpreted in myriad ways throughout history. Among these interpretations, the serpent seed theory proposed by William Branham stands out for its controversial and provocative nature. Branham, a proponent of Oneness theology, suggested that the serpent in the Garden of Eden seduced Eve, leading to a sexual union that resulted in the birth of Cain. This interpretation, which diverges significantly from traditional views of the Fall as an act of disobedience, posits that sin is inherently sexual. This essay explores the erotic elements within the Bible, focusing on the Song of Songs, the Book of Proverbs, and the story of David and Bathsheba, while also examining the theological and social implications of the serpent seed theory.
