How did Satan become Satan? Did God create evil? What really happened in the Garden of Eden with the serpent? In this eye-opening teaching, Pastor James Epperly explains the Bible’s supernatural worldview—Eden as heaven’s meeting place on earth, God’s Divine Council, and why free will made evil possible without making God its author. You’ll learn: Who/what the “serpent” (nachash) really was—beyond a talking snake Why Eden was God’s holy mountain and the overlap of heaven and earth How a throne-guardian (cherub/seraph) rebelled and became Satan Why the tree of the knowledge of good and evil had to exist What evil actually is (absence of good), and why God remains only good How Jesus fulfills Genesis 3:15 and crushes the serpent’s head This message will strengthen your faith, answer hard questions, and help you live confidently in God’s goodness.
