Humanity is firmly planted in the Garden, but why is there a serpent there? Is this a divine setup? Who or what is this serpent figure, anyway? Why would God put a tree there that they couldn't eat from? And what is the deal with the Tree of Life? Is humanity created to be mortal, immortal, or something else?

The Image of God 30:25

How should we think about the fact that there are two creation accounts? What does it mean to be the image of God? Are humans to be servants of Adonai, or something else?
