Kenites might have originally been black,
but we also have black Jews now.
I wouldn't mind hearing an unbiased opinion that
clarifies this more, as I'm really not grasping the objection to
serpent seed--is that it, that people might relate it to blacks?
Really, whether SS is literal or only spiritual strikes me more
as an understanding issue than a salvation issue-
-to me it is the model that makes the most sense
(the serpent is transformed after into a species
that could not mate w/humans any longer, say; etc),
and I doubt that the understanding I have now
is the one I will have then. I'm still trying to integrate
this "Adam" and "Ish" thing in there too.

Sorry if I missed it, but have you posted the scripture that says Satan was the father of Cain? And what the "correct" translation of
Genesis 4:1 ("And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD") is?
