Serpent seed

Serpent seed, dual seed or two-seedline is a controversial religious belief which explains the biblical account of the fall of man by saying that the serpent in the Garden of Eden mated with Eve, and that the offspring of their union was Cain. This appears in early Gnostic writings such as the Gospel of Philip (c. 350). This teaching was explicitly rejected as heresy by Irenaeus (c. 180) and later by mainstream Christian theologians. A similar idea appeared in Jewish midrashic texts in the 9th century and in the Kabbalah. According to The Celtic Church In Britain, by Leslie Hardinge, the early Celtic church taught the belief in the seduction of Eve by the serpent.

Notable proponents of the serpent-seed doctrine have included Daniel Parker (1781–1844),William M. Branham (1909–1965), and Arnold Murray (1929–2014). This belief is also held by some adherents of the white supremacist theology known as Christian Identity, who claim that the Jews are descended from the serpent. It is considered heresy by the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches and by most Protestants. The Unification Church, for example, teaches that Eve committed adultery with the devil, but does not teach the serpent-seed doctrine.
