Paul says in 2 Corinthians 11: ...I feel a divine jealousy for you (the church of Christ), for I betrothed you to Christ to present you as a pure bride to her one husband. But I am afraid that AS THE SERPENT DECEIVED EVE by HIS cunning, your THOUGHTS will be led ASTRAY FROM A SINCERE AND PURE DEVOTION TO CHRIST. 11: 2-3.
...IF you receive a DIFFERENT SPIRIT from the one you received, or if you accept DIFFERENT GOSPEL from the one you accepted, YOU SUBMIT TO IT readily enough. 11: 4.
Genesis 3:1 Now the serpent was more subtle than any other wild creature that the Lord God made.
The serpent and the woman were created by God to share the creation in a totally different way. The woman was the complement of man in the task that God designed for him.
Genesis 1: 26-28 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea (spirits dwelling in the cosmological ocean), and over the birds of the air (spirits dwelling in the cosmic air), and over the cattle (powers in cosmic energies), and over all the earth (all cosmic matter). So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth (cosmic matter) and subdue it (conquer it); and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth."
The living things that moved upon the earth were all the spirits that were placed in any kind of matter.
The serpent belonged to this range of creation, he was created in the universe to dwell in a specific place and that was in the region of the living things that moved upon the earth (cosmic matter) only.
When he (masculine force living over cosmic matter) approached the woman (feminine force complement to the man's force with the dominion of the entire universe) the serpent noticed that the woman was not following clearly the man's path through the response she gave to him about what God commanded them to do, changing the words of God to the way in which the serpent noticed her lack of understanding. God did not say "neither shall you touch it."
Man and woman did not need arms or legs to follow the will of God, they have God's power in them and God was the one who acted in them. When the serpent noticed that the woman was being filled with more materialistic thoughts just using the word "touch"he took the opportunity to deceive her.
