In a continuing discussion about Genesis, two more questions arose.

1. Were Adam and Eve elect? In a recent sermon, my friend's pastor said that Adam and Eve went to Hell. I have always believed that, even though they were the first humans to sin, that God's grace in Christ was also extended to them. However, after further review, the Bible seems fairly silent on their ultimate salvation. Are there any other passages of Scripture that shed light on the issue?

2. On a slightly odd note, from the curse on the snake to crawl on it's belly, are we to assume that at one point the snake had feet and walked? This particular question arose from a sermon about "walking with God" where instances of the word "walk" in the OT were commented on. I can only assume the snake walking was implied from the curse since I don't see the word "walk" associated with the serpent in Genesis.

Thanks,
John
