Now, I do not believe that the Serpent is Lucifer/Satan. I can't find a particularly useful way of making that case.
But, despite the lack of anything concrete, the general public consensus has made the connection and effectively just states outright that "Satan is the Serpent." Is there any biblical reason to actually suspect this? Is there any real indication?
What did the ancient scholars think as a general consensus (there's always fringe groups)? What do modern scholars think as a general consensus?
Preferably with citations or references (I'll look into them myself, you don't have to actually post links). But if not, I'm still interested in hearing about it.
