And if the Serpent was really the "bad guy" in the Garden of Eden, then why is he being linked to Jesus Christ?

The "sting" of the serpent is like the "sting" that Israel encountered when they were attacked by sons of men. The only true solution for all of these kinds of similar political turmoil is for the lower class to be lifted up.

The least in the kingdom will be greater than the greatest in the (lower) world of the flesh.

Weird. You don't seem to actually believe in the promises that Jesus made, though. He told us to look to him. He is enough to save us. He said it clear as could be.

All you've done is to show that you reject whatever is in the Bible that you don't like under the pretense that the Holy Spirit is guiding you to discern what in the Bible is true and what is not.

He said, he would draw ALL [things] to himself, and that doesn't mean ONLY those that believe.

Did you even READ the second title I gave myself? Possibly, but you certainly didn't THINK about it.

See? you aren't paying attention either. I ALSO rell you that the Spirit Jesus taught about is described in detail concerning the nature we can identify. You don't seem to want to face that nature and live by it.

Your spirit indicates that it is you who has absolutely no discernment.

Yes. And it seems you'd believe the Spirit is Schizophrenic because he inspired the Apostles to say one thing and you think he tells you another.
