Hi,

Would you say the two sentences, of which one is yours, are pretty much saying the same thing from the pretty much the same perspective?

What is this animal that comes out in the Bible as the one which tempted (tempts??) Adam into eating the apple?

What is this animal in the Bible that tempts Adam into eating the apple?

Yes...with reservations.
'comes out in the bible' does not work. You could re-phrase this as 'that is mentioned in the bible' and then the sentence works ok.

I'm also not happy with 'this' animal. 'the' animal would be better.
