The devil was called a serpent.
The parallel between the New Testament temptation of Jesus and the Old Testament temptation of Adam and Eve is found in the person of the tempter, the Devil. In the New Testament, the Devil appears in his real form as Satan. He offers Jesus earthly powers. In the Old Testament, the Devil appears in the assumed form of his familiar, the sinister serpent. The slithering snake offers bogus divine powers to Adam and Eve.
Tom = greeddevil = temptation
Adam and eve got tempted to eat fruit from the forbidden tree. Jesus also got tempted to eat bread from the devil. Similarity. What was different was that jesus didn't give in, and adam and eve did give in.
The serpent is supposed to represent evil or temptation or sin. You could say it represents the devil basically who always tempts humanity.
The Devil's name is Lucifer, which means Light-Bringer. He was once one of God's best angels before he rebelled.
because of temptation==goes back to when eve offered an apple to Adam and he took into temptation
The temptation in "The Devil and Tom Walker" is when the devil offers Tom great wealth and riches in exchange for his soul. Tom is tempted by the idea of becoming wealthy quickly, but ultimately faces the consequences of making a deal with the devil.
no you are confused. eve did not have adam she was his wife. she had cain but this was long after banishment from the garden of eden in which she met the devil in form of a snake. she said that the devil tricked her or beguiled her into disobeying god. the devil did not perform any sexual act on eve. eve had two other sons mentioned in the bible able who was murdered by cain and seth who's lineage the jews came from.
No and never. The devil never forces anyone, but uses the concept of temptation.
Initially his job was to help mankind. But he introduce temptation.
In theology, the devil does not act bad, it encourages humans to make bad choices through temptation.
It represents Eve giving Adam the apple of temptation.
