Sometimes not knowing the truth about the first sin recorded in The Bible, has cause many to wonder just how sin got it start. The first book of the Bible tells of an opposer of God who showed up in the garden of Eden. He is described as "the serpent," but he was not a mere animal. The last book of the Bible identifies him as "the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth." He is also called the "original serpent" (Genesis 3:1; revelation 12:9) This powerful angel, or invisible spirit creature, used a serpent to speak to Eve, even as a skilled person can make it seem that his voice is coming from a nearby doll or dummy. That spirit person had no doubt been present when God prepared the earth for humans.

So by using lies and trickery, Satan the Devil caused Adam and Eve to disobey God. (Genesis 2:17; 3:6) As a result, they eventually died, as God had said they would if they disobeyed. (Genesis 3:17-19) When Satan led Adam and Eve into sinning against God, he was really leading a rebellion. He was challenging Jehovah's way of ruling. In effect, Satan was saying:' God is a bad ruler. He lies and holds back good things from his subjects. Humans do not need to have God ruling over them. They can decide for themselves what is good and what is bad. And they will be better off under my rulership.' Some think that God should simple have put the rebels to death. But would that answered Satan's challenge?

Jehovah's perfect sense of justice would not allow him to put the rebels to death right away. He decided that time was needed to answer Satan's challenge in a satisfying way and prove that the Devil is a liar. So God determined that he would permit humans to rule themselves for some time under Satan's influence.
