Genesis 2:15-17 relates the account of God speaking to Adam, giving him direction to be obedient, when it says: "And the Lord God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die."
Later, at Genesis 3:1-4, Eve is heard telling Satan about this commandment, and Satan then knowingly lies to Eve when he says ". . . YOU positively will not die.". He then assigns a bad motive to God (Genesis 3:5). Because of this lie, mankind selfishly disobeyed God(John 8:44/John 3:8) and brought sin and death to themselves, and the entire human race (Genesis 5:5/Romans 5:12).
John 8:44New King James Version (NKJV)44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
Satan is mentioned in the bible 29 times. However, that is only when he is called by the name of Satan, he is talked about using other names, such as a dragon in Revelation.
In the Bible, the serpent, often associated with Satan, tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, not allowing her to resist the temptation.
While this is true, the Angels had written a book entitled "Satan's Bible" or "The Satanic Bible" while this has been updated in recent years, it displays prominent evidence of satan's actions up until the point of which he had persuaded Adam & Eve to eat from the forbidden tree's fruit. Sentences in his bible make statements in order to justify the reasoning behind his actions, but the written confirmable text to give a picture of what Satan looks like, or how he was created cannot be found. Any text claiming to give a description of how Satan was created or what he looks like has been forged and must be treated as such. Hope this helps!
No. Jesus and Satan are two very different individuals. However, there is difficulty between the King James translation of scripture and the NIV and other newer translations of the bible. There's way too much detail in the problems of translation to go into here, but both Jesus and Satan are referred to as a morning star in the NIV. In the KJ Bible they are not. Even without regard to the various translations of scripture, is clear that Jesus and Satan are nothing alike. As God, Christ is an eternal being having no beginning and no end. Satan is a created being, created by God. God is sovereign, meaning powerful over all, while Satan cannot claim such power. Jesus refers to Satan at the devil, as a murderer. In the desert during Christ's temptations, Satan offered the world to Jesus if Jesus would only bow down to worship him. These two are set apart clearly in scripture. As to the correct interpretation of the morning star, your guess is as good as mine.
There is no bible verse describing God rewarding last and Satan rewarding first. The only thing close to it is in two places: Matthew 19:28-30 and Matthew 20:1-16 Jesus is speaking and he says that the last shall be first and the first shall be last. In these verses Jesus is referring to the politics of the Kingdom of Heaven - it has nothing to do with Satan. Since Satan has been defeated, he has no authority to reward and he has nothing to do with Heaven at all. Good question.
