"When Satan tempted Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, his bait was the assurance that in transgression they would reach a higher life than they had been created to enjoy. "You will be as God", he promised. (Genesis 3:5)
1: This desire to be as God the same that led to Satan's original sin in heaven:
"How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the
morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High." (Isaiah 14:12-14)

R.J.Weiland
