Satans method

Satans method is described in beginning of Genesis 3.

(Genesis 3:1-6 [KJV])
 [1] Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
 [2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
 [3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
 [4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
 [5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
 [6] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

• Subtility is part of Satans method [1]
• Also inserting doubt into what is true [1] with the question mark.
• Then denying the truth (verse 4)
• Explaining away the truth with that you know they are just saying that because they don't want to you to get hold of the real power because then they cant rule you [5].
• Also in order to motivate someone to fall for satans lies it has to be pleasant to the eye or promising wisdom or power [6].

Satans method here can also be described as :

• saying something that is true but inserting a question mark (verse 1)
• and then saying a lie that can cause great damage to the victim if he believes it (verse 4-5)
