Scriptures indicate the Serpent was more devious than any other beast of the field because he caused Adam and Eve to doubt God's Word. The phrase "you shall be like God" seemed to tempt them more than having dominion over the entire earth. The serpent added, "For God knows the very day you eat from this Tree He calls 'Knowledge of Good and Evil,' your eyes will be opened and you will be just like God." convincing them it was better to be equal to God than to simply be godlike.This Evil One, the Serpent, uses the same rationale today, walking the earth like a roaring lion yet appearing as an Angel of Light.
Genesis 3:5 "The serpent explained to the woman, "You won't die when you eat from the fruit of that particular tree. Instead, you will be just like God!, and see what's really going on, know everything, both the good and the bad, just like God does."
