Approach: Learning about Satan and why he is so evil.

Hermeneutic objective: Learning how to carefully observe a biblical passage.

Theological objective: Satan has deliberately deceived and contributed to the death of human beings early in their creation. Satan's deception Eve, resulting in Adam and Eve's disobedience to God, introduced death to all human beings.

Satan is a natural liar and does not tell the truth.

Satan's influence is significant. He influences the whole world with his lies and deceit such that the truth about God and what is good and evil, right and wrong, is difficult to learn.

Those who believe Satan's version of the truth and acts upon them are considered children of the devil who carry out Satan's desires.
