There was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, so called because there was a positive revelation of the will of God about this tree, so that by it man might know moral good and evil.
God will fight for you and you only have to be silent.
For god is not a god of confusion but of peace. Heaven is a destination for Christians. Sin stops men and women from going to heaven.Sin stops everyone from going to heaven. Sin took away all hope of going to heaven.

"Do not love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world passes away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever." (I John 1:15-17)
Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

Add excerpt to genesis 1
When god created humans he gave these unique creatures the ability to make decisions. As a result people may choose either to do the will of god or the will Satan.
God created Man to respond to temptation (by Satan otherwise known as free will "resist the devil and he will flee from you") or the drawing of the Spirit (given to him by God "god said my spirit shall not strive with man for he is indeed flesh" "....the father the word and the holy spirit and these three are one"). We have a choice to obey GOOD or EVIL. (he also created angels to respond to free will)
Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil.
The fear of the lord is to hate evil.
And god saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth and that every imagination of the thought of his heart was only evil continually.
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
By virtue of his own suffering under temptation he is able to help those who are exposed to temptation.
Jesus is our ultimate example for spiritual warfare. Observe how Jesus handled direct attacks from Satan when He was tempted by him in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11 ). Each temptation was answered the same way—with the words “It is written.” Jesus knew the Word of the living God is the most powerful weapon against the temptations of the devil. If Jesus Himself used the Word to counter the devil, do we dare to use anything less?
The Christian life is a warfare against sin, Satan, the world, and the flesh.
And he said to them "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven."
God created Man to rule over the earth. When Satan was cast out of heaven to the earth, he tempted Eve.
The fall of Satan
Satan was created as a perfect being. He is described as originally being wise and completely righteous.4 However, pride caused Satan to fall, ("your heart was lifted up because of your beauty"),4 since he wanted to receive the worship due to God alone.14 At that point there was rebellion in heaven, when Satan convinced one third of the angels to rebel against God.15 Michael, an archangel of God, fought with God's angels against Satan and his angels, with Satan losing the battle and being cast from heaven down to earth.15
Lucifer was a beautiful creature who guarded god's throne.

God loves us more than we can possibly imagine. The depth of His love is limitless. Many times it seems that the focus on the attributes of God falls mainly upon that love and rightly so, for God has displayed His love throughout history, from His placing of Adam in the Garden of Eden through the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is even a “love chapter” in the Bible. 1st corinthians 13

satan is the spirit that works in the sons (man and woman) of disobedience teach people to doubt (doubt is the brother of shame) and fear that jesus christ is not fighting for you. the wicked are violent and proud. Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight and was full of violence. 12 God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways.
The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them. 5 The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates.
Pride - It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God).

"The poison of vipers is on their lips." 14 "Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness." 15 "Their feet are swift to shed blood; 16 ruin and misery mark their ways, 17 and the way of peace they do not know." 18 "There is no fear of God before their eyes." 19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. 20 Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.

Lucifer
All that is Evil
?As far as the seven deadly sins are concerned, Lucifer is responsible for pride (pride in possessions) in mortals (human beings). This sin comes from Lucifer’s own pride resulting in his downfall from Heaven. Lucifer loved himself above anything, and without ignorance as an excuse. Ranked highest of angels, with his seat in Heaven next to God, God allowed him power over earth. When God left his seat, however, Lucifer sat himself on the heavenly throne. This outlandish display of Lucifer’s pride started a war among Angels, and when Michael finally succeeded in banishing Lucifer from heaven he was cast down to Earth and called Satan. The angels that followed him in the fall became the demons currently causing all the afflictions of human nature, with Lucifer as the reigning King.
Mere plebeians need not to worry too much about Lucifer’s strong hold on Earth, as he targets more prominent figures to be victims of his direct company. Historically his presence has been seen in the prideful tyrannical rulers of Rome, but some could make arguments that his charisma is making a resurgence in more recent world leaders.
Pride
Main article: Pride
Building the Tower of Babel was, for Dante, an example of pride. Painting by Pieter Brueghel the Elder
In almost every list, pride (Latin, superbia), or hubris (Greek), is considered the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins, and the source of the others. It is identified as a desire to be more important or attractive than others, failing to acknowledge the good work of others, and excessive love of self (especially holding self out of proper position toward God). Dante's definition was "love of self perverted to hatred and contempt for one's neighbour." In Jacob Bidermann's medieval miracle play, Cenodoxus, pride is the deadliest of all the sins and leads directly to the damnation of the titulary famed Parisian doctor. In perhaps the best-known example, the story of Lucifer, pride (his desire to compete with God) was what caused his fall from Heaven, and his resultant transformation into Satan. In Dante's Divine Comedy, the penitents were forced to walk with stone slabs bearing down on their backs to induce feelings of humility.

Lucifer: I've had no need to influence humanity for many millennium idea. I simply introduced sin. Men is the one who has spreaded it like a disease; cultivating it, empowering it. "".......You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world.""......who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him."
Beatrice: It is not our fault, none of it. Men is good.
Lucifer: No, you don't understand. The earth is another form of hell, and men are its demons.
and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out;

he is the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience and he is in the spirit of those who inflict evil and injury upon people.
Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them.But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth.
Nothing can tame the tongue it is a restless evil full of deceit.
Do not be quick with your mouth nor hasty in your heart to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth so let your words be few.

By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of god so that the things which are seen were not made out of the things which are visible.
James shows that sin is like illicit intercourse. A seduction takes place, our yielding to sin conceives a child within us, as it were. The "child's" name is death. Death is the final result of sin in our lives, some time later--it can show up as boredom, loneliness, guilt, emptiness, frustration and despair.(portals of entry for sin)
Now the works of the flesh are plain: fornication, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, anger, selfishness, dissension, party spirit, envy, drunkenness, carousing, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Galatians 5:19-21)
The spirit of a man is the lamp of the lord searching all of the inner depths of his heart.
By the word of the lord the heavens were made, and all the hosts of them by the breath of his mouth.
