When we see it as a part of God's solution to the complex problem of Adam's sin
im sure eve 'sinned' also.
just reading the 'knowledge that leads to everlasting life' book.
Yes, the Devil is a malicious "manslayer". The Bible reveals that he is a real person, not just the evil in someone's heart. (Matthew 4:1-11) Although created as a righteous angel, "he did not stand fast in the truth." How fitting it is that he is named Satan the Devil! (Revelation 12:9) He is called "Satan" or "resister", because he has opposed and resisted Jehovah. This criminal is also called "Devil", meaning "slanderer", for he has blasphemously misprepresented God. Since Satan knows that his time is short, he will do all he can to vent his wrath on those who want to keep integrity to God (Revelation 12:12)
if Satan KNOWS his time is short and had the inmense power to ruin Adam and Eves perfection how can jw's confidently say that the King Jesus Christ will take action against Satan and all who follow him. the devils not exactly a pushover is he. maybe Jehovah has realised this hence the date for Armageddon keeps changing.
