You quoted: And I asked him the question, “What is your belief about God?” and he answered, “I believe I will be a god someday.”

Genesis 3
1. Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God really say, `You must not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
2. The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
3. but God did say, `You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.'"
4. "You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman.
5. "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."


As usual, you stopped to soon, God said in Genesis 3:22
22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Yes, Satan told Eve she could be like God, knowing Good from evil, and he actually told the truth (Dang! you just can't count on him to even LIE reliably.)

‘To know good and evil’ is a VERY small subset of the larger - ‘to be like GOD’.

Satan DID lie!

Are you a descendant of Adam&Eve?
Are YOU like GOD now?
