Satan is different from Adam in that, being a spirit weithout a body, he cannot be tempted.

Are you just making this up as you go along?

If Satan "could not be tempted" how did Satan fall?

Is not disobedience a "temptation" to assert one's own will over God?

No, but I think you are. Who tempted Satan? God doesn't tempt.

Pride.

Disobedience is an act of free will, a refusal to comply.
