Satan's primary means of deception, according to the Bible, is to lie or misrepresent the words of others. I agree that there are numerous problems with this, not the least of which is that his very first "lie" wasn't a lie. But his methods of deceiving people are pretty much the same as what people do. Hey, it works. Look at religion.
Right, that's interesting. The first lie in the Bible was told by God: "the day you eat thereof you shall surely die." Oh no they didn't
Before they ate they were immortal beings who were slated to live forever. Their immortal life ended that day, and Adam's outside of the garden life began that day. He died to God and was reborn unto sin. The moment he ate his immortality died, and the clock on his mortal life began.
