[1 Adam and Eve 18:4] — "O Adam, because of you and of Eve, I am slippery, and go on my belly." Then with its great strength, it threw down Adam and Eve and squeezed them, and tried to kill them.

These two tactics originated from the Serpent called Satan, Devil:

1. Blame others for your bad condition or blame another person for your misfortune: — The Serpent here blamed Adam and Eve for his misery and condition that came upon him as curse for his past evil character of telling lies, deception and ruining things. The Serpent was not blaming himself as remorse to repent, instead the Serpent blamed Adam and Eve even when Adam had absolutely nothing to do with the Serpent being Slippery, creepy and crawling on belly.

Don't we have bunches of human beings everywhere that are looking for who to heap blames and accusations on for their sufferings, pains, failures, misfortunes or miseries, even when those things happened to them because of their evil and foolish ways in their past? They blame others except themselves.

2. Hate, attack or try to kill, others whom you blame/framed for your bad condition, misfortune, suffering or badluck: — It's like what people said about, "Calling a dog a bad name in order to hang it." The Devil began that way of using "Accuse" as substitute for "Excuse" to attack or kill both the guilty and the innocent people.

This is just to play prank to one's conscience by using accusing the person to satisfy your excusing your acts of attacking, envying, hating or gossipping, against him, her or them. Don't we have bunches of human beings everywhere that are hate or attack a particular tribe, race or ethnicity group of people, because they blame them for what few of their relations did in the past? They condemn both the righteous and wicked just because of the wicked among the righteous. Devilish.

In this verse of Adam was when "The Serpent became Satan and Devil" full time. Do not forget this, he was first known as the Serpent when he was subtle, cunning, crafty or deceitful. But he was neither Satan nor Devil when he was just the Serpent. So Serpent was his first name, then later he became called Satan or Devil. As it is written,

[Revelation 12:9 GW] — "The huge serpent was thrown down. That ancient snake, named Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world, was thrown down to earth. Its angels were thrown down with it."

Before I continue on what qualified him for these names, I want to knock off an erroneous teaching/preaching. In that sermon, the man of God taught, saying, when God questioned Adam, Adam blamed Eve; and when God questioned Eve, Eve blamed the Serpent; and because the Serpent did not shift blame to anyone, the Serpent therefore had the Dominion. Meaning shifting blame was shifting Dominion: the one who kept the blame on himself was bearing the responsibility and therefore was the one who kept the Dominion.

While I understand and agree with his building men who bear their own responsibilities without shifting blames to others, I found two errors in his endorsing the Serpent as qualified for the Dominion because according to him the Serpent did not shift blame to anyone but bore the responsibility or curse for his deed.

1. It's an error to award Dominion (Kingdom) to the one Convicted or Guilty or Blamable. Admitting your blame means you are disqualified from the Kingdom or Dominion: Why should you be the Convict or Guilty as charged and then because you bear the responsibility then the Dominion or Kingdom will be added to you?

2. It's an error to say the Serpent did not blame anyone else, because the Serpent became Satan for blame or accusing others. Notice God was asking the others because God knew they had just reason to blame. But God did not ask the Serpent nor waited to hear the Serpent's defense because the Serpent had no one to blame but would still blame either God or the humans. E.g. when God spoke about Job to Satan, Satan blamed God for doing good things for Job.

* The name "Satan" in Hebrew means "Accuser, Opposer, Adversary, Anti-Christ, Anti-God, Anti-Good, Evil-One" — You don't have to be guilty or bad before he accuses or opposes you: for he accuses or opposes even good things, innocent people, faultless. Satan "opposes."

The Dominion (Kingdom) did not come because Satan did not blame others; rather the Dominion (Kingdom) came because Satan who blame others was thrown out for Dominion to come:

[Revelation 12:10] — "And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of His Christ. For the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down— he who accuses them day and night before our God."

Like Satan, there are people who would always oppose whatever you do both good and bad. They are satanic in nature.

* The name "Devil" is the Greek version or translation of the name "Satan." Devil means the same thing Satan means, but Satan is Hebrew term while Devil is Greek term.

Hebrew also has the use of "Devils" to mean "Demons" or "unclean spirits" in Hebrew, e.g. casting out devils means casting out demons in Hebrew. But that's "devils" with "s" as in plural, not Devil as in singular. This is the reason why you may not find the word "Devil" in the entire "Old Testament" of the Bible, but you find "Devils" there, because the Old Testament was translated directly from Hebrew. But in the New Testament, you may begin to see the use of "Devil" or "The Devil" which is the Greek word for Satan; because the New Testament was translated from the Greek, not necessarily from Hebrew, unlike the old testament. E.g.
