Take something God made to be good and turn it against you. Or take something God said was bad for you and make you think it is good for you. here is this wonderful coccaine or meth that will give you all you ever hoped for and make you wise beyond what you ever thought of being and will give you things you never thought were possible. Little error with lots of truth mixed in. It will make you wise, if you live through the effects of it long enough. It will give you things you never thought you could get, like some really deadly diseases, lots of good jail time, the backstreets and alleys to sleep in. Little error mixed in with lots of truth.
What are the effects and would you really want it if there was just a little error? how is this for an example?
I will make you some really nice brownies with all the chocolate you want in it and they will be baked to perfection and will tease the eyes and smell wonderful. Oh, and by the way did I tell you I only put a little bit of what the dog left from his trip outside, you know the pile of feces he left behind, all fresh and good, into the brownies you will eat. Just a little so it won't make any difference. Sound appetizing? Now do you see how Satan tempts people?

For a deeply insightful treatment of that subject that is very easy to read, read The Screwtape Letters. It's a series of letters exchanged between an old experienced devil and a young devil being trained in the art of temptation. It reveals many of the subtle tricks the devil uses in tempting us.

If you think small, sometimes you get caught cheating on a test and that's a way satan can tempt you into him.

If Satan is a creation of man to use as an excuse for their own actions. Make people do...No! Their made up excuse for their actions...Absolutely!
If you don't believe in Satan, he believes in you!!!
Keep that excuse and "out" for YOUR actions always at the ready! You are not at fault! Not ever!
Yeah Right!

Satans are invisible to our eyes, they can enter our body when ever they like without us knowing it. They will whisper into our ears and heart to do the evil.

By telling them ,like nobody will ever know if you do this , or it's just a little white lie. A lie is a lie no matter what and as for nobody knowing that you did something that was wrong, you do and God always knows when we do things wrong(SIN).

We are tempted when we are drawn away by our own lusts, and enticed.

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
