The devil is like the DA, only he job is not only to prove why we are inadequate, he tries to make us even more inadequate by luring us to sin, that is why he was in the garden of eden. Unfortunately for him we just have to trust our defense attorney (Jesus) and the devil will loose every case. Just like real life if you don't "pay" your lawyer, they won't work for you. Even if their dad is the judge.

This guy's questions are really entertaining (seriously). He is actually quite clever and knowledgeable, and yet he exposes just how ignorant most are about the bible.
Anyway, this is what the bible actually says about what God did after the sins in Eden:
(Genesis 3:23-24) . . .Jehovah God put him out of the garden of E´den to cultivate the ground from which he had been taken. 24 And so he drove the man out
Notice that only Adam is specifically mentioned as being driven out of Eden, but its strongly implied that Eve was also driven out and Satan as well at the same time. We know for sure that Eve was out since the bible mentions here with Adam outside.
But notice too what God did at the entrance to Eden:
(Genesis 3:24) And so he drove the man out and posted at the east of the garden of E´den the cherubs and the flaming blade of a sword that was turning itself continually to guard the way
Why would God need to put TWO powerful angels at the entrance when a simple thing like a giant rock would have kept out two little humans like Adam and Eve? Obviously these two angels were keeping Satan out of Eden, which is why there were two of them.
Again, thanks for the question. Interesting and fun!

According to the Bible, Satan is in heaven with God; It is not what they call "paradise" - but it is where the Father and the Son are;
The Father has work yet for Satan to do; when its time, Michael will boot him out of heaven and down to earth. Many People will be deceived thinking it is Christ.
When the true Christ returns, Satan will be locked up for 1000 years, a period of teaching for those that didn't have a prayer of a chance to hear truth in the flesh; When the 1000 years are over, satan is loosed a small time, to deceive those who still, even after learning the truth, wish to rebell again with Satan.
The whole bunch will be blotted out of existance; satan will turn to ashes from within. Thats it. He is there because he has a negative part of Gods plan to fulfill.

Satan was not thrown down and confined to the earth until much later.
Satan is a spirit creature just like angels, demons and God. (that's why we can't see him). Thus he could pass between Heaven and Earth pretty much as he pleased.
If you look at Job 1:6, 7 it says "Now it came to be the day when the sons of the true God entered to take their station before Jehovah, and even Satan proceeded to enter right among them.
Then Jehovah said to Satan: 'Where do you come from?' At that Satan answered Jehovah and said: 'From roving about in the earth and from walking about in it.'"
Satan was in the Garden of Eden because he wanted the worship of Adam and Eve--not because God banished him to earth.

He wasn't in paradise, he was in the Garden of Eden. And the show isn't over, yet, keep watching...it gets better and by the end, your question will be fully answered.

He had to let Satan come to earth for us to have the power to choose who we will serve--God or Satan. He has a purpose and plan for all our lives and all things are in His hands.

he didn't go to paradise after he fell. he went to earth. the only paradise is heaven. he was being punished by going to earth. now he spends his days tempting people and making them turn from God. but after the second coming of Jesus, Satan will be thrown in a lake of fire forever.

Because, in all works of fiction, there needs to be an anti-hero.
He was in Paradise because this was AFTER he and God made the deal that they could both vie for our souls in an eternal match of tug of war... Nice to now this All Loving God thinks nothing more of us than chess pieces in a match.....

Was Satan really Zeus aka Adam and was Venus really Eve aka Isis?
Jeremiah 1- Prophecy Part 3… Heads of “Zeus/Nike” abound on buildings in D.C. Isis is in grid layouts and in bas-relief sculptures of Greek and Roman gods and goddesses from one end of town to the other. The ancient story unfolds of Satan’s first child (first-born Cain) and his first Great Eagle Goddess, who was “Eve” (Isis). This Isis “Queen of Egypt” is the worshipped Madonna with Child (Isis and Osiris) for today’s German/Roman Catholics and others.
So as you see from the statement above, Satan’s first child is Cain, which means Satan is Adam who was Zeus. And Eve (Venus) was Isis the Madonna and Child.
Was Zeus was Satan?
We can find original text written in Greek, Latin as well as Hebrew. The Greek alphabet was assigned numerical values (The X gives the Z sound of Xylophone) X (=Chi) 600; Xi (shaped like a curled capital E) 60 and S (Sigma) 6. (Although Sigma is no longer used, it was) Thus 600, 60 and 6 spells XES, the Greek spelling for Zeus. In the KJV translation - where the name of the prophet Elisha (meaning 'My God is Saviour') has been retained in the paganised form 'Eliseus' (My god is Zeus). In similar fashion, the Name of the Hebrew Messiah YAHU'SHUAH (meaning 'YAHU is Saviour') has been paganised to read 'JeZeus', ('God is Zeus') which later became 'Jesus' in the English language (pronounced 'Jezus').
600 (X), 60 (Xi,=E), 6 (S) the number of his name, clearly spells XES the original Greek spelling for ZEUS.
Was Venus Eve?
Jeremiah 44:17 (NIV) "We will certainly do everything we said we would: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and will pour out drink offerings to her just as we and our fathers, our kings and our officials did in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and were well off and suffered no harm." …And there are those who claim that it's referring to Venus, Asherah, Ashtoreth, Ishtar, or Isis. They are all the same person. Venus is equivalent to the Egyptian Goddess Isis, the Phoenician Astarte and the Babylonian Ishtar. Venus is known as the Daughter of Heaven and Sea (Creation)
If Isis the Madonna and Child was Eve, then Eve was Venus.
And I think it’s about high time she was forgiven for eating that apple!
If you asked me Satan aka Adam lied and it was he who was the evil one.
