RE: The Implausibility of Satan

I would add to the questions below the question of the origin of sin.

Where did sin begin and how did it enter the world?

According to the NT, sin entered the world as the result of Adam's disobedience. But according to the same NT, the serpent in the Garden that tempted Eve was Satan in disguise. Was Satan not a sinner prior to Adam's disobedience?

If Satan was a sinner prior to creation then where did his sin originate? In heaven? How can that be with a glorified God? How could sin originate in the very presence of God?
