The Bible is definitely clear that desires can become God, and many prominent people in our society have sided with Satan knowingly. They willfully serve him in order to make their desires a reality. Yet some of us everyday people don't realize that's what we are doing. I talk about a lot of these issues on my channel but I just recently talked about this specific one here in this video, check it out:
~;> according to this writtings
there is a different tale unto that so called
becoming gods
so if we may say so
you could observe the writtings in this letters that we will share unto you
as it is written

A beautiful but
mute animal crossed her path, ascended the tree of knowledge, and plucked
1. He spoke to her; desired her to taste the same fruit which had opened
his mind; and when, at length, having overcome her first astonishment, she refused, on the plea that God had forbidden her to touch it, he said unto her, "
Yea! hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?"
If such should appear to have been the nature of the temptation which assailed Eve, who shall deny, that it was the most powerful which could be presented to the human mind? A mute and irrational creature, having tasted the fruit of this forbidden tree, became gifted with speech and reason; and how surpassing must be the knowledge which
they would acquire by following the same course! Well, then, might she believe "
that they would be as gods, knowing good and evil."
Such an interpretation of the temptation of Eve appears not only the most reasonable which can be offered to our belief, but it is, probably, the most correct, from the very language of the Scripture which describes the Fall. The third
1. They are called
seraphim, from a root which signifies "
to burn." "The angels of the presence" were also called
seraphim, from a similar glorious appearance
2. The advocates of this opinion suppose that Eve took the serpent-tempter for one of these heavenly messengers, come down to enlighten her; "for she was not so simple as to think that beasts could speak

1." The
seraphimof the wilderness are proved by Bochart to have been the same as those called in Isaiah (xix. 29. and xxx. 6), "fiery
flying serpents." Whether the epithet "
flying" was a metaphor for
velocity, or whether it meant that these creatures had actually
wings, is uncertain; it is certain, however, that tradition had invested both the
celestial
p. 21
and
terrestrial seraphim with wings: and hence the notion that the Paradisiacal serpent was a "winged" creature. Hence, also, the poetical fiction of
winged dragons, as guardians of treasure and protectors of female innocence. For, singularly enough, the malevolent actions of the Paradisiacal serpent had a colouring given by heathen mythologists diametrically opposite to the reality. The
seducer of Eve is thus perversely termed the
protector of maiden virtue; and the tempter, who induced her to
pluck the forbidden fruit, is the
guardian of the
golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides. So powerful is "the Prince of this World" to delude his victims!
