Memnoch claims that Elohim appropriated his idea to deliver a divine child in his attempts to create his own religion and to further pamper his ego by being worshipped and idolized as a benevolent God.

Soon after this, Memnoch and all of the other angels who supported his ideologies were exiled from Heaven and relocated to an inferior plane of existence, more popularly known as Hell. However, before Memnoch could proceed with his plan, Elohim sent the archangel, Michael, to stop him. And since the child would be half human, Elohim would have no command over him, due to his vow never to meddle with their freewill. Thus, Memnoch planned to copulate with Eve, which would have resulted in the birth of a divine child who would usher in a new era of peace and prosperity and would be worshipped as a living god. Memnoch explained that after Elohim commanded the angels to never again interfere with his Creations, he became impatient with God to conciliate the ever-growing wars, violence and oppression in the world.

He claims that his seduction of Eve in the Garden of Eden was not to harm the human race, but to help them. Contrary to popular belief, Memnoch is not an entirely malevolent demon, but rather a misunderstood spirit whose actions, no matter how radical, are all for the benefit of humankind.
