Featured Are evil thoughts of humans attributed to demons?

No. If Satan and every demon was removed from the earth we would still sin; we would still battle evil desires. The problem is our own sinful lusts, not demonic influence.

There are rare cases of evil acts being the work of demons, but for the most part, as the other posters said, it is our own evil desires, that bring about sin. It is sort of a birthday gift from Adam.

I have definite thoughts about evil thoughts and desires. If we immediately dismiss them, and do not rerun them in our mind or act on them, it is not a sin. I suppose it is like driving down the road and seeing a young woman in short shorts strutting down the sidewalk. If one drives by and thinks nothing else about it, then it is not a sin. If one looks in their rearview mirror and drives around the block for a second look, it becomes sin.

 

Demons are at work. There is no dispute about that; but not every sinful/evil act is attributed to demonic influence.

 

Hmmmm. Who was it that planted the evil in Judas's heart? Who was the lying spirit in the OT sent from God to deceive through the mouths of the false prophets (1 Kings 22)?

But we have one here that believes God is Satan and that Satan is man which means God is both. I wonder if it means we are both as well? :sleep:

I bet it gets even more wacky than this if all saids beliefs were divulged. :wavey:

 

not a birthday gift--it was in adam before he fell--those desires was there before the fall or he would NOT have desired to do the evil in the first place.

it is in us in like manner at our birth as it was in adam when he was created.

Before others say im saying God created adam in a fallen state--I am NOT

I am saying that just because the evil desires are present---that doesn't mean that we sin--if we act upon those desires--then we Sin

Adam plainly had that desire within himself to do that evil---and he acted upon it---we are the same way also---adam had desires to sin before the fall--he had the same desires after the fall--as we do also.

the only difference is adam just had 1 thing NOT to do that he desired to do.

After the fall he knew good and evil and his eyes were opened to more knowledge than he had before--also brought more desires to do of that that was evil .

 

The gift that we really did receive from adam was that men were made sinners through adam and because of adam's sin--DEATH passed upon man.

These are the true gift's men received through adam :flower::flower:

 

The thought (temptation) to sin begins in the human mind and heart. Satan and/or demons may present a temptation (Matthew 4), but the individual is responsible for how he responds to the temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13).

 

well you believe that some fallen angelic being named Satan is the cause of the havoc on mankind.

I believe that Man was the cause for his own fall---and therefore Adam did have the desire to do that evil before the serpent event---because Adam was the Serpent himself--:flower::flower::flower:

 

I'll answer this ? for him......nope........
