Are evil thoughts of humans attributed to demons?

[Iconoclast]

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:

That is not biblical teaching at all.

Can you back this statement up with scripture?

Men were called serpents in the new testament.

you can not back up some fallen angelic being named Satan being the serpent either---pure speculation.

That is not biblical teaching at all.

you mean that it is not a traditional teaching by most---as far as being biblical ---a fallen angelic being named Satan is not biblical also--its just a well known tradition handed down from the generations--scripture does support MEN as being serpents in the new testament--so from a biblical stand point I can base it on being a man.

all people here seem to use is the Dragon scripture in Revelation--which is symbolic language of an empire and its leaders.

Or the 2 texts in the OT--speaking of the king of Babylon and Tyre--which are MEN---scripture using figurative language once again in describing the judgement of God upon the 2 kings-their cities--and the cities round about them. not some double prophecy as some try to claim at all.

I hold to the WORD Satan being only a word which relates to Adversary--whether the adversary being men or God as the OT brings out.

Hey HisWitness,

Men were called serpents in the new testament.

Can you be more specific (are you referring to the Pharisees, Mt. 3:7)?

you can not back up some fallen angelic being named Satan being the serpent either---pure speculation.

"[T]hat ancient serpent" is called "the devil and Satan" in Revelation 12:9 (ESV).

Satan was a cherub, as we see in Ezekiel 28:16 (proving that he was an angel).
