Bible Question: Can Satan actually put(insert, plant)thoughts into our minds? or do evil thoughts come from within our own selves? |
Bible Answer: heseeshission: Good question! I am not so quick to give satan much credit. Lets take the responsibility ourselves. James the first chapter says we are the one in charge of our thoughts and desires, which is where sin starts, in our thoughts. I have wondered how many time satan has a kick out of beibg blamed for something he did not do. It is real easy to say I was tempted, or the devil made me do it. Hope this helps. justme |
