Re: [TruthTalk] Faith vs. Works

[GJTabor]

You asked (see below) if Satan had POWER over us when we sin.  I said no.  Satan cannot make Christians sin.  Satan tempting us and Satan having power over us is two different things as I see it.  Satan can tempt us, but according to James 1:14-15, we are the ones who give in to the temptation.  Satan cannot make Christians sin.  If anyone has a better understanding of this, let's hear it.  If anyone thinks Satan has power over Christians, let's hear it.

Izzy asks: If we are drawn away by our own lusts; doesn’t satan tempt us in the first place, or not? Or else how do we know which sins are a response to satan’s temptation, and which aren’t?

Sounds like Satan has the power over you.  I don't believe he does over me.
