I •Al people have an original mind, which

inclines them to reject evil and pursue
goodness.

are driven by evil forces to perform evil deeds,

•In Christianity, the master of these evil forces is

Satan because we have not understood Satan's identitv

James 1:13-15 "Let no one say when he is

tempted, "I am tempted by God"; for God
I cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He
Himself tempt anyone. But each person is
tempted when he is lured and enticed by his

conceived gives birth to sin; and sin when it

When Adam fell, God blocked his path to the tree
of life by placing the cherubim with the flaming
