Interesting Ive never heard any one say that Satan is the cause of sin that is common to man before.
Everyday life causes enough testing and trials without Satan throwing petrol on the fire in my humble opinion.
Disagree, Eve's eyes and Adam's eyes were not opened after Eve ate of the fruit, they were opened after Adam ate of the fruit, as Adam was commanded not to eat of the tree, then after Adam disobeyed God's Word and ate they saw that they were naked.
Rom 5:12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned
I may have another look, I only had a skim, the introduction starts like this though which indicates the angelic host are not part of our creation and before it.
"The Angelic Conflict began before human history and is the reason for the creation of mankind. It is a conflict that is in full force today. This conflict explains the small personal problems in life as well as the major events that take place throughout all of human history. Although most individuals are ignorant of this conflict (including many Christians), the Angelic Conflict affects all aspects of our lives."
On pg 72 is one of the places that seems to indicate that the angels fall introduced sin into the world. Which if you disagree with then we are in agreeance that its wrong. Yet a red flag was that the fall even affected the trinity? I don't know if I want to know where they go with that, I am trying to pretend I didn't read things like that.
"One final question that should be asked is why a holy and righteous God, who is all knowing and all powerful, would allow this angelic fall? This fall introduced sin into the universe, affecting angels as well as human beings, not to mention its affect upon the Trinity. To answer this, we simply need to realize that God is perfect."
Anyway its big book, and Im half way through another book, with another book given to me by a fellow church member that I have to read and get back to him about. But if I can spare time ill have more of look.
