Who has more control of our thinking; God or Satan?

It's not both. It's necessary. However, Adam and Eve had their choice. They made it by being deceived by Satan. However, with that said, it was also necessary for Adam and Eve to fulfill the other commandment to multiply and replentish the earth. Eve was perceptive enough to understand that and want that. Adam followed If they didn't partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, they wouldn't have known good or evil. So, did Adam and Eve sin? The Bible says transgression, not sin. Therefore, the fall was necessary, but not a happy sin since it wasn't a sin.

 

There is one Godhead and one Satan. Christians follow the Godhead, not Satan. Remember, after Adam and Eve partook of the fruit of knowledge of good and evil, Satan was banished from their presence in the Garden. The Godhead then married Adam and Eve, gave them instructions while in the world outside the Garden. They received laws and commandments to follow and instructions on how to resist Satan's teachings and to remain faithful to the Godhead (Father, Son and Holy Ghost). So, you are wrong that Christians follow Satan or a follower of Satan. Let me remind you of this statement of mine from the last post, "The Bible says transgression, not sin. Therefore, the fall was necessary, but not a happy sin since it wasn't a sin." You may be able to fool some of the people some of the time, but not me.

Concerning homophobia and the rest of liberalisms obsession with President Trump. The Godhead has given us the laws of this Universe we reside in. One of them is not to participate in homosexual acts or behaviors. Christians therefore reject and hate the sin of homosexual acts and behaviors but not the person.

 

I agree with your conclusion, but not with your thinking.

A & E had no free will as they had no knowledge of the choices within the tree of knowledge of everything. Not to mention the power of deception that flowed from god to Satan to the talking serpent, that eve could not resist.

You are bang on on the reproduction angle. No tree of knowledge of sex = no sex or reproduction.

Jews think as we do on this while Christians turn a blessing into a curse. Jews, Gnostic Christians and many other left wing Christian sects see Eden as the place of humankinds elevation and not our fall.

Then stop punishing the person instead of the sin.
