We believe that the devil can tempt us. This would seem to mean that the devil can put thoughts into people’s minds or interfere with people’s thought process. Is this true? Can the devil also affect people’s will?
The devil doesn’t need to interfere with our thought processes, our human weakness and our free choice to sin or not to sin, are what may lead to sin (to choosing against love and goodness).
