Like God is a gentleman and does not force His will on people to love Him .................. Where if you deliver a person of an unclean spirit then in a short time there will be seven more demons on the spirit space of that person, from Matthew 12 :43-45
Not strange at all since the Satan you refer to is our "inner Serpent" (reptilian brain) that is entirely motivated by survival, pleasure-seeking, and pain avoidance with no other consideration. It is our immature and growing Spirit that must learn to discriminate for it and control our responses to its urgings.
You don't have to teach a child to lie, you have to teach to tell the truth.
The lying comes naturally, as does all other sins.
Yes sir that is very true. Have you ever thought about the application of that to Adam and Eve? It was exactly opposite! Their natural inclination was to keep free from sin, they had to literally choose to disobey. Interesting huh?
If one is never exposed to the true God they are exempt. One must reject the spirit of life in order to serve Satan and be a sinner.
Actually I agree with you Free, and there is no doubt in my mind those of them who have died will certainly receive a resurrection, however when Jesus returns, everyone will have been given the opportunity to choose, to God's satisfaction anyway Mat 24:14; 2 Thes 1:6-9
Even the most righteous die in the flesh but their spirit lives on.
“The LORD is near to everyone who calls upon Him, who calls upon Him in truth.” (OT) Psalms?
No sir, nothing lives on at death. It was satan who stated you will not die, Jehovah on the other hand made it clear that you will die. I believe Him sir. And the Bible does not leave you ignorant as to what death is either.

Adversity is a principle that results in active resistance, opposition, or contentiousness within the human nature. And the Hebrew term for Satan merely describes an adversarial role (an adversary). Whereas, an accuser (slanderer, devil) is known for his unrighteous disposition. However, the principalities and powers of unholy (human) messengers, had inculcated the doctrines of demons, devils and Satan in the early views of men; falsely fostering and prospering them. Truth becomes known, when deception falls away (that of self-induced blindness). Christ denounced these doctrines and traditions of men within the Spirit of truth, as the ego driven desires are within men, resist them.
Those who live according to the human nature have their mind set on what their nature desires, but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their mind set on what the Spirit wants: Along came the tempter; the lust of the eyes (understanding of the mind), lust of the flesh (a heart of emotion) and the pride of life (the desires of the will). Thus, while the first Adam conceded to all that is in the world (that which extends deep down from the surface - yet, is visible through distinctive traits or characteristics common to all humanity); the second Adam stood his ground against the natural disposition of the soul, and the temperament within that of other men.
