Poll: Are there spirits of sin influencing humanity?

[OP_Carl]

I'd like to poll my mor learned preacher and pastor brethren.

Are there spirits in this world that influence sinners in their sin?

For instance, is there a spirit of gambling? A spirit of alcoholism? A spirit of gossiping? A spirit of homosexuality?

I've always wondered why that happens??


Sorry,

Back to the poll.

I believe that "when lust is conceived it bringeth forth sin and when sin is finished it bringeth forth death."

In that I believe that you have both working - your carnal nature and spirits that lead and entrap you to go further.

The devil is a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. That means that he is looking for a weakness. So, it starts in the heart of man and the enemy begins to move in to influence you more.

I do not believe in specific spirits. I do believe that spirits can bind people to their sins. I do believe that most peoples sins are because of the lust of their flesh, when it is conceived, it brings forth sin.
It is unnerving that pentecostals are quick to blame everything on a spirit. It allows for people not to take self responsibility.
