The devil is not a cause of sin, he can do not influence by persuasion, or by proposing the object of appetite.

A man's will alone is directly the cause of his sin.


• Temptation, not causation:
The devil can present temptations and suggestions, but he cannot directly cause someone to sin. 

• Human freedom:
Humans have free will and are responsible for their own choices, including the choice to resist temptation. 

• Indirect influence:
While not directly causing sin, the devil can indirectly contribute to sin by creating situations or offering enticing suggestions that exploit our existing weaknesses
