I can read genez. You are welcome to declare that your sin is not of the devil like everyone else's.

My sin, is MY sin. Jesus died for MY sins.
Satan had nothing in Him.Did the devil get inside Jesus when he was tempted of him?
True for the child of God. Not true for the devil that tempts. Blanket statements do not apply.
Satan had nothing in Him.
as to 'each man's lust' if the tempter brings lust to the body/mind, AND THE TEMPTER DOES BRING LUST to bear, it is that person's lust to deal and contend with, not someone else's.
There is still no disconnect between lust and the lust bringer, the tempter. Temptation is every bit the sin of the devil. Evil thoughts are evil and they are defiling no matter 'who' takes ownership or however brief they are.
James understood these matters as well as any Apostle:
James 3:
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Resist satan and he will flee.
Sorry I can't connect you commentary with your quote.Christians keep arguing the point that the law does not exist under this 'new dispensation' of faith and grace but is that so? Is it really new?
8Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed unto them also:
12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he had being yet uncircumcised.
Does this not show that the same faith and grace was with the law? Being with the circumcised as well as with the uncircumcised before Jesus came?
13For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Now there's a good question for him. Excellent!!!!My sin, is MY sin. Jesus died for MY sins.
James 1:14
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. (not the devil's)
once again... you never answer the real question.
Matthew 4:1Did the devil get inside Jesus when he was tempted of him?
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
Now there's a good question for him. Excellent!!!!
Stick around to see the context.
James 44 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.The baby church in Jerusalem was in disarray because the unbeliever Jews were persecuting the believers. Their businesses were being boycotted and the members of the church were beginning to get on each others case because of the pressure. The demonic realm was working on this isolated church, trying to get it to implode.
4 You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:
“God opposes the proud
but shows favor to the humble.”
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
James was telling them to resist the lies of the devil and turn to God for his grace to over come. This passage is not dealing with personal sins as much as the temptation to sin when placed under a corporate pressure that could throw an entire group into an irrational state of panic.
The problem Squint has, is to think that Satan can be everywhere on earth and be one in the actual experiencing of the sins of millions of believers at the same time. When you sin? Does the devil jump in and experience it with you? Squint's answer? "Do the math." He says, yes! That is a weird distortion on the meaning of being 'of' the devil when we sin. Being of the devil refers to what camp and uniform we wear while in a state of sin.
Those who sin are 'of' the devil? Squint has reworded it to read that those who sin are sinning with the devil in their sin. That the devil joins you in your sin. Squint assumes that means that the devil shares with the believer a form of spiritual intercourse in the sinning experience. He also will not address this: The Devil can only be in one location at a time. Therefore, Squint's distortion of what is said is an impossibility. For millions of believers all over the planet commit sins at different times, and different places. Satan is not omnipresent. Your citation from James was an isolated are of one church.
Already addressed by The Word. Too bad you guys can't read.
My general observation is that there is a lot of dodging and excusing of every persons sin by every measure available.
I quit playing that religious game. Jesus is nobody's fool.

You never gave a *straight* answer. You only did if I were a mind reader. You're getting exposed slowly but surely. Keep it up. Here's the rope. There is a nice tree over yonder.
If you think I haven't heard everyone's excuse for their sins of the devil you'd be wrong.
Satan can put 12,000 devils in a single man. Satan and his anti-Christ spirits being intimately linked to ALL SIN in everyone is not an issue, except within those who provide cover and excuses for same. ding on y'all.

If you think I'm interested in hearing anyone justify their sin which is of the devil, you'd be very wrong.
Believers are all over the world and do not need any help from demons in order to sin. You act as if there were no demons nobody would sin.
I don't care how BIG you write it, your end times guesswork is false.Again I will tell you.. Satan will be locked up for one thousand years during the Millennium. People will be sinning. You are failing math.
I don't care how BIG you write it, your end times guesswork is false.
He won't touch it. He'll try to find something else in my post to address.
