   Wrong. When anything has been granted and give free will, they can do   
   anything they want.   
   Jesus, who lived on earth as a man, was tempted in all ways like a man. Yet   
   He did not sin.   
   Jesus inherited all the genetics of his forefathers, plus the degradation   
   that occurred in them down through history. Yet He did not sin.   
      
   Even the modern man who has been Born Again and walks fully in the Spirit,   
   shall not sin.   
      
   Gal 5:16-25   
      
   16This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of   
   the flesh.   
      
   17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the   
   flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the   
   things that ye would.   
      
   18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.   
      
   19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery,   
   fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,   
      
   20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife,   
   seditions, heresies,   
      
   21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I   
   tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do   
   such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.   
      
   22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering,   
   gentleness, goodness, faith,   
      
   23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.   
      
   24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections   
   and lusts.   
      
   25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.   
      
   And this is for the modern man as well as those during the times of the   
   Apostles.

   That is the doctrine of demons.   
   Don't forget Lucifer, the highest of the ArchAngels, sinned. Him and the host   
   of angels who followed him, thus sinning also, were tossed out of Heaven and   
   their home is in the pit of Sheol.

   That is another doctrine of demons, and of the spirit of antichrist.   
      
   From this others can see your conflict with the word of God, and know that   
   everyone who spouts such filth is not a "true Christian" a phrase which you,   
   the mormons, the RCC and the G. Orthodox churches all claim to be.
