Freewill, but Satan is more than willing to help.

Satan is a Christian invention.So being tempted by something that some one made up to demonize your God (The Horned God) would hardly make sense.That is like accusing a Wiccan of being a Satanist(who,by the way,do NOT worship the DEVIL!).Why would a Wiccan worship an entity they DON'T believe in?Just because you are not Christian,does not mean you are straying from God.If you still believe in a God ,does it really matter what name you call him by?

It is a mix of both. Your own free will strays away from God, but Satan leads you on to continue that way.

God wouldn't call you into a relationship and then push you away. On the other hand, Satan as we believe him to be, would lure us away with temptations. But, it is us that chooses to stray or stay. It's our choice.

It s always your choice.
Free Will.
No matter what anyone says,
You always have a choice., and even if you do stray, all it takes is for you to feel his love within you again and admit it to yourself and Him ONLY.
Not to the church, not a preist , Jesus said " I am the way and the light" NOT the " bible is the way . and the church the light."
Those whom do not accept you r truth of your connection with god, are the Hyprocrites, and there are ALOT of them.
One man can have More faith by not going to church and prooving he has faith, then all those combined who do.
For the man whom walks his own peacefull path, is Confident enough to KNOW that he has Gods love. Without having said so by anyone else, nor caring what others judge to be.
That is Faith.

You might find this hard to believe, but Satan could not give two hoots about you or anyone. He does not have to concern himself with you for if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, then God turns you over to him as He did with Job.
We make our own decisions in this life. If we become Christian, we stay Christian. We are a new creation in Jesus Christ when we accept Him. This does not mean that you will have part in the first Resurrection if you continue to sin till you die. You have to go through the Millennium Reign.

People do what they choose to do. Sometimes they use religion for an excuse, but it is ultimately their own decisions. I can't understand why some people always try to blame their problems on god or satan, or some other person. Take responsibility for yourself and stop blaming others for you own short comings.

Absouletly not. However, mthe Bible is clear that Jesus said that one cannot serve 2 masters. I firmly believe that strying away initially puts one in a spiritual abyss. A place where you are considered "lukewarm." There you are left to spiritually "rot by the side of the road." You are of no concern to the evil one because you lack of conviction renders you a "no count' Take this advice...Stick with God. Let him become your shepard. Peace be with you.

Satan is always at work trying to pull the promised ones away from Our Father. Pray to Jesus that He protect you from all that is evil, then God will not allow you be lost.

It is your choice to follow Satan's lead.

You choose to turn from God. Satan will put stumbling blocks in your way, but ultimately it is your choice whom you serve.
