i have read comments that say "the snare of the devil"
its more like
"the snare of your mind"
This ruiner of souls doesn't exist.
Its all in your mind.
Do you give into your mind? Or do you detach from your mind and rest in bliss with the spirit?
The devil is your own mind. Deal with it.
Stop trying to blame other beings for your own carnal actions and desires and motives and thoughts.
Here is some scripture from the bible proving this point. Just have to look at it with open eyes.
----------------------------------------------------------
“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.” Matthew 4:1
Then Jesus was led up by the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by his own minds attachments and desires

"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11
Put on the whole armor of God, live with the holy spirit, that you may be able to stand against the deceptions, illusions, and desires of your own carnal mind
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
Be Sober, Be vigilant, because your adversary YOUR OWN MIND attaches itself to worldly things, holding you in captivity, devouring your will to live with the spirit

“He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8
He who sins is of the carnal mind, for the carnal mind has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the carnal mind and bring about the works of the spirit.
