	I looked at the Romans 8:5-15 reference - nothing there to prove the
   original assertion that "Our thoughts come from 3 sources: evil
   spirits, good spirits and ourselves" !!!

	There was ABSOLUTELY nothing about thoughts being inserted into our
   heads with no free will on our part !!!

From the canonical hour of Compline:

	Fratres, sobrii estote et vigilate.  Quia adversarius vester
	diabolas, tamquam leo rugiens circuit quaerens quem devoret, cui
	resistite fortes in fide.

	Brethren, be sober and watch.  For your adversary the devil goes
	about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, whom do you
	resist, strong in faith.

How does the Devil tempt people?
