Sure the power of christ rests upon man but that doesn't contradict what I said about gnosticism believing the serpent to be Jesus.Romans 8:10-20 i can name numerous verses that says christ lives within you.
The devil, if real, could manipulate people into sinning but he can't out-right control you and force you to do it. At best you can be possessed like the movie exorcist but that's it, it would be very rare and isnt what causes people to do evil.Let me get this straight you believe in the abrahamic God but don't believe their are forces controlling people to do wicked things?
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12
Also yes the star-wars stuff was said by someone on Reddit, I apologise if this belief is not actually from gnosticism and only from a few lunatics
I know about that, I believe free-will is real but requires you to 'think harder' to have access to or else you will 'go with the flow' of your animal brain. I guess you can argue that, if my belief on free-will's true, people are sort-of 'soul-less' since most people including me some time ago just follow what their brain asks and don't fight back against it, but that doesnt mean the extreme notion that 6 billion people have no life and are brainless 'things' because I act and behave the same as most people yet I am aware of who I am, see clearly and process the stuff I am seeing and thinkWhy do you think people ask the question "do you think humans have free will or do you believe in fate"
