...’ the nature of human sin derives from the nature of the sin of the fallen angels’...what exactly does this mean?

How do you even know if your acquired intelligence is correct?

[Teófilo]

As I explained in the post, just as the primeval sin of the angels was one of pride, rebellion, and self-asserted autonomy over and against God, so was mankind’s original sin. Humanity - recapitulated in Adam - bough into the devil’s lie that we live and be happy outside the will of God. Hence Adam’s sin reflects the same attitude and course held by the fallen angels.

As in every war, good intelligence would make an enemy’s move more “predictable”, leading the combatants to prepare, react, and repulse the enemy. We don’t need to have “total intelligence” - that is, “total knowledge,” - but a picture that is good enough to repell and repulse the attack. That’s how I know I’ve got “good intelligence.”

Spiritual warfare is a lot like human warfare and in many times these overlap. One is a good analogy for the other, hence another example of the use of the “analogy of faith” to obtain limited knowledge, but still “good intelligence” about the enemy.

There is only one sin. Everything else is just a symptom of that sin.
