Tammy,
In my opinion, the AV is not Satan, but it IS a result of the FALL and our corrupted 'sinful' nature. Paul very clearly parallels AVRT when he describes our 'Flesh Nature' and separates it from our 'Spiritual Nature'. Secular terminology often uses Lower Consciousness and Higher Consciousness. Paul very clearly describes his personal realization of this in Romans 7:15-25.
I do believe however, that if we let our 'Flesh Nature' have complete control, Satan certainly then does have dominion over us.
Thanks for the Post
