I totally agree. I’m currently fleeing sexual immorality and I think the enemy thought he had me trapped.

Been There, had that past now, when was still cursed in it, it was only then daily past< now past by God taking care of it, not me ever
it is a long walk off a short pier to see and learn new and grow into maturity over it all. Not being under Law anymore, now upholding Law as good, to see to only trust God to do it through you< taking no credit in self doing it. rather God for you through you doing it
i knew of a alcoholic, me that couldn’t stop it. I heard this one time.
i was asked I see you are having trouble stopping alcohol, you do Well, then you don’t, is that true with you? I said yes, I am trying!
then I got asked this:
‘which Jesus Christ do you believe in?
shocked, I replied there is only one Jesus, what?
and this I heard, I am asking you, which one
the one you are trying to imitate!
or the risen one that desires to live his risen life through you, will do so if you are willing are you?
yes, alcohol left the over drinking too much. Now not at all, do not even care for it, and am still not trouble free, not while here in this world
Then the thought(s) of sex, yet standing aware that they might not ever stop trying to enter in again as had in past
been, being made wise< remaining harmless in the process

● Mark 10:17-18 . . As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and
fell on his knees before him. Good teacher-- he asked --what must I do to
inherit eternal life? Jesus answered: Why do you call me good? No one is
good except God alone.

* Luke adds that this man was a ruler (Luke 18:18) which could've been a
political position but I rather think it was a religious position (e.g. John 3:1)
which, if so, would mean the man was a Jew; and not just a common Jew
but one that was an Old Testament expert.

Anyway, that passage is often perceived as a disclaimer, but I think there
was something going on in that incident that doesn't readily meet the eye.

If the ruler was a Jew, then his religion was based upon Moses, the
Prophets, and the Psalms. Now; in that religion, there are no good men.

● Gen 6:5 . . And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil
continually.

● Isa 53:6 . . All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one
to his own way

● Ps 14:2-3 . . The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men,
to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all
gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth
good, no, not one.
