No one does number three.." .just another straw man..
We admit that it's part of the flesh that needs to be put to death and that the desires are NOT okay but wrong and need to be overcome THRU THE POWER GIVEN BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
I was actually surprised about this truth.
I was talking to muslims, and they assumed everything they did and reacted about
was them. So if they smelt a delicious food, and then wanted it then and there,
that was what was the right thing to do and have.
They had no cultural concept of association, linked to an response which then
went to a desire and resulted in an action.
So Muhammeds answer to sexual desire was to find your wife and have sex with her.
Equally covetousness, greed, envy, avarice, are all emotionally linked responses that
grow over time, and with fantasy can be fed and almost uncontrollable.
I worked with one man who fed sexual fantasy, and for him no situation was off limits.
On the flip side some feel the sexual response is actually the definition of inability
to be righteous, and original sin, where sex within marriage is also evil.
So though you may feel this is a straw man, in your thinking, your understanding
is simply not broad enough, and listening to lots of different commentators.
What I find disappointing is rather than thinking through the concept you come with
such an immediate response. You are sounding more like g7 by the day, lol.
