You've got to be kidding. Read thru the thread. When a person calls you false, and or appears to be hateful to you, the Cap's are generally considered as yelling. Besides, I am not new on talking on forums. This is generally accepted by most forum folk. Just ask around and or research it for yourself.

You have an explanation as to why u use caps
i think d gave one too, seems u just don't believe him in favour of what u think his motives are
so...no...I'm not kidding
it seems to me that at this current time, u r oversensitive and you r judging someone else's motives. I recognize that perhaps that is offensive to u but I haven't used caps so at least u can't accuse me of being hateful or yelling

No, I have been discussing on forums since 2004. Go back and read the posts. If you can't see it, then you are simply choosing not to see it. There is no love in his words towards me. There is only hate and accusations. When you add words that are Capped with hate it is not a good combination.
As for your statement about being oversenstive: Again, place yourself in my shoes. Go back and read the thread and imagine... just imagine... what it is like if you were me. Jesus said do unto others that you would want done unto yourself. If someone was calling you false, and accusing you falsely and leaving Cap's Lock key on with expressive words of anger towards you, how would you feel?

Now back to this internal and external stuff... I want you to understand your wrong so, YOU, Jason please provide scripture on this internal and external tempting...
33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.34Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
Matthew 19:26
26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Matthew 17:20 - And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
John 10:30 - I and [my] Father are one.
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

So...u don't recognize that u are using your own experience on this forum, since 2004, to override what someone else actually told u their motives were?
Again...if I was currently in your shoes I wouldn't judge the other persons motives. I would ask not assume I knew what was going on inside the other persons head.
But that's just me

Well, as you are probably aware, something does not have to be mentioned in the Scriptures in order for it to exist. Smart phones, tablets, the internet, and cars are not mentioned in Scripture and yet they exist. In fact, many things that existed thru out history are not mentioned in the Scriptures. Yet they still existed. It's the same concept with internal temptation and external temptation. It exists in real life and can also be seen in the Scriptures in the case with Jesus.
For example: (You might have missed my analogy before),
But let's say some guy tries to tempt a man who is born blind into looking at women lustfully in a strip club (when he does not know this man is blind). The guy who is tempting this blind man is tempting this blind man externally into lusting after women in a strip club. Yet, the blind man has no vision to see these women lustfully, so he has no capacity to look upon these women lustfully because he is blind. There is no internal temptation with this blind man. His temptation is all external by the guy trying to tempt him wrongfully.
The devil tempted Jesus externally. Yet Jesus had no internal temptation or desire or capacity to indulge the devil's external temptations.
Also, Jesus is not against the use of using real world examples. Jesus used Parables (i.e. real world examples) all the time so as to illustrate spiritual truth within the Scriptures.
I know what these passages say. But I don't know what you think they say. What do you think they are implying? Do we go beyond what the actual text states to forumulate an opinion? Or do we let the text stand as it is?

Everything with the living word of God that He wants to exists, does exists. I'm sure if God wanted to define some " internal and external " temptation, He would have. Now for your " blind man " example, if he can't see it, he CANT be tempted by it. If he HEARS the music, and the women starts grinding on him and he FEELS her, now he's being tempted... Those scriptures I posted were to show Jesus was man, and was God.

Gravity, Atoms, and Blackholes are not directly mentioned in the Scriptures. But yet, we know they exist. God is not obligated to mention these things within Scripture.
As for the blind man example: Well, I can say this and be correct (grammatically).
"Hey, guys, I was just tempted by this man in the park with some hot smart phones."
"Yeah, right. Like I am truly interested in the cops in showing up at my door."
Now, from listening to this conversation, would you say I was tempted in wanting the smart phones? No. I was only externally tempted. Swap temptation for love, or some other emotion. It's the same thing, my friend.
As for your final point: No, Hebrews 7:26 says He was Holy, separate from sinners and undefiled. So there was no way Jesus could have had anything dark within Him to do be tempted in a wrong way. For Jesus would not have the capacity to do sin or evil. Jesus was the Light who shined out darkness. Jesus could not fail in his mission. He predicted his death and resurrection with certainty.

Ok, " another example " ... Your saying you didn't want the phone, because it was hot " stolen " , that's why you didn't want it, so you were tempted, it was the repercussions that stopped you from completing the act. The questions was asked, you looked, new it was shady deal, and denied the temptation, passing the test...
To late couldn't add to post (correction) I meant knew not new...
but the question was asked Jason, you were tempted... you thought hey, if I purchase these phones I could probably get off of them quickly for a profit but I could get caught with these hot phones and get charged with a felony, I better not do that.
