Tempted

[Standingwolf13]

[h=1]James 1 English Standard Version (ESV)
12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.[/h]
[h=1]1 Corinthians 10 English Standard Version (ESV)[/h]12 Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

I pray to GOD that he removes and then uses all of my temptations for his bennefit.

14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire.

Are we in control of our desires or are we in control of our actions? This is why I don't bash those who have acted on their desires of their flesh, homosexuals. A desire can be a mental issue such as
Kleptomania: You don't need that thing, and you can afford to buy it, but you can't help yourself: you just take it. Kleptomaniacs compulsively steal items that are not needed or have little monetary value, and experience a rush of pleasure as a result.

It is kind of funny because people who believe that Jesus is God makes these scriptures untrue.

13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.

Satan tempted Jesus in the desert; Jesus did not fall into the temptation.
