Thread: What about Temptation???

For those of you that follow the extra biblical teachings of that calvin guy (is that like a lost book of calvin er something that some claim should be in the Bible?)...

What do you do about temptation?

If God is in control and you give in to temptation of some sort, do you consider this to be God's fault er something???

James 1:13-15
Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

This is one key to understanding why babies are considered innocent before the Lord, yet as we grow older we began to allow the ways of the flesh (wisdom of blind mankind) to lead and guide our lives and we turn away from God

Romans 1:21-25
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever

So... how do you calvin guys (or whatever it's called - since it's not scripture, I'm not interested in calvin) explain what happens when someone is being tempted and they give in to it... does this mean it was God's will to do whatever sin that was and you couldn't help yo selfs???

Like AJ told you months ago (and I have a feeling she may know more about this than I do), you are accomplishing nothing here.

Yeah, why let scripture get in the way?

If nothing else, don't read my comments... just read the scriptures being posted.

It's always good to review God's Word, right?

You mean the parts that you underlined ?
