Topic - Temptation
We are not supposed to say that "I am tempted by God." Temptation is being drawn to something or action by our own selfish wishes. Selfishness is not of God, for God is love. God can NOT be tempted by evil, and He would NOT be the cause of evil tempting you. Evil is the absence of God and evil's abdicate is the Devil.
When you are tempted, it is your own selfishness for something or to do something that is there. That desire, once born, can lead you to sin. Sin, once full-grown, leads to death. Either nip that sin in the butt by going back to God or let it lead you to your grave. Your choice. Eternal Life (continuing to learn and grow happily when Jesus returns) or Eternal Death (which is nonexistence).
This is a place where I am study God's Word for myself. I am a bit of a historian so also including some research into the culture of the times and people that I come across as I read the Bible will be here too. This is just a way for me to share what I learn with others as well as feel like I am being held accountable for keeping up with my devotions. I am lazy by nature and need that small check and balance.
