Temptation

(1/5) > >>

Mike Gagne:
 I am looking for some thoughts on this, specially on the way to escape? I have my ideas but would like to hear from some here!

1Co 10:13  There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.


Thanks R.P J

Hi Mike,

I notice you underlind ( but with the temptation also make a way to escape )
Why does anyone sin to begin with?
what way does God make for one to escape with ?

Sin to me is just doing something I like to do that God does not agree with. I guess the question is how does God get me to stop doing what I like to do that is not righteous in His sight?

This I know, God does what God does and I do as I do and the time will come when God says enough and then I will do as God does and as I do will be no more.

I cannot be tempted by anything I do not like, All I can say is create in me Lord a new heart because the one I have now is corrupt and that I've come to understand.

I find no good thing dwells in my flesh, who will save me from this body of death, I thank the Lord Jesus who know me better than I know my self.

God bless.

Thayer Definition:
1) an egress, way out, exit
1a) applied figuratively to the way of escape from temptation
2) the issue referring to the end of one’s life
2a) Heb_13:7 refers not only to end of physical life, but the manner in which they closed a well spent life as exhibited by their spirit in dying


The way to 'escape' is in the death of the beast within.  There is nothing that we can do in and of ourselves to accomplish this imo.


2Th 2:8  And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:


That is the only way to 'escape'.  The beast has to die and Christ has to do it in us.  A lot of the things we want to escape from we just have to endure until God works in us and through us to do it.

rick:
Scripture tells us what to do and how we are to walk in this life, I think its quite noble for those who read scriprure and try to adhere to its teaching but to all that do try are self deceived thinking the ability is in them to accomplish such a thing being made in vanity not understanding we are to spiritually weak to adhere to the laws of God.

Its Gods creation and Gods plan to save all , if I leared anything  through Rays papers its this, I can do nothing on my own, that means to me, if God doesn't do it , its not getting done,  but with patients we wait upon the Lord  and in waiting we learn great patients.

Jesus told the women who was caught in adultery go and sin no more , does any think she actually never sinned again?

How can something that is corrupt change ? Jesus is the anwser .

Wittenberg:
If free will doesn't exist, why have guilt or shame over sinning (not that you are)? We will stop sinning when we're dead or if the Lord chooses us to become overcommers. I pray most days to stop sinning but it has gone unanswered as of yet. It's frustrating, but teaches me patience. There will be a day when I stop sinning, I look forward to it.
As for your question, if you figure it out, let me know.
