Before Eve took a bite

Agreed,
That is a great paraphrase of James 1:14 & James 1:15

Thanks for all of the nice the comments but I had these in my study notes, I do not remember when or where they came from. They do help me understand the sin process.
There was a book written in the 15th century by a brother Lawrence, simple monk. When asked to be Pope he declined. He said he already had everything he wanted. His books is called Practicing His Presence . I read that and one by Frank laubach about the same time and it helped me when I became interested in really trying to keep my focus on God.
To me finding the Will of God is sometimes the problem. I liked what Ray said at the conference... always look for the "right" thing to do and do it.
Beloved ;D ;D ;D

Beloved so graciously wrote: :)
He was able to say to Himself and to Satan — if my Father tells me to turn stones into bread I shall do so. But if the voice is any other than my Father's voice, I must do only those things which I hear from my Father. [/b]
But if the voice is any other than my Father's voice..... Wow this is awesome! Talk about keeping it simple, Beloved these words are about as profound as I have read for sometime. The number of times that I have balanced and couter-balanced justification for decisions I need to make or have made are uncountable. However, what other justification is there if not for the simple truth of our Father's voice.
Joe, thanks so much for starting this thread, and everyone one else for their loving words.

Joe,
A great teaching. But there is also another leg which I've heard that helps to add a third leg to the stool of this teaching.
The verses you pointed out reveal the fall of Eve and all that is in the world. But the third leg of this teaching is the fact that the 3 temptations of Jesus in the wilderness, show the path of victory which He took to overcome "all that caused Eve" to sin, and "all that is in the world."
