Where does one cross the line?look at these scenarios:you are walking on the street and you see a lady and your mind tells you she will be good in bed.Again your mind fondles with the idea of you breaking into a bank and making away with millions.At the end of the day,none of the above happened either because of self control or sheer impossibility.Are you still liable?

Yes it's cos both of them are Synonymous to each other. Let's check this example from this very chapter from the Bible:
But I say to you that whoever looks at a
woman to lust for her has already committed
adultery with her in his heart." (Matthew 5:27,28)
All men and women have thoughts about the
opposite sex and this is the way we are designed by
God.

God test you, while satan tempts!
So God is not associated with filthiness . Temptation and Sin is of the devil.
So it's now Left for You to ask God For forgiveness when such a thought is conceived in your mind.

Temptation is the tendency or opportunity to disobey God (trial or examination time) while sin means being disobedient to God (failing the exam).

Temptation and sin are not the same. This is why: Temptation is a tool that measures our strength in our weaknesses, when we overcome, we are victorious but yielding to temptation is sin and not the temptation itself. You cannot be tempted where you are strong. For example, after Jesus finished His 40days fasting, He was hungry and Devil knew He was weak in that area, that HE needed food and the temptation of turning stone to bread came in. Jesus overcame by not yielding to it.

So next time you are tempted know that it is common with all men. Note that you are weak in that area. God has promised us that when we are weak, HE makes us strong. Hallelujah!!!!

it's illogical to say temptation and sin are the same thing.everybody is tempted one way or the other everyday.the mind is weird and it wander as it likes.like now,i feel like having early morning sex with a woman in my house,that's temptation not sin.

you are mixing it up here bro, whether strong or weak one is always tempted. The options you would have is either to allow the temptation weighed you or you overcome it!
Its a Test when God allows the devil to tempt you. And becomes a sin when such act is conceived and achieved!
Temptation is now a sin when you conceived such thought without remorse! But victorious when you kick such thought away!
So U̶̲̥̅̊ see why I say it is synonymous?

Please,how is Gods test different from satans temptation?

God test can not make you sin, but Temptation could make you!
God's test is Always a "Test Of Faith" which in no way is a sin.

Temptation is different from sin:
The devil tempted JESUS CHRIST but He didn't sin: "And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season." (Luke 4:13)

When tempted, you can stand or fall. When you fall, that is when it becomes sin:
"They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. " (Luke 8:13)

That is how I see it too but the scripture has different interpretations.That is why I sought for other perspectives. Thanks all for your contributions.
