Humans can NEVER be tempted by RexBrita: 9:49pm On Feb 20, 2015 |
Are you sometimes tempted to this or that? Yeah I know. But I don’t think so. Temptation is the desire to do or have something that is bad or wrong, or a thing that makes somebody want to do or have something that they know is bad or wrong. A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE But temptation is just choice, nothing more. Let me explain using a food analogy. Do you eat glass? I am sure more than 99.99% of humans don’t. What if someone who is very hungry were presented with a beautiful plate of colourful sharp-edged broken pieces of glass? To make it more ‘tempting’, the dish is garnished (and disguised) by the best chef and served with mouth-watering appetizers and desserts in the ambience of a 5-star restaurant. I can bet no one will eat the glass regardless of the intensity of their hunger. So we cannot be tempted to do what we do not want to do. IT’S ALL ABOUT CHOICE The word temptation creates the impression of an external force pulling or pushing us into what we do not want. But it’s a big lie. We decide to do what we do except that we have not found sufficient reason(s) not to. Using that word, temptation, only empowers our powerlessness. CAN WE OVERCOME TEMPTATION? If it exists, yes we can. There are 3 steps: 1) Choices You don’t eat glass but you can eat burger, rice, spags, chilala, and a host of other choices. So create or discover other healthy alternatives you can choose from. 2) Get to know If we know why we shouldn't do a thing, it is a easier to avoid it. So educate yourself. Find out why it is bad. And what makes the other alternatives better. Should we want anyone not to do something, furnish the person (even kids) with logical reasons why. Unfortunately in this part of the world, we tend to just say it to them (or command it). 3) Choose. You are the king/queen of your world. NOTHING makes you do anything but yourself. It's your life/world, own it. Choose what you want. Deuteronomy 30:19 The choice is even made easier. You already know the 'temptation' is a bad idea. 1 Like 1 Share |
