The Apostle Paul spake of the many temptations he went through, as comes with the territory of *BEING HUMAN*. People say that they fall into sin because they're human. This is incorrect. As long as we are in these shells called "bodies" we will be tempted. This is inevitable; sin is optional. JESUS isn't tempted now because HE sits on the Throne. HE was only tempted on earth because he was residing in our earthly realm. Being tempted isn't wrong. What's wrong is allowing temptation to boss you around. You can have many temptations just like Paul did. This doesn't demonize you. Just know that you have the power of choice. You always have a choice. Temptation can't make you do anything. GOD has empowered us; we're above temptation!
