Apples of Gold - July 24

We know from 1 Corinthians:10:13There 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.
See All... that all temptations (including homosexuality) can be forsaken and that God has provided a way of escape. Paul had already noted this in 1 Corinthians:6:11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
See All.... The Scriptures do not support speculation that a tendency toward a particular sin is the same as being born a full-fledged practitioner of it. No child born to a line of drunkards is born a drunkard. The weaknesses and temptations are there, but choices are also there all along the way. The issue is not whether a person is born that way, but that there is a way whereby we may change. —TBC
