To lust or not to lust...

[bluegirl]

I do. I know sin when I see it.

What I can't do is condemn someone for having sex outside of marriage.

Neither can I.

 

[Lewis]

Lust is an intense unnatural desire to have what isn't yours.

Thou shalt not covet...

But wouldn't you say that' that is a part of the natural man ? I mean you are born with those qualities, not just sexual, but things like for instance the emperors of Rome that had to kill to be emperors. Or like the politicians today don't they lust to be in that position, to have that kind of power, does that not drive them. And wanting the guy next door's wife has been going on forever, so not until the flesh is laid to rest by God will those things ever be dealt with. There are many Christian who will struggle with this for the rest of their lives, and the didn't ask for it.

We are all born into sin. Lust of the flesh or lust after other things are simply things we as believer must crucify. NO CHRISTIAN has to struggle with any of it. We must renew the mind hence then we can begin to walk in the spirit and not the flesh. God has already given us the victory over any of this through Christ Jesus and gave us all the knowledge and tools to over come it and live above these things. It's up to us.....
