Sin =/= Temptation

For Fapstronauts who are disciples of Christ

  1. EXPONENTIALLY

    EXPONENTIALLY Fapstronaut

    It's sometimes the guilt of being tempted , experiencing unexpected genitals frictions with pants or bed or blanket for example, triggering then toxic fantasies leading to the ultra-availability of pornography. And as the decision to fall back or stay on track remains mine, I find myself trying to equal the current temptation to the actual ultimate sin.

    After I really relapsed, I realized how worse it was than the temptation phase and that equaling it to the real sin was just a trick of the devil to get me down.

    So just watch your temptation, stay calm and neutralize it by sublimating this opportunity of desire into something profitable for you, considering it like a momentary boost of speed in a race that you must use before it's gone or like a temporary bomb you have to throw in a wall to break or an ennemy to annihilate before it destroys itself and you.


    For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. -Hebrews 4:15

    There 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. -1 Corinthians 10:13

    Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. -James 1:12

    Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? -Proverbs 6:28

    Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. -Matthew 26:41

    And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. -Mark 7:20-23

    For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is tried. Thou broughtest us into the net; thou laidst affliction upon our loins. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water: but thou broughtest us out into a wealthy place. -Psalm 66:10-12

    Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. -Psalm 16:11
