Could you Resist Temptation?

Question:

Hey before you answer the question read this see if it sways you or not…!.!.
Could you resist Temptation!? Even if you knew it was a sin…!.!.God behold the greatest temptation in front of his first two creations and Adam and Eve couldn’t resist the temptation over ruling God’s wise words!. So who are we to say that we could!? (All Twilight fans should know this next quote) Genesis 2:17, “But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil!. Thou shall not eat of it!. For when thou shall eatest of it thou shalt surely die!.” And yet we take a dip into the pool of temptation, whilst knowing fully what the consequences might be!. Why we do these things, I ask why, because we’re human!? Or just greedy!? Then again is it the adrenaline pumping through our veins as we risk our lives we hold so precious!. Snow White, herself a fictional character beloved by her young fans, leaped into the unknown for the divine taste of that admirable, red apple before her, without thinking and as a result it was the death of her!. And the saying the forbidden fruit always tastes the sweetest!. But would you take that risk for the unknown!. Yet, who am I to judge those that take the chance when it arises!. For temptation after all is the wine that flows into our glasses!. Temptation is the thought of unconditional love that rings through the minds of the lonely!. Temptation is a sign of weakness and yet a sign of greatness thrust upon those who can truly take!. After reading this before you decide could you really resist temptation!? I know I couldn’t but does that make me a bad person!? I’ll let you decide!.

Being human is not an excuse for not resisting temptations!. We are not JUST humans, we ARE humans!.!. We're the only creature that are given the capacity to think for ourselves!. Thus, it is a matter of virtues and priorities!.

And yes, it is sooo hard to be really good and pure and all but that's just how it is!. We have to admit that we can't stay nice for a whole week!. Giving in to temptation does not fully make us a bad person, I myself always give in to it but hey, I admit my sins and somehow try not to do it again, hopefully!.

Humans are not greedy by nature, but most of us are weak of faith and were not brought up to be saints!. Plus, our environment is full of temptations and the devil is everywhere and so is God!.!.

How I resist temptation!? By always planting into my mind that Someone is watching!.!. So I better be careful!.!. Haha!=)Www@QuestionHome@Com
