On Saturday, went down to zhong ming house again to play mahjong , took a bus down this time .. n 75 took a long long route down man ... its like i'm travelling around Singapore ... went down to shery C'mon, be perfect!" Why would God throw us into such a pointless conundrum? There is nothing honoring, glorifying, amusing or even productive in it.
So when we're tempted, what do we do? Tony, Rick, Dave, Bill and Clay (those are my 'guys group' guys) all said we need to flee temptation. Apparently (and I haven't researched this or anything), the Bible never actually says to 'fight' temptation. It says to flee from it. (Although you'd never guess this in light of the things Christians say about 'struggling with sin' and 'battling Satan' and all that.) I agree with them, but I still have questions.
I could 'flee' till the cows come home, but I will still eventually sin. (Even if I successfully 'fled', I'd be proud of myself for doing it... and that would be pride... and that would be a sin... Ha! I'm screwed.) I know that if I fight, I will eventually lose. I also know that if I preoccupy myself with 'fighting' or 'fleeing' temptation, my chances of falling to it are even greater.
I don't think God put us in some cycle of temptation-defeat-restoration for fun. I don't think we're suppose to be so freaked out about it. I'm not saying that we shouldn't take it seriously, I just think we (specifically, Christians) are far too up tight about our petty morality. We instill an insane amount of unwarranted (and certainly not helpful) guilt into people's lives. we shouldn't take it seriously, I just think we (specifically, Christians) are far too up tight about our petty morality.
