Subject: Were Eve's desires sinful? |
Bible Note: Lionstrong, I may digress a little, but this quote about temptation from an article I read today came to mind as I read your post. "If anything, the increasingly materialistic and individualistic values of the secular culture have permeated American religion more than they have waged war on it, and their strategy has earned them a victory that is all the more impressive because of the extent to which even professed believers appear to take the claims of materialism and individualism as incontestable. Saint Jean Vianney once wrote that the real problem with temptation was less the difficulty of resisting it than that of recognizing it, or, to rephrase slightly, our greatest difficulty in combating the temptations of the world derives from our growing inability to see sin for what it is and hence to see the desire to engage in it as a temptation to be resisted."
