can i ask some several minutes? haha i know my thread is not that interesting but i wanna hear some statements though.

so what do you think why teens like me, like you, like them, like us are prone to temptations and struggles? i mean in a christian life, one foot in the hell, one foot in the heaven>. well i just wanna know your side folks.

i`m just 16 years old now, but i received Jesus a long time ago, and baptized by the Holy Spirit but though, i still have struggles like being into sins easily. but I realized recently we must surrender all to God. you know guys, some of teens mustn't tell they are in struggles or afflictions or consequences. but Holy Spirits convicts, tells you what is right and wrong. be aware folks if Holy Spirit is not in your favor cause you will never know that what you are doing is not right. I sinned again and again, asking forgiveness again and again. Hebrews 10.26 - paul noted there that there would be no sacrifice left for our sins if we purposely go again sinning after we received the salvation/truth. this is not blackmail folks. i`m just being cautious and concern for every salvation of every individuals.

thank you for reading, im sorry if i disturbed your time just for reading this. hehehe any critics and compliments are accepted. testimonies and comments are very well welcome. im being into active right now since I`m just new. hehehe. well guys. you can add me into facebook and let us be friends and know more deeply. haha! .Godbless. YHWH bless us.!

Why do I think we fall into temptation? Because we have a fallen spirit inside of us. This spirit makes it easy for us to sin, and love every minute of it(until it ends and we feel like crap).

BTW, welcome to CF! Hope you enjoy your stay!

I think the reason is pretty simple. The nearer we draw to God, the angrier Satan gets (as we know, he hates us and wants us to burn in hell with him, instead of sharing in God's happiness), and the harder he tries to tempt and test us. Think of Job. While it would not be nice to live like him, isn't it an honor to be so righteous and upright that the devil would get so mad at you?

And a god that is all powerful just lets this happen? Seems a bit ridiculous to me.

Why so? God never promised us a cake walk in the park, neither are we told a similar message regarding the spiritual realm. God has reasons for letting the demons attack us, namely to rely on His Spirit. Another reason would be to encourage us to be obedient to God's guidance and obey Him no matter what happens (i.e. the very life of Job)
