Jesus declared sinful thoughts as sin. It's not negotiable. Matt. 5:28No, that is not an accurate representation of Scriptures concerning the powers of the air (Thoughts) that come into our mind. It isn't a Sin when a thought comes into our mind.
Jesus also said evil thoughts are evil, lawless and defining. Again not negotiable
People are easily led into the deceptions of excuses and letting themselves off the hook rather than confronting the reality that evil is in fact present within us. Romans 7:21
The fact that you are engaging in battle or resistance means it's within to contend withFirst, we need to discern them to know if they are from above or below. We have weapons and Armor from God to make said discernment, and then to use against such thoughts that are ungodly or sinful, so that we are not carried away by them.
Accurate conclusion in boldJames 1: 13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is "drawn away" of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
In fact, according to the Holy Scriptures, our entire Battle is against spiritual wickedness in high places, which I believe to be sinful thoughts that come into our mind.
If Godly thoughts were the only thoughts in play you'd have a point, but that's never the caseWhich aligns perfectly with the Scriptures. The Kingdom of God dwells within me, the Temple of God is my mind, and the people of my Kingdom are thoughts. Godly thoughts are preserved, fed, nourished and allowed to prosper in my kingdom. Wicked thoughts are to be cast out, utterly destroyed, man, woman, cattle and every last part of the thought so that the wicked thought doesn't rule or influence any of the righteous thoughts in the Kingdom God gave me.
In this way I am led by Godly thoughts, which is the purpose of the Gospel of Christ in the first place, in my view.
