As for this entry, I agree in terms of dividing temptation into categories, i.e. the obvious ones: "Do I finish this comment and then surf the internet for porn?" v. those actions which, while not <i>per se</i> sinful, are actions which do not confirm to God's will under the circumstances. I would suggest that the former is confronted by all humans, regardless of their spiritual condition; the latter by Christians alone. Cheers.
