No, an urge isn't a sin, even though the warning about committing adultery in our hearts is valuable counsel that if our thoughts are left unchecked we tend to act on them more than if we recognize them and try to combat them.

There are many people with physical or mental disabliites that prevent them from attaining this? Is God failing them too?

Indy and FM, thank you for making my point that it is usually an unalterable condition, unable to be moved by scripture, prayer or counsel.
Again, contradicting the pamphlet. |

The point is, God's love is not defined by how willing he is to remove things from us that clearly are a part of being mortal. |

http://cougarguard.com/forum/showpos...92&postcount=4 I also pointed out that some of the church's viewpoints were no different than the leading psychological reference guide at the time. Shame on them for relying on the wisdom and learning of men. Maybe that should be a painful lesson to us all that rely too much on the arm of flesh. |
