Deep dives

Understanding the distinction between desire and temptation

Desire and temptation need to be differentiated in understanding sin. The Bible mentions that the origin of sin comes from within, where one's own desires can lead to temptation. External temptations, on the other hand, do not inherently stem from one's own sinful nature. It is important to recognize and respond differently to desires that lead to sinful thoughts or actions versus external temptations that can be resisted without giving in to sinful desires.

Dr. Christopher Yuan joins the podcast to discuss whether or not same-sex attraction is a sinless temptation or a sinful desire. This is the heart of conversations surrounding Side B theology, which teaches that same-sex sin is wrong, but the identity of “gay” is not. Christopher and Alisa also share some concerns surrounding the upcoming Exiles in Babylon Conference, which claims to equip Christians from a biblical perspective, yet features many speakers who promote Side B theology.
