the things we do are choices we make. we make conscious decisions to do certain things, or to entertain certain thoughts. yes, we have thoughts that come to our minds unbidden, but then we have to chose whether or not to push it out and dwell on something else, or to let it run lose in there. how we react to what other people do, situations we find ourselves in, etc. are choices, and we are responsible for those choices. we can't push our responsibility on someone else (such as, the Devil made me do it). it is also only on us, after we are saved, if we give in to sinful desires. we now have the power of God in our lives, who will make a way of escape with any temptation that faces us. it's up to us to tap into that power and overcome, or give in to the desires of the flesh. but remember this -- each time you give in, there will be a consequence to pay. maybe not right away, but eventually. even if you think no one knows, God knows, and eventually it will be revealed.
