text: have you been tempted to cheat, or be the "other person"? how did you deal with it? from a christian perspective? not only was i tempted to, but i fell into it. and hopefully you can learn from my passed sin  . it's not worth  it !!!!   when we get tempted,we are blinded to all the consequences that follow. and believe me, there will be consequences .. but here is the good news.. being tempted is not a sin .. resist the devil and he will flee from you . trust me, you will be greatly disappointed in the end,with unbelievable heartache .  it is the christians duty to cast  down those imaginations that exault themselves above god and bring them into the obedience and captivity of jesus .. shut the thoughts down, and replace them with god's word .. lord bless you ....  emotional closeness can very well lead to physical . the devil knows how to set that up like nobodies business .   he will do what ever he can to acomplish his goal .
