What is the difference between temptations that arise within (i.e., evil desires) versus temptations that come from outside us (Satan and the world)? Can we say these can be distinguished as ‘the world, the flesh and the devil’ (as Eph. 2:1-3 seems to indicate)? Can Satan implant evil thoughts within us? How does he influence our thinking? Can he possess a Christian? Or only oppress us? If the latter, what does that means? How do we handle these different sources of temptation? How do we fight temptation? Bonus question: How do we know when temptation has morphed into sin? (e.g., James 1:14-15)
