Temptation is not at all sin. It becomes sin when people use their feelings with a wrong purpose. Temptation is a spirit. There are many spirits with a human being. These spirits were created by God for human beings.
Human beings are ruled by spirits but humans must learn to control and rule the spirits. Spirits possess people according to the mental state of the human beings and keep them in the same state until they are rejected and replaced by another. This is an all time phenomena occurring in all humans. Human beings are always under the influence of spirits. Certain situations and circumstances cause the possession of certain type of spirits. Often thinking and talking about bad subjects or bad imaginations even for fun can take serious turns on one who think and talk. Often thinking and talking about good subjects with good imaginations can create positive effects in your life. Your favorable thoughts and beliefs can bring favorable spirits by your side. The more you think the more would be the possession of that spirit. All spirits (good and bad) have the possessing and dominating nature. Only because of this nature a drunkard dies as a drunkard and a scholar reaches a top position by studying more and more. They can take you to the extent of sacrifice or suicide.
All of your activities, talks and even thoughts determine what kind of spirits you will have for your life. Only these spirits are the reason for the good and bad happening in your life. These spirits determine your destiny from your daily activities, talks and thoughts too. Spirits are separate elements. A human being doesn't have a spiritual body. A human being during his/her life time is living with many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. They are knowledge, skills, feelings, emotions, interests and everything. Further there will be always some spirits on behalf of your parents, friends, relatives and other people. These spirits are your consciousnesses and memories. Even thoughts are not your own. For example, when you want to take a decision on a subject, one after another the spirits think and you just listen, choose or reject the ideas which they transmit to your mind through your brain in the form of thoughts. Brain is a device used by your spirits to control your body. A mind is a combination/formation of many spirits which have joined one by one since birth. A mind is just a computer's mind. After the destruction of a computer completely you will not get its mind. The same is the case with the human beings. Soul is nothing but an energy needed for the functionality of a body. It is not a spirit or anything else. A body's functionality is based on the auto mechanism. After death all spirits which accompanied a person quit and go to different places searching new bodies. No one lives after death in any form and there is no afterlife. All human beings are just robots made of flesh and bones and toys of the spirits for their games.
You must not leave your mind in its own way. If you do, the spirit will take full control of your mind, then controlling it is not so easy. First of all you must think and believe that it's not you. Then you must command that spirit both mentally and orally to go. Whenever you are possessed by that thought you must divert your mind at once towards some other subject and stay in it for a while and then continue your duty. This is a mental exercise. You may also bring at once an opposite feeling through your imagination. For example if the depression is about your future then you may think, imagine and believe that you are going to live a healthy, wealthy and happy life in future. You must continue this exercise for few days. While doing this exercise you are creating an opposing spirit, i.e., a positive force. Soon this new spirit gets stronger and eliminates the negative force. Within a few days you will be alright.
This is about sex or sexual feelings. God wanted to see the earth filled with all of his creatures forever and ever. That's why he had created male and female and gave them the power to create their kind themselves. He had created spirits too for various purposes. He never thought that the intercourse is a sin, on the contrary he had thought that it is necessary. After creating the human beings, God might have thought that he had entangled himself in a great responsibility. He is creating new spirits even now. The possession of these spirits cause new developments on this earth.

When does temptation become a sin?
Temptation becomes sin when you give into it. Some people think that temptation itself is sin, but that is not true. Jesus was tempted for forty days in the wilderness, and he was perfect - the only person to ever fulfil the law in every part. Therefore, he could not have sinned, which means temptation is not sin. Doing what you are tempted to do is sin.
Is temptation a sin?
No. Temptation itself is not a sin. Following up on the temptation, or continually seeking the temptation is a sin. Through scripture, we know that Jesus Christ was without sin (1John 3:5 as one example), however the Bible also states that Jesus was a victim of temptation (Matthew 4:1-11). Since the bible states that Jesus was without sin, however he WAS tempted leads us to the conclusion that temptation itself is NOT a sin. James 1:14-15 states: "Each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death." .Answer Being tempted is not a sin because the enemy is tempting you Your not tempting your self But falling into temptation and being caught in it is a sin Jesus was tempted but he did not fall in it so he dident sin But we sinners get caught sometimes Jesus is no sinner He is God He does not sin

How would you use temptation?
As a Presbyterian Minister, I would probably use it as a sermon illustration! But, more seriously, I would use the universiality of temptation as a warning for people to keep up their Christian strength by constant Bible reading and meditation; constant prayer; and constant vigilance. I would also use the old hymn, "Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin" to remind them that encountering temptation is not a sin; giving in to it is. I all of the above, of course, I am assuming that we are talking about temptation to sin, as opposed to benign temptation.
