"I'm a girl too! So of course it applies to you Cerebii-chan! Yes, I like that nickname for you."
"Well my friend, help is different for people. People who say their help comes from God, are weak willed and need others to direct them. God gave us the strength to turn ourselves away. I defeat Temptation like everyone else, just turn away. Difference is, I'm smart enough to say I did it myself, instead of thinking God had to turn me away. God wants us to be strong and act on things ourselves, if we say "God saved me from sleeping with that person!" That means they believe they weren't enough to turn away, and had to rely on God. Do you think God would want that? The same applies in reverse. I choose to be virtuous on my own. God doesn't tell me to help people in order to please God, I do that myself, I do good things to, in a sense, please god on my own. Though I don't do it for such vain reasons as "Making God love me more." Only the selfish do that."
Cuddels towards Cerebii-chan.

ZimbuTessen RsnblFaith If God gave you the strength to do so, does that not mean that God helped you turn away by giving you the ability to so? "Perhaps, but God gave us the ability to breath, yet we do it on our own. Is God making us breath then? Do ants question what makes them do things, or say it's because of God or the Devil? No, they just act. Does that mean they burn in hellfire? Mabye, mabye not. But why question it? Why look at it from a thousand angles? Just breath. Just move. Just sin or don't. Just be virtuous or don't. Once we trully live this way, then we shall trully have peace of the mind, body and soul."
I never denied we have our choices. Now you are jumping from God helping, to God doing which is not the same thing. And to just move might cause us to fall into a pit if we don't think of where we are moving, to just breath might cause us to breath improperly and wear down faster, to sin is to do things you ought not have done, to live virtuous is simply to do what is best, and to live is to die. And as we walk on this earth we shall not have full blown peace for trouble lies on every corner, but in a way we can have a peace unspeakable, peace because it allows us to live without regret, unspeakable because it is something hard to explain.
