And by the way, for those that see adult entertainment as "tempting" others to sin, and therefore you're sinning yourself, I think you're wrong. Temptation is not something that a person is forced into from an external source. It's an internal "failing" in the individual who succumbs to temptation.

Many people who leave their old lives behind for a new life of devotion to God saw in themselves a failing that they couldnt live with anymore, so I dont think we should judge them harshly. I think it's personally a mistake to think you can save others from themselves (maybe even arrogant; thats what Jesus was here for), but it's not a mistake to save yourself from yourself.

Satan didnt tempt Jesus to corrupt Jesus externally. Satan tempted Jesus to *draw out* any corruption that was already there. That is a huge fundamental difference.

All IMHO anyway.
