If Jesus is living in a person, and they are then controlled by the Holy Spirit, God will naturally lead a person out of a life that is a slave to sin.

Yes they might be tempted once in a while, but will not go back into a habit of sinning and living as if they weren’t saved. Who wants worldly pleasure that leads to destruction when one has Jesus (long term anyway)?

Of course God is not the problem...man is and he still has the old nature within regardless. I have seen people who would appear not to be Christian, who you should have seen their life before they became Christian. I have also seen people you would believe are Christian but then show otherwise along the way.

There is no perfection this side of heaven....habits of the flesh are difficult to break and or overcome, and most are those of the flesh....ask any obese person who is a Christian that’s fought years to loose the excess pounds.

Most people who re trapped by this stuff would rather not be....Christian and not. Some who are not Christian overcome their habits...some who are Christian never do.

I think when it comes to Homosexuality though it’s so in your face today and no shame by those who practice that behavior. What was once done behind closed doors, as with adultery etc, are now flaunted in full view of the audiance...and then forced on other people to observe.

You ask who wants worldly pleasure? Even Christians today are showing they do.
