BigRedJ07 Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Where in the Catechism or other Catholic sources can I find something about temptation, other than Jesus's? Where does it say that the three kinds of temptation are of the flesh, of the world, and of the devil?
Cam42 Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 Well, here ya go. CCC 2119 CCC 1808 CCC 2157 CCC 2340 CCC 2113 CCC 2846-49 CCC 2863 CCC 2732-33 CCC 2753 CCC 2755 CCC 2612 [quote name='CCC 2846']This petition goes to the root of the preceding one, for our sins result from our consenting to temptation; we therefore ask our Father not to "lead" us into temptation. It is difficult to translate the Greek verb used by a single English word: the Greek means both "do not allow us to enter into temptation" and "do not let us yield to temptation." "God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one"; on the contrary, he wants to set us free from evil. We ask him not to allow us to take the way that leads to sin. We are engaged in the battle "between flesh and spirit"; this petition implores the Spirit of discernment and strength.[/quote] CCC 2846 speaks to the last of your question. I hope this helps. N.B. CCC 538-40; and 566 speak to the temptation of Jesus. [url="http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/ccc_toc.htm"]Catechism of the Catholic Church 2nd Edition[/url], for clarification.
