Christian theology states that God always provides a way
out of temptation to avoid sin.
However, this creates a logical paradox
when we look at actions that appear sinful but are actually harmless or
misunderstood.
If a person avoids an action because they falsely believe it
is a sin, and they attribute their strength to divine assistance, then "God's
help" has effectively reinforced a false belief.
In logic, this means the
assistance is guiding the person toward an error in judgment rather than
truth.
To resolve this without contradiction, we have to conclude one of
two things:
Divine guidance only intervenes for actual objective sins,
meaning subjective legalism is entirely human error.
But errors or not,
people still may say they experienced help.
That shows that what people
feel as "divine help" to avoid harmless actions is actually just personal
psychology or social conditioning.
Man and emotion are effectively God...to
us. A real God is not relevant then... •
