Re: Sherri G,


Temptation, from where one starts one’s journey, as you correctly observe, leads one to perdition … eternal damnation.

You never fail to deliver educational and fascinating posts. Man has always been fascinated by beauty and simply must have it. Temptation can lead to some really scary behavior. Red rose

Alas, pining for beauty in the flesh leads to decit from the wicked. There are so many correlations that could be made from this eloquent synopsis. Marvelous work. I kept thinking that being entranced by the beauty of another's beholding initially started his demise regardless of the devil. Envy is not good and his wanting her to be his signifies a weakness in himself. Again, many correlations exist!
