Good point......but could we classify anything as temptation? Eating, playing a game.....?

So is everything then a sin if we are not worshiping God? i think so......

All I know is, if people didn't do crazy and risky things, YouTube would be nearly barren of content.

I think this is an interesting question, worthy of serious consideration. For some people, activities that may be described as challenging or risky (which I'm guessing you're asking, as opposed to merely recreational) are a means of personal development: learning new skills, increasing competence and confidence, mastering fear, connecting with others on a more personal level. For others, they are a means of self indulgent thrill and/or attention seeking. For still others, such as for a soldier engaged in combat, the risks are a means to an objective which one hopes will be worth the sacrifice.

A little reflection on the question of why am I doing this? should answer the question of whether or not one is being foolish or self-indulgent.

Isnt it more, whatever you do, do it as unto the Lord ?
We should always put our heart into what we are doing, do it for Jesus, whatever He has gifted us with, and even the areas where we feel no gifting, glorify Him !

Is this the one and it is supposed to be what they call the eye of God , but I say how can they say that when no one has seen God and God is a spirit.?

Back to the original. I suppose if you are an adventurous person and had lots of practice .... I couldn't clasify this as a temptation . But your title of the thread was conquering fear and I have to say that when we are in Christ Jesus He takes away our fear as He has said he has not given us a spirit of fear but a sound mind.

But to do something foolish or daring I don't think would be a good idea.
