Thanks for your reply.

"Temptation or natural desires are EXTERNAL forces that are basically trying to convince you to do something that is wrong. For example, my body may really want to have sex with that woman I just met."

If External forces come from my body, where do Internal forces come from?
(I would have defined External forces as forces coming from outside one's body; I would have classified a toothache as someething Internal, and someone else pushing me, or pointing a gun to my head as an External force).

I can understand that.
