While the title may appear to give a sense of condemning whoever succumbs to temptation, the posit is not about condemnation but about the need to recognise that the buck of our lives stops with us. We must take full responsibility for our choices regardless of the difficulties that might face us while making those choices. The possibility of certain "grave" temptations may only be a reason for falling - never an excuse. The standard of sin is absolute, once defined, not relative. I have a great number of personal experiences where I succumbed to temptations (I dare say some of them were not even very great temptations yet I fell. lol) but in all these, I could not justify myself on the strength of the gravity of the temptation. I was only grateful that God's mercy was available. So it was of Him who keeps on showing mercy and not of us who have any "case to argue or prove" for failing on the ground that the exam was too tough.

And at any rate, no temptation is ALWAYS and UNIVERSALLY insurmountable. Overcoming a temptation, any temptation at all, is always a possibility as one increases in appropriating the grace of God. Some temptations I fell for some years ago are no longer problematic to me today and some that I am still falling for today are no problem at all for some people higher than me spiritually. I know that soon, I too will overcome them as I grow. This shows that the problem was not the power of the temption to defy us but our own weakness under certain circumstances to resist.

Therefore, while in a status of weakness, we should not excuse ourselves but rather repent and pray as Jesus instructed ("Lead us not into temptation"), for God to make such temptations not to even come our way now, since if we fall, we will not be excused despite our weakness. But we may be pardoned.
