5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Gods word - As it is written man who looks back not fit for the kingdom of God. (Christ)
Remember Sodom and Gomorrah that lots wife wanted to go back. She looks back and God turned her into a pillar of salt. People are easily attached to easy believism and I call it UN hinging scripture. We are not saved by works but if a Christians even ordinary person tries and don't want to walk in the flesh but you as a Christian reaffirm such a people that they are trying to keep the law when they are trying not to repeat the same things that had been mastering and enslaving them you might be comforting them but it will not resolve the issue. For instance you as a Christian can walk into an alcohol anonymous place and tell those alcoholics that they are trying to keep the works and that is Law and we are not under law what you are doing is affirming in their mind that's okay and maybe they will have the thought in their minds I can take another drink. You're setting a dangerous precedent in their mind. Remember Satan was the most cunning serpent in the field. He made sin seem pleasurable. Just a little temptation here and there it won't hurt. Perhaps just a puff of a cigarette can give you cancer. You know the curiosity of the cat. Look at the abortion rate murder of unborn children. We can call it the struggle between evil and good. We wrestle not against flesh and blood. Put on the whole armour of God yet make sure you leave an access door. You see the redundancy of what you're setting up in somebody's mind. We can say Apostle Paul will laugh at this but Apostle Paul is under Christ. The master is Jesus. The master is the unblemished Lamb of God. Why call me Lord and not do the things that I say. God gave us free will and we abused it and make excuses. Tell somebody if they're tired don't worry showing up for work just call in sick. Sure you might have some pre deceived notion because they are tired but what are the responsibilities at their jobs if they don't show up that day. Have you weighed all the options?
Sodom and Gomorrah were two legendary biblical cities destroyed by God for their wickedness. Their story parallels the Genesis flood narrative in its theme of God's anger provoked by sin.
What's the Bible say about walking in the flesh.
Sin is a choice even by the cunning of the serpent that starts in the mind. Remember Lucifer was already an angel guarding the Throne of God and convinced 1/3 of the other angels to follow him. Satan fell like Lightning Out of Heaven. Because of Eves sin that Adam took part in God made a woman's conception sorrowful. He made for the husband to rule ove her and it appears to be some sort of a punishment. Although women will try to manipulate a man when she wants something. This is evil and rebellion. We are warned as Christians to seek a God-fearing woman and most women are not. Not an easy thing to find.
Genesis 3:16
King James Version
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
What does the Bible say about masturbation?
Galatians 5:16
King James Version
16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
"If there is no evidence of growth and good works, we have reason to doubt that salvation ever truly took place. “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:20), and a dead faith is not a saving faith."
"True faith in Christ will always lead to a changed life."
"Another common usage of the term easy believism is in regards to those who believe they’re saved because they prayed a prayer—with no real conviction of sin and no real faith in Christ. Praying a prayer is easy—thus the term easy believism—but there is more to salvation than mouthing words.
Much of the debate over easy believism is unnecessary and is based on a misunderstanding of the Scriptures."
What ruled Satan is pride. God gave him a great beauty and he was ruled by the adulation that goes with that. Just like many big stars that are loved by the world, glorified and worship by the world end up being God's enemies but thinking God gave them that position. It is enmity with God to befriend the world. Jesus said it precisely when he said you can't serve two masters because you will love one and despise the other. If God delivers you from your enslavement to such things it just takes a little taste by the cunning of the serpent and you can be back in that situation. You see Jesus said don't look back. In an ignorance of a Christian that is making everything a works issue is enticing that person that it's okay just have another taste because you're not saved by works anyways and it's all covered under the blood. Now you're into the double mindedness. It is a misunderstanding of scripture.
In my after notes the biblical Lord Jesus Christ said even looking at a woman with lust you've already committed sin in/with your mind/heart with her. A person could act off those impulses and then you get into things like abortion. And then when they back slide you tell them just pray. They fell from Grace. They are back slidden. They're back at the problem again. What is to say when you are in the afterlife if you do make it to heaven being eternal life you are not like those fallen angels. Jesus said let your ya be ya and na be na. Think about fasting which is denying yourself. "Jesus's fasting in the desert, then, would have been understood to prepare him to commune with God and to strengthen him against the devil's temptations." See setting up the notion in peoples minds that Christ paid the price and people want in without any real change or commitment on their part is scapegoating. Think of the years of pain and sorrow because of the Babylonian Captivity, also called Babylonian Exile or even when God wanted to take Jerusalem under his wing but they were not willing. Even when Moses came down the mountain there was rebellion of sin in the camp. Moses ordered that the brazen serpent be lifted up in the desert because they are being reminded of Satin and God sent a deliver. But look what eventually happened .. "According to the Book of Kings, King Hezekiah institutes an iconoclastic reform that requires the destruction of "the brazen serpent that Moses had made; for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it; and it was called Nehushtan". Its of the devil. See! Remember many Circle the desert until they died out and only who saw the Promised Land? Why? We're so easily LED astray.
No wonder the early church did not see things like modern Christians
