Everything about a natural man is corrupt ~
...NATURAL;
Body of flesh, from the earth
Mind/thoughts in the brain
Spirit/thoughts in the heart
Soul/in the body, from God
The WHOLE intent of God is to CHANGE the: willing man, FROM NATURAL TO Spiritual.
The WHOLE purpose for CHANGE; is so the: willing men, CAN BE WITH His SPIRIT God.
So HOW, is in Scriptural Knowledge.
Results, are in Knowledge understanding.
First belief ~ then Confession ~ by the man
Forgiveness ~ given by God.
Forgiveness FOR: disbelief & corruption
Body change, we can not see;
...dead flesh, body, crucified with Christ
...washed, with Christ's blood
Results ~
Body;
...overcome, dead to sin
...sanctified, justified, Kept with Christ.
Heart change, we can not see;
...circumcised, cutting out the old
...given a new heart
Results ~
...Heart prepared to receive Gods Spiritual Truth
Spirit change, (truth thoughts in the heart)
...given Gods Word of truth
...keep seeking and Gods Wisdom and God Understanding, also given to the hearts thoughts.
Results ~
...Spirit of man, (his truth, becomes Gods truth)
Soul change, (IS the same thoughts as the mans carnal mind).
...Saved from the MINDS corrupts thoughts
The SOUL, is FROM Gods breath.
It does not come from the earth, but rather IS from God.
It's purpose is to bring (quicken) the body into a living state.
It's purpose is to KEEP a complete record of ALL thoughts of every mans MIND.
The SOUL has the SAME identity as the mans body.
The SOUL, however BELONGS to GOD.
The SOUL, is imparted into the man, brings the BODY into a living state.
The SOUL, departs the BODY WHEN the BODY'S own life ceases living.
(The body's LIFE IS IT's BLOOD). It's BLOOD is natural out of the earth. Corrupt, and subject to naturally DIE).
The SOUL, "has" LIFE IN IT.
God is Life. ANYTHING that HAS LIFE IN IT, Has LIFE IN IT, because GOD imparted LIFE into it.
..WHEN God departs LIFE out of "something", the "THING" dies, and the LIFE goes to WHERE God Sends it.
THUS, when the BODY physically dies; the Living Soul departs the Dead Body.
(That Life, ie Living soul, goes to God in heaven, or God separated from God in hell).
When a SOUL within a man IS SAVED.
It's change IS, "restoration".
Meaning, that SOUL was given a man;
Very Good. Became corrupt. Is restored to Good.
It's not a NEW soul, but a restored soul.
It is NOW a soul that once departed from a physically dead body; SHALL go to heaven, to God.
Spirit of man change ~
...born again from a DIFFERENT Seed.
...the SEED of God
...An "UNCORRUPTABLE" SEED of God
...IS where the Spirit of God DWELLS, and FEEDS the mans Spirit in his NEW Heart.
The MIND of man ~ CHANGED by GOD?
No.
The unseen CHANGE BY God IS;
A dead body ~
...cleansed, sanctified, justified
A new heart ~
....cleansed, pure, Place where Gods Spirit indwells
A new spirit ~
...mans truth, now fed, Gods Truth.
A restored soul ~
...Gods truth, able to be received into a mans Mind.
EFFECT? RESULT?
Body, Soul, Spirit, Heart of man;
MADE; WHOLLY WHOLE HOLY and Acceptable to God; Forever God with this man and Forever this man with God.
And IS Justified to BE REDEEMED, "taken" claimed by God, on the day the Son of man, descends to the Clouds, to Call up His Church, WHO ARE, ALL men who have become made WHOLE.
And the MIND of man? Changed by God?
No.
The MIND of a living man, is still natural, and freely thinks, weighs thoughts, logically concludes, makes decisions, according to It's own will.
It makes business decisions, contracts, decides where to live, what job to hold, whom to marry, what car to buy, what to eat, what to study, blah, blah...
However what the MIND ALSO HAS, IS Gods "INDWELLING" influence. The TOOLS, so to speak, OF WHAT THINGS a man CAN USE to mold and shape his OWN MIND.
The man has the THOUGHTS in His Heart, being FED, by the Spirit of God.
The man has such thoughts in his heart, that HAVE the POWER to "influence" the thoughts of HIS MIND.
It is simply a matter OF: a man freely choosing to:
Listening to his MIND, that can conjure up deceit, lies, cheating, sneaking, etc.
....and saying hey, I'll take the risk of not getting caught, and hope to benefit by acting on such thoughts.
OR
Listening to his spirit in his Heart, saying come on dude, NOTHING is secret to God,
There is no HOPE or Peace in corruption.
Everything you desire, can be fulfilled rightly, without deceit, lying, cheating, etc.
Yield your foolish MIND to the thoughts of your spirit in heart. Do things according to Gods "precepts", and YOU have mastered overcoming your own corrupt MINDFUL thoughts.
Gods "precepts" are found "WITHIN" Jewish Laws, IN Scripture.
A saved and born again man; IS NOT subject to the LAW itself, required to follow it, and NOT is such man "accounted as committing a sin" for NOT following such "precepts".
However a man WHO DOES, (use the tools) God provided, TO a saved and born again man,.....what IS the result, WHEN a man DOES DO Gods "precepts" ?
The result is;
...that man has overcome HIS OWN CARNAL MIND.
...that man is now called Walking Spiritually in Perfection.
...that man is now PREPARED to serve God;
ACCORDING to Gods Ways.
...that man now, doing WORKS, that Glorifiy God.
...that man now, is having a record of his glorifying works reported, recorded TO GOD.
...such records, are now Gods evidence, of WHICH, and HOW MANY blessings that man shall receive, while still existing ON Earth.
...such records, are not Gods evidence, of
WHICH, and HOW MANY "rewards" God SHALL given that man; IN His KINGDOM.
Every naturally born living man ~
IS; recorded in the Book of Life, and subject TO being blotted out.
Every naturally born living man WHO becomes forgiven, saved, born again ~
IS; recorded in the Book of Life, and NOT subject TO being blotted out.
IS; recorded in the LAMBS Book of Life;
Containing the names of the Reconcilled and Justified; to be Redeemed and called up to the Son of men, to the clouds; on the day; only He can OPEN the books.
Blessings given a man ON EARTH...
...are given the saved and unsaved.
...but they are not always the SAME blessings.
And hardships (tribulations) effect both the saved and unsaved man ON EARTH.
The difference IS;
A saved and born again man HAS a comforter to comfort the man during Harships.
I suppose an unsaved man, leans on the World to comfort him, or drowns in his misery.
Many are taught...be saved, be born again...
WITHOUT the knowledge of what exactly that means. Thus many continue USING their Carnal Mind ... for everything.
Everyday business.....AND trying to figure out Spiritual Understanding...which IS a colossal
FAIL.
God IS Spirt. Everything about God is Spirit;
His Word, His Actions, His Knowledge, His Wisdom, His Understanding; etc...
God makes ALL the necessary changes within a man for the man to BE with Him forever...
And the man himself, CAN or NOT, mold his own Carnal Mind to be subject TO; the thoughts of his spirit, in his new heart, being Fed by Gods Spirit......and reap the rewards thereof....giving the man FOR his own efforts To mold his mind, subjecting his mind, TO the thoughts of his new spirit.
And when such a man DOES subject his own carnal mind to the thoughts of his new spirit;
The man is walking perfecting in the Spirit of God.
The man has accomplished; Having a MIND, like Christ.
The man CAN accomplish Glorifying God though the mans WORKS.
Believe, become forgiven, saved and born again. Short and sweet teaching.
The understanding is more complicated, order, and routinely unknown, and not understood.
God Bless,
