Hello @Elihoenai,

All I need to know is how the Scriptures use the word, 'mortify': the video illustration was enough to put me off watching the video, I did not want more of the same.

In Christ Jesus

Unadvisedly you are engaged in censorship. When we post, it is for Elohim/God, so that all members and non-members can read and assess the content for themselves.

Indeed, hold fast to the Scriptures!

The Bible reveals the mind of God, the state of man, the way of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true and its decisions are immutable.

Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to cheer you.

It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter. Here Paradise is gained, Heaven opened, and hell disclosed.

Christ is its grand object, our good its design, and the glory of God its end. It shall fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly, frequently and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure.

It is given you in life, will be opened in the judgment and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, promises the highest reward for labor, and condemns all who trifle with its sacred contents.

Nice bit of cut and paste. I heard a preacher quote this about 40 years ago.

I love the way you think!

A Good Minister of Jesus Christ
…But reject irreverent and silly myths. Instead, train yourself for godliness. For physical exercise is of limited value, but godliness is valuable in every way, holding promise for the present life and for the one to come. This is a trustworthy saying, worthy of full acceptance.…
