DIFERENÇA ENTRE VIDA ETERNA E REINO (24) - O SÉTIMO MANDAMENTO, O PECADO E A TENTAÇÃO (PARTE 2)

Understanding the Difference Between Kingdom and Eternal Life

In this video, the speaker continues discussing the difference between the kingdom and eternal life. The focus is on the Seventh Commandment, geena of fire in the Millennium, and the implications of looking at a woman with impure intentions.

Implications of Looking with Impure Intentions

• Looking at a woman with impure intentions starts the process of temptation.

• The intention in one's heart is crucial, as Jesus emphasizes in Matthew 5.

• Understanding the origin and process of this type of evil helps resist it.

• Adultery is not just about committing an act but also begins in the heart.

The Detailed Treatment of Adultery by God

• God's treatment of adultery goes beyond what the Pharisees or Jewish authorities believed.

• Jesus describes how this sin starts with intentional looking.

• Consequences for disciples who are children of God are significant.

Understanding Temptation and its Process

• Identifying the source of evil thoughts and desires is important.

• Temptation often begins involuntarily but can be difficult to repress.

• Contemplating something with desire leads to grabbing it despite consequences.

• James 1:13 explains that each person is tempted by their own desires.

The Role of Coveting and Lustful Desires

• Coveting generates controlling desires for things or people not determined by God.

• Lustful desires arise when our eyes contemplate something that triggers them.

• Making a covenant with our eyes can help prevent falling into sin.

The Law of Sin Operating in Our Members

• The law of sin always visits us through our members (body parts).

• It generates sinful desires that go against what God has determined.

The Process from Temptation to Sin

• Each person is tempted by their own covetous desires.

• When desire is awakened, it starts tempting us towards what sin desires.

• If we resist during the short incubation period, we can avoid falling into sin.

• However, if desire is not resisted and agreement is given, sin is conceived.

The Consequences of Sin

• Once sin is consummated, it leads to death.

• The wages of sin are death according to Romans 6:23.

Jesus' Insight on the Process from Intention to Sin

This section explores how Jesus addresses the process from intention to sin. It highlights the role of intention and how giving consent leads to the birth of sin.

Jesus' Understanding of the Process

• Jesus points out that everything begins with intention and looking with intent.

• If a person resists temptation and does not give consent, they would not have sinned.

Influence of Material Objects on Physical Organs

• Sins like these often arise from material objects influencing our physical organs.

• These objects transmit impressions that inflame our souls.

Conclusion

The speaker concludes by summarizing the process described by James and Paul. They emphasize that sins like adultery start with intention and looking with intent. Giving consent leads to the birth of sin, which ultimately results in death as its consequence.

The Concept of "Flesh" in Human Nature

This section discusses the concept of "flesh" in human nature and its association with sin. It explains how sin is transmitted from Adam and how it influences the soul and body.

Understanding the Concept of "Flesh"

• The fallen nature of humanity is referred to as "flesh."

• The sinful nature resides in the flesh, which seduces the soul.

• The personality of a person becomes defined as flesh when it is completely subjected to sinful impulses.

• The soul and body are intimately associated, with the soul responding to sinful impulses from the body.

The Three Parts of Human Nature

This section explores the three parts of human nature - spirit, soul, and body - and their relationship to each other.

Differentiating Spirit, Soul, and Body

• A person is composed of spirit, soul, and body.

• The spirit is where God's Spirit dwells in believers.

• The innermost part of a believer's being is referred to as the "man on the inside."

• The outer part that undergoes wear and tear is called the "man on the outside."

Understanding Man's Inner Being

This section delves into man's inner being by examining the distinction between the inner man (spirit) and outer man (soul and body).

Inner Man vs. Outer Man

• The inner man refers to a believer's spirit inhabited by God's Spirit.

• The outer man encompasses both soul and body.

• Even in believers, there remains a residual fallen nature inherited from Adam.

• While a believer's spirit is alive due to God's Spirit dwelling within them, their soul can still respond to sinful impulses.

The Relationship Between the Inner and Outer Man

This section explores the relationship between the inner man (spirit) and outer man (soul and body), highlighting how they interact in salvation and temptation.

Interaction of Inner and Outer Man

• The inner man is surrounded by the outer man, consisting of the soul and body.

• In believers, the soul partially experiences the life of God's Spirit in their spirit.

• Due to the fallen nature, the soul can still respond to sinful impulses from the body.

• Temptation arises when external stimuli stimulate sinful desires within a person.

Understanding the Relationship Between Spirit, Soul, and Body

In this section, the speaker discusses the relationship between spirit, soul, and body in relation to sin and the fallen nature of humanity.

The Nature of Fallen Humanity

• The speaker explains that even believers have a fallen nature inherited from Adam.

• The body is influenced by sin and its desires, while the soul responds to these sinful impulses.

• The soul encompasses the faculties of the mind, will, and emotions.

• The fallen nature of humanity is characterized by being dominated by sin.

The Distinction Between Spirit, Soul, and Body

• The speaker emphasizes that humans are composed of spirit, soul, and body.

• The spirit refers to the innermost part of a person where God's Spirit dwells.

• The soul includes the mind, will, and emotions and can still respond to sinful impulses.

• The body is influenced by sin and its desires.

Understanding the Inner Man

• The "man interior" refers to the union between a believer's human spirit and the Holy Spirit.

• This inner man is distinct from the outer man or physical body.

• Both believers and unbelievers have an outer man (body) but only believers have an inner man (spirit).
