The flesh has many outlets, which are hostile to God, and which cannot possibly please Him. God has revealed unto us how truly worthless those of the flesh are; wherein Many say Lord, Lord in many wonderful works (Mat 7:22); However God will profess that He never knew them: So they are commanded to depart from Him, because they are in �their own� works of iniquity, in His name [doing �their own� will and saying it is the will of God]. (7:23-22). This is why hearing HOW to do His words by His will is of vital importance (7:24).
Many are in the broad way that leads them to destruction (7:13); FEW can find THE NARROW WAY that leads to life (7:14 with Jn 14:6). Hearing without this is foolishness (Mat 7:26). For the wind and the rain are going to be beating upon this foolish house [of God], until it falls: And what a great fall (7:27-26). These fallen households of believers, who are as dogs and swine, are astonished by this doctrine (7:28 and 6). For they did not Ask to enter in; but instead they were asking for whatever (7:7, 11, 13).
What are you seeking after FIRST, so that you could have whatsoever given unto you? (6:33-32). In �your own will�, you cannot serve God, who you hate, because you love another master (6:24). IF you are this evil, you are full of darkness; and if you say that this is light [which so many do], you are in gross darkness (6:23); Rather you should be full of light (6:22). This is why we are to be praying to be delivered from this evil, which leads us to temptation (6:13); Wherein we are to be into His will be done on earth as it is in heaven (6:10).
These can be perfect as the Father in heaven (5:48). Anything more than yes or no is of evil (5:37). Why are you making oaths, which you cannot perform? (5:36, 33); RE: husband and wife (5:32). Clearly love between married couples is NOT considered an offense to those who are of this world, which are into this way that is of the world. Nevertheless getting a license from the state to be joined together to �please ourselves� is very offensive to God.
Offending others: There are many things that offend all, which come from those few master Bible teachers (Jm 3:2-1). For there are many offenses in the free gift unto justification (Rom 5:16); For within justification by grace, [not the law] we have the offence of the Cross/gospel (Gal 5:4, 11). Offending God: Jesus was delivered unto death for our offences (Rom 4:25); Which offence abounds (5:19); And we offend when we are in baal/husband (Hos 13:1); Wherein sin abounds (Rom 5:20); This sin reigns unto death (5:21). Can we continue in this sin, so that grace would abound? No! (6:1-2).
Rather, we are to walk in newness of life (6:4). We need to be made free from this sin (6:7). We need to be dead to this sin (6:11). Note that this sin reigns through lusts, when we are under the law [of men] instead of being under grace [God working] (6:12, 14). Rather than being the servants of this sin, we should be in obedience to the doctrine of God (6:17); Wherein we are to be made free from this sin (6:18). Which sin has us after a man, who is in the infirmity of his flesh into iniquity unto iniquity (6:19).
Those who are in this sin should be ashamed of the things that they are doing (6:20-21). Are you under the dominion of the law of a baal/husband? (7:1-2); We need to be free from this law (7:3); We need to be dead to this law (7:4); We need to be delivered from this law, especially if we are going to serve in newness of spirit (7:6). In this law, we know the lust of possessiveness (7:7). Which occasion is against the commandment through concupiscence within its sin revival (7:8-9).
Men need to be delivered from this captivity [of human performance rather than waiting upon God to perform], which has them at WAR with their spouse (7:24-23). Don�t be in this law of sin (7:25). Be made free from this law of sin unto death (8:2). For this sin is in the flesh; and after the walk of the flesh (8:4-5).What reward can you have for loving those who love you, if you cannot perform? (5:46, 33). Cut this out, unless you want to end up in hell (5:30). Listen to this: Thou shalt not commit adultery, but I am saying that you ARE committing adultery, when you are in lust, which YOU say is love by what �You� can do (Matt 5:27-28, and 46).
To love as Jesus loved [which is way above what �we� can do] (Eph 5:2), is the righteousness that exceeds the righteousness of the Pharisees (Mat 5:20); And this we can do, because Jesus has fulfilled the law (5:17). Are you shining this light, which is the good work that people need to see/understand?? (5:16).
"Even in that case of lifeless things that make sounds, such as the flute or the harp, how will anyone know what is being played unless there is a distinction in the notes? Again, if the trumpet does not sound a clear call, who will get ready for battle? So it is with you unless you speak intelligible words with your tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will just the speaking into the air. Undoubtedly there are all sorts of languages in the world yet none of them is without meaning. If then I do not grasp the meaning of what someone is saying, I am a foreigner to the speaker, and he is a foreigner to me. So it is with you. Since you are eager to have spiritual gifts, try to excel in gifts that build up the church.....If you are praising God with your spirit, how can one who finds himself among those who do not understand say "Amen"...since he does not know what you are saying?....But I would rather speak five intelligible words to instruct others than ten thousand words in a tongue."
