"Reasonableness / Mind" [OF THE FLESH / SELFISHNESS / NOT-HEART / NOT-SPIRIT] is the source of Evil?
"Reasonableness / Mind" [OF THE FLESH / SELFISHNESS / NOT-HEART, NOT-SPIRIT] is the source of Genocide?
"Reasonableness / Mind" CAUSES the Genocide of our Western "Neglect" that results in 18,000 children needlessly starving per day, for example?!??!?!? Yes of course. IT IS ENTIRELY REASONABLE TO NEGLECT "THE LEAST OF THESE" SO THAT "I CAN TAKE CARE OF "MY OWN." "
YES!
Unfortunately, such "reasonableness" is a total and entire rejection of The Almighty, of God.
Paul had much to warn us about this:
Romans 1 28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans 8 5Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6The mind of sinful man[e] is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; 7the sinful mind[f] is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so. 8Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
As Jesus told us we WILL have one of two Fathers
- Heart (the Almighty) or
- Flesh (Mammon, Devil).
