| Lesson 51: The Law Of The Old That Is Covered In The New Testament: Putting Away Evil 3/14/2014 by turtle Matthew 15:16-20 KJV (16) And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding? (17) Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? (18) But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. (19) For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: (20) These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man. Correction of God is often in more areas then sexual sin, or disrespecting a parent, or even desiring something of your neighbor, or even killing. It also has to do with what comes out of the heart. Someone in emotional, spiritual or physical pain will often cuss, and even blasphemy the name of the Lord. These things defile us spiritually as well as outwardly among people. Though cussing can be expression it is vulgar one. Yet most time in today’s society certain words are over looked outside the church world. It part of the lingo. Evil thoughts pour out, evilness pouring out in form of expression. Evil being nasty, degradable, something not lovely, or clean. Something not respectable no matter the society. No one ever tells a person cussing that despicable, or unwholesome. They accept it as a free expression, not ever giving much thought tell it slips from their own mouth. False witness, premeditated murder, adultery and so forth was listed in the verses above. All these things having to do with harming of someone. Harming because of evil intentions. Words that are vile, sin is vile, and yet people laugh at evil. Never realizing it express hurt within a person, a pain that emotionally, spiritually or physically scarred. The result of sin causing suffering in another individual. People say what does it matter, we all go through something. Yet it is our response that make people not to want to be around some people. People want to be around uplifting people, people with a smile all the time and not upside down frown. One stays in the dirt to long people will leave you in the dirt pile. Now if a garden in that dirt with sunny flowers they will stay around you, but it full of weeds and thistles they will leave you. No one can be around another person torment, without it rubbing off on them. Consider this that not whether or not you use soap deters people but what comes out of your heart makes people abandon you. Make sure what in your mouth is wholesome. And fit for the Lord Jesus use. Dear Heavenly Father teach us how to speak, how to think and how to socialize with others. Remove the sin that outwardly defiles us. In Jesus precious name, Amen. http;//www.turtle30cshell.com _ |
