“
… the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity,
sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions,
factions, envying,
drunkenness, carousing, and things like these …”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB).
“... But if through the power of the Spirit (the indwelling Holy Spirit) you [choose to]... put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. For
all who are led by the Spirit of God (the indwelling Holy Spirit) are children
of God…” (Romans
8:1-14 NLT).
*
The PERSONALITY and the
IDENTITY is formed from early childhood. All people are born
with the same NATURE (sinful) with particular temperaments or propensities.
Nobody is born with a personality and
identity, but they start FORMING in and through early life experiences.
Personality and identity GROWS, DEVELOPS,
and FORMS or SHAPES people into unique individuals as they repeat certain behaviors
over and over within their life experiences.
The body of flesh and the FIVE SENSES were
given to help mankind engage, interact, and experience being a “LIVING SOULS”
who was meant to develop, grow, and form or shape them into healthy spiritual personalities
and identities within God’s GOOD created world.
The EVIL ONE USED the body of flesh and
its five senses to KILL, STEAL, and DESTROY the relationship between the LIVING
SOUL and the Holy Spirit.
The “LIVING” soul DIED spiritually,
immediately, and was left to grow, develop, and form or shape their personalities and identities within a
world that was NOW under the POWER of the
EVIL ONE; without the indwelling Holy
Spirit.
The personalities and identities, of
mankind, became tainted and DSYFUNCTIONAL.
Information, put into the heart, that is
responsible for growing, developing, forming personality and identity was LEARNED from the things of the world -
under the power of the EVIL ONE.
Being in a world, under the power of the EVIL ONE, has completely impacted the
character traits, decisions, and identity of mankind.
Most of a person’s daily activities form, shape
and mold their personalities and
identities which EMERGE within routine situations that one is consistently
exposed to.
The routine situations that one is consistently
exposed to allows them to learn formations
of behavior that empower them to reach necessary or desirable goals.
The formations
of behavior that empower people to reach necessary or desirable goals are
usually repeated over and over again. It is the repetition of particular
behaviors, within, various environments, stable or unstable, that personality
and identity FORMS or SHAPES,
Under
the power of the EVIL ONE ALL, formations of behaviors that are learned
through the body
of flesh and its five senses and are practiced
over a lifetime become unchanging parts of the personality and identity.
The unchanging parts of personality and
identity will influence how a person internalizes values, makes decisions, develops
character traits, and create individuality that eventually become amazingly stable
over time.
Personalities
and identities that grow, develop, and form
or shape through the body of flesh and its senses not only produce formations of behavior, but also formations of mental processes too.
Formations
of mental processes is the consistent,
stable way a person thinks, which is also a result of their early childhood
experiences and has an POWERFUL influence over personality, identity, and the formations of behavior that empower them
both.
Formations
of behavior and formations of mental processes are POWERFULLY enduring and are uniquely
second nature to every individual. “…I am
the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything
too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 KJV).
These LEARNED ways of
being and doing, which is heavily influenced by one’s NATURE/ temperament, are
impossible to change. However, behavior can change or be modified, but one’s
BEING, which involves one’s NATURE/ temperament, cannot. “….I was
born a sinner ….” (Psalms 51:5 NLT). “...I want to do
what is right, but I can’t.
I want to do what is
good, but I don’t. …I [am] …a slave
to the sin (nature) …” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “…For all have sinned (all have the flesh nature)…”
(Romans 3:23 KJV). “…all have ... come
short of the glory of God (all are born WITHOUT the indwelling Holy Spirit)…”
(Romans 3:23 KJV).
Formations
of behavior and formations of mental processes are POWERFULLY enduring and you
cannot CHANGE your NATURE/ temperament, but you can be DELIVERED from it. “…Who
will free me from this life that is dominated by SIN (nature) …” (Romans
7:14-25 NLT).
DELIVERANCE from the SINFUL NATURE is impossible
without God. “…The things which are
impossible with men are possible with God…” (Luke 18:27 KJV).“…I
want to do what is right, but I
can’t. I want to do what is good…” (Romans 7:14-25 NLT). “…Who will free me from this life that is dominated by SIN …” (Romans
7:14-25 NLT). “…Thank God! The answer is in Jesus Christ our Lord…”
(Romans 7:14-25 NLT).
God’s SOLUTION: “… Be transformed by the renewing of your mind….”
(Romans 12:2 KJV).
“...letting your sinful nature
control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control
your mind leads to life and
peace...” (Romans 8:5-7
NLT).
“…The sinful nature (flesh) wants
to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the [Holy] Spirit wants ...These TWO FORCES are constantly fighting
each other, so you are not FREE to carry out your good intentions...”
(Galatians 5 NLT).
The CONDITIONING of personalities and identities developed
by the body of
flesh, through the SENSES is when a lifetime of practice and shaping
become habitual responses to life experiences.
This CONDITIONING that
grew, developed, and formed personality
and identity WILL continue to maintain
and sustain its influence through the formations
of behavior and formations of mental
processes of God’s redeemed people. “…so you (the redeemed) are not FREE to carry out your good intentions...”
(Galatians 5 NLT).
“…The sinful nature (is CRUCIFIED, but through its formations of behavior and formations of mental processes)
wants to do evil
...”
(Galatians 5 NLT).
“ … the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality,
impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions,
factions, envying,
drunkenness, carousing, and things like these …”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB).
The body of flesh and
its five senses, without the indwelling
Holy Spirit, is a SINFUL NATURE/temperament.
The body of flesh and
its senses, without the indwelling Holy
Spirit, is a SINFUL NATURE/temperament totally UNDER the POWER (influence) of the EVIL ONE.
The body of flesh and
its senses, without the indwelling Holy
Spirit, is a SINFUL NATURE/ temperament, that leads MANKIND to commit many
“deeds of the flesh” through their personalities and identities that are
empowered, continue, and are influenced by the enduring and unchanging formations of behavior and formations of mental processes.
What about all the GOOD
people in the world? Remember, the sinful nature/temperament is NOT simply what
you DO, but it is who you ARE by NATURE or BIRTH.
Formations
of behavior and formations of mental processes can include LEARNED kindnesses,
decency, caring and moral ethics, but these too have been influence by the EVIL
ONE. “…There
is not a just man upon earth, that
doeth good, and sinneth not…” (Ecclesiastes 7:20 KJV). “...there is “NONE” good but one, that is,
God” (Nahum 1:7 & Mark 10:18 KJV). “…[god,
the holy spirit]... is GOOD…”
(Psalm 107:1 KJV). “…There is none righteous, no, not one:”
(Romans 3:10 KJV). “…ALL HAVE SINNED and fallen short of the glory of God…” (Romans 3:23).
GOOD, without the indwelling Holy Spirit, comes from a world TOTALLY UNDER the POWER of
the EVIL ONE and his LIES. “…he (the evil one) is a liar and the father
of lies…” (John 8:44 NASB). “...there
is “NONE” good but one, that is,
God” (Nahum 1:7 & Mark 10:18 KJV). “… [ALL have become]…..unclean and [their
so-called] righteousnesses
(efforts to do good is) as filthy rags….” (Isaiah 64:6 KJV).
“…Apart from [the Holy
Spirit]… [mankind cannot]... do nothing [they cannot be GOOD]…” (John 15:5 NIV).
“…All he DOES (God,
the Holy Spirit DOES) is just and GOOD...” (PSALMS 111:7 NLT). One
of “…The fruit of the
Spirit is ... GOODness
…” (Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). "....The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives …” (Galatians 5 NLT).
Formations
of behavior and formations of mental processes are LEARNED from the EVIL ONE’s
world and it teaches people to be “ETHICAL” and “MORAL” but NOT righteous or
holy.
It is easy to THINK and
BELIEVE a “ETHICAL” and “MORAL” man or woman would surely get into heaven;
right?
What about the RICH MAN
in the bible. He was an “ETHICAL” and “MORALLY” upright man. He was even
religiously devote and behaved according to God’s commandment. He knew about
the commandments, but ONE DAY he asked Jesus what he needed to do to be SAVED. “...As Jesus started
on his way, a [rich]...man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him.
“Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” ... (Matthew 10:17-22 NIV).
Jesus
complimented the rich man on his knowledge of the commandments. “...You know the
commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall
not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor
your father and mother...” (Matthew 10:17-22 NIV).
The rich
man boasted on his “ETHICAL” and “MORAL” goodness in keeping on God’s commands. “... “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I
was a boy...” (Matthew 10:17-22 NIV).
The rich
man sounded like a “GOOD” man. Not many truly redeemed people could boast of
keeping God’s commandment since they were a young child, but he did. Yet, in
spite of his “ETHICAL” and “MORAL” behavior Jesus said he LACKED something. “...Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you
lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will
have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this the [rich]...man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he
had great wealth...” (Matthew 10:17-22 NIV).
I don’t
know if this is the same rich man or not, but he had great wealth too, and ONE
DAY he died without SALVATION.“...There
was a certain rich man, which was clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared
sumptuously every day: And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, which was
laid at his gate, full of sores, And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which
fell from the rich man's table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. And it came to pass, that the beggar died,
and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and
was buried; And in hell he lift
up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his
bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham,
have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in
water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime
receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented...” (Luke 16:19-22 NIV).
The rich
man sounded like a “ETHICAL” and “MORAL” person who might have been considered
a “GOOD” person upon earth, especially since he behaved according to God’s
commandments.
Yet, he
too, needed SALVATION, which PROVES it is NOT what you DO, his “ethical and
moral deeds” were just “ethical and moral deeds.” His ethical and moral
behavior didn’t earn him anything, make him specially deserving of anything, or
make him worthy of anything particular. The reality is: “…There is not a just man
upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not…”
(Ecclesiastes 7:20 KJV).
The rich
man needed SALVATION because of WHO he WAS by NATURE. "…That
which is born of the flesh is flesh…”
(John 3:6 KJV). “….I was born a sinner —yes, from the moment my mother conceived me….” (Psalms 51:5 NLT).
“…all have
sinned (all have been born with a sin nature)…” (Romans 3:23
KJV). “…all have ... come short of the glory of God
(all are born missing or WITHOUT the indwelling Holy Spirit)…”
(Romans 3:23 KJV).
Thus, it was NOT what
the rich man DID, but it was WHO he was by NATURE. “….I was born a sinner ...”
(Psalms 51:5 NLT). The consequences for having a
SINFUL NATURE, even for the “ethical and moral” rich man is spiritual DEATH. “…the wages of sin (the payment for having a sin nature) is
death…” (Romans 6:23 KJV).
Formations
of behavior and formations of mental processes LEARNED from the EVIL ONE’s world
and teaches people to be “ETHICAL” and “MORAL” according to societal standards will
NOT “SAVE” them.
“ETHICAL” and “MORAL”
actions are empowered by the ones “OWN” efforts whereas the “FRUIT” of
“GOODNESS” is produced and empowered by
the indwelling Holy Spirit.
It is “NOT” what people
Do, it is WHO they are by NATURE; a lost
soul. “…The Son of man (God’s PLAN of SALVATION)
came to seek and to save THAT WHICH WAS LOST…”
(Luke 19:10 KJV).
The rich man DID many
ethical and moral deeds, but Jesus pointed out that BEING truly “ethical and
moral” was MORE IMPORTANT. “… [ALL have
become]…..unclean and [their o-called] righteousnesses (efforts to do good is) as filthy rags….”
(Isaiah 64:6 KJV).
“…Apart from [the Holy
Spirit]… [the rich man could not]... do nothing [he could “not” BE GOOD]…” (John 15:5 NIV).
One of “…The fruit of the Spirit is ... GOODness …”
(Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). "....The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives …” (Galatians 5 NLT).
“…I can do all things
(produce the fruit of goodness) through Christ which strengtheneth me…” (Philippians 4:13
KJV).
“... For it is God
who worketh in you..”
(Philippians 2:13 KJV).
God’s commandments also
said: “...If you help the poor, you are lending
to the Lord— and he will repay
you...” (Proverbs 19:17 NLT). “...Blessed are those who are generous, because they feed the poor...” (Proverbs 22:9 NLT). “...Whoever gives to the poor will lack nothing, but those
who close their eyes to poverty will be cursed...” (Proverbs 28:27 NLT). “...If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s
love be in that person? Dear children, let’s not merely
say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions...” (1 John 3:17-18 NLT).
With a NEW NATURE what
you DO and WHO you are will MATCH.“...Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you
lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will
have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this the [rich]...man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he
had great wealth...” (Matthew 10:17-22 NIV).
“ … the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality,
impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions,
factions, envying,
drunkenness, carousing, and things
like these
…” (Galatians 5:20-22 NASB).
“...Look here, you
rich people: Weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles
ahead of you... This ... treasure you have hoarded will testify against you on the day of judgment...” (James 5:1-3 NLT). “...
And he (the RICH MAN) cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and
send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my
tongue; for I am tormented in
this flame. But Abraham said, Son,
remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented...” (Luke 16:19-22 NIV).
The RICH MAN said: “... “Teacher,” he
declared, “all these I have
kept since I was a boy...” (Matthew 10:17-22 NIV). “…The flesh
(ethical and moral behavior) profiteth nothing…” (John 6:63
KJV). “…Human effort (ethical and moral behavior) accomplishes nothing….”
(John 6:63 NLT). “…If I bestow all my goods to feed the poor (ethical or moral behavior), and if
I give my body to be burned (ethical or moral behavior), but have not love (God is LOVE and SPIRIT), IT PROFITETH ME
NOTHING…” (1 Corinthians 13:2-3 ASV).
“…
[ALL have become]…..unclean and [their so-called] righteousnesses (efforts to do good is) as
filthy rags….” (Isaiah 64:6 KJV).
One of “…The fruit of the Spirit is ... GOODness …”
(Galatians 5:22-23 KJV). "....The Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives …” (Galatians 5 NLT).
“…Apart from [the Holy
Spirit]… [the rich man or YOU could not]... do nothing [he or YOU could “not”
BE GOOD]…” (John 15:5 NIV).
“…There
is not a just man (or woman) upon earth, that
doeth good, and sinneth not…” (Ecclesiastes 7:20 KJV). “...there is “NONE” good but one, that is,
God” (Nahum 1:7 & Mark 10:18 KJV).
Formations
of behavior and formations of mental processes LEARNED from the EVIL ONE’s world also teach people to practice sinful
lifestyles that are EVIDENT by what they DO.
“ … the deeds of the flesh are evident…”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB).“... immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery,
enmities, strife,
jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things
like these
…” (Galatians 5:20-22 NASB).
“...
immorality,
impurity, sensuality
...and things like these …”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB).
“...
idolatry,
sorcery, enmities
...and things like these …”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB).
“... strife,
jealousy, outbursts of anger ...and things like these …”

“... Then the king
said to his aides, ‘Bind his hands and feet and throw him into the outer
darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’...” (Matthew 22:12-14
NLT).
“.... And
it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into
Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth
Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And
he cried and said ...I am tormented in
this flame. But Abraham said, Son,
remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise
Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented...” (Luke 16:19-22 NIV).“...Those cities were destroyed by fire and serve as a warning of the eternal fire of
God’s judgment...” (Jude 1 NLT).
“... These things happened as a warning to us, so that we would not
crave evil things as they did, or worship idols as some of them did ...These
things happened to them as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age...” (1 Corinthians 10:9-11 NLT).
“ … the deeds of the flesh are evident…”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB). “... I forewarn you ... that those who
practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God...” (Galatians 5:19-21 NASB).
“...
immorality,
impurity, sensuality
...and things like these …”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB). These kind of
sinful practices include adultery, fornication, and uncleanness. Formations of behavior and formations of mental processes LEARNED from the EVIL ONE’s world, justifies or condones having sex outside of marriage, with a married
person, single person, same sex person, bestiality, with the lusts of the eyes
through pornography, prostitutes (male or female), lusts of the flesh, whore-mongering
(male or female), incest, rape, sexually abusing another, or any other form of
sexual perversion. It also includes apostasy or unfaithfulness to God with
idols (people or things). In addition, all immoral behavior is anything in
opposition of purity and holiness, including impure thoughts.
“...
idolatry,
sorcery, enmities
...and things like these …”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB). These kind of
sinful practices include lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, and hatred. Formations of behavior and formations of mental processes LEARNED from the EVIL ONE’s world, justifies or condones improper actions or

Improper communication could be expressed in how you dress, especially in ways
that could induce impure or lustful thoughts and feelings toward you from
another person.
The worship of idols,
which is anything (object), or activity, or images, or persons you have
excessive, blind or reverent devotion to or for other than keeping your focus upon

money, or your appearance.
The practice of magic
using demonic forces or evil spirits that engage you in the dark arts - such as
sorcery, incantations, casting spells, enchantments, using charms, voodoo, or
potions- whether the intentions are good or to hurt someone.
Hatred is having an
intense dislike or hostility toward a person or group of persons. Hatred causes
people to be bitter, hold grudges, be unreasonably angry, have a desire to hurt
or murder, and harbor ill-will against a person or a group of persons. Murder
can be actual or within one’s heart.
“..
strife,
jealousy, outbursts of anger... and things like these …”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB). These kind of
sinful practices include variance, emulations, and wrath. Formations of behavior and formations
of mental processes LEARNED from the
EVIL ONE’s world, justifies or condones
being intentionally quarrelsome, argumentative, disagreeable, difficult to get
along with, and the initiater of most conflict or strife (drama king or queen).
Unbridled rivalry in
one’s private or social life is expressed in the way a person competitively
strives to excel at someone else’s expense,
or how they copy off of someone in order to be like them or be better, or how
they resent a rival, or their dislike of a person enjoying their success or
advantages, or how they demonstrate jealousy with the intent to harm another
person (malice) physically or emotionally.
Having a lasting,
enduring, or fierce anger, against another, to the degree you act it out by
getting revenge or harming this person. Whether your wrath is justifiable or a
perceived wrong doing toward you, vengeance and punishment it all you can THINK
about DOING.
“... disputes, dissensions, factions, envying
...and things like these …”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB). These kind of
sinful practices include strife, seditions, heresies, and envying. Formations of behavior and formations of mental processes LEARNED from the EVIL ONE’s world, justifies or condones always being in opposition
with one person or a group of people with the intention to hurt them using
words or action to inflict emotional or physical pain. Hatred and wrath is a
vital part of strife, especially when one competes with someone or a group of
people for superiority, advantage, or selfish gain.
Causing trouble or
constant rebellious disorder of any kind at home, work, in the community, within
the family, or among friends is sedition.
Intentionally creating
division in the religious communities in order to hurt others or to elevate
one’s religious position, intelligence or knowledge over others. Heresies, also
reject established doctrine by replacing it with false doctrine that severely
conflict with biblical views of the faith.
Being discontent to the
point of coveting (envying) another person or group of people’s successes,
advantages, material possessions, spiritual possessions, or prosperities and
wishing them ill-will, especially if you think you are more deserving than they
are.
“...
drunkenness, carousing

Becoming rowdy, unruly
and loud during events or festivals just for the heck of it by indulging in
rioting, partying to an offensive extreme, possibly breaking the law, going on
drunken rampages, destroying property, or letting loose of all morals or
inhibitions regardless of how it affects one person or a group of people.
“..
and things like these …”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB). “... “Teacher,” he
declared, “all these (ethical and moral rules and regulations) I have kept since I was a boy...” (Matthew 10:17-22
NIV). This kind of sinful practice includes
thinking more highly of yourself than you should. Formations of behavior and formations
of mental processes LEARNED from the
EVIL ONE’s world, justifies or condones
that being “ETHICAL” or “MORAL” is a sign you are better than others who are
NOT ethical or moral, because you are VIEWED as one of the “GOOD” people, upon
earth, compared to others.
“… Jesus told this story to some who had
great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned
everyone else: “Two men went to the
Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector.
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer: ‘I thank
you, God, that I am not like other people—cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m
certainly not like that tax collector! I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’ “But the
tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as
he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to
me, for I am a sinner.’ I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified
before God. For those who exalt
themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted…”
(Luke 18:9-14 NLT).
“…There
is not a just man (or woman) upon earth, that
doeth good, and sinneth not…” (Ecclesiastes 7:20 KJV). “...there is “NONE” good but one, that is,
God” (Nahum 1:7 & Mark 10:18 KJV).
“…do not
think of yourself more highly than you ought…” (Romans 12:3
NIV). “… there
is none
good but one, that is, God”
(Mark 10:18 KJV).
“ … the deeds of the flesh are evident…”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB). “... I forewarn you ... that those who
practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God...” (Galatians 5:19-21 NASB).
“... Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness ... the one who practices sin is of the devil ... No one who is born of God practices
sin...” (1 John 3:7-10
NASB).
“ … the deeds of the flesh are evident…”
(Galatians 5:20-22 NASB).
“...By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of GOD..” (1 John 3:7-10 NASB).
