How
Judgment works
|
|
HEART/SPIRIT
& SOUL
|
|
Your heart/spirit
relates strongly:
So it relates vertically,
relates to those you consider
higher than you:
Authority
figure(s) you greatly respect.
Someone you’re
infatuated with.
But,
notably, to God.
, , , , Hence:
spiritual songs, spiritual prayers, etc.

Whereas your soul relates weakly:
So it relates to anyone:
Sometimes,
vertically, to God.
But usually,
horizontally, to other people.
, , , , Hence: soul
music, soul mate, life & soul of the party.

|

|
Functionally speaking:
Your heart/spirit is:
your central
area, the inner you, the real you.
Your soul is:
your outer area,
the outer you, the not quite you.
|
|
|
 heart/spirit
soul
Soul = mind + emotions
+ cultures.
(Perhaps see earlier webpage:
The spirit & the soul.), , , , ,
|
|
.
|
|
It should be:
the heart/spirit controls the soul
which, in turn, does everything,
|
|
|
heart/spirit action/behaviour arrow soul
outside world
|
|
which
happens in believers who have renewed their minds.
, In which case the grey area would be changing to pale grey or
white.
|
|
But, in unbelievers:
The heart/spirit does little,
expresses itself little, or not at all.
The soul produces most behaviour, expresses itself the most
(its input & output being to
& from the world around it).

FLESH, BIBLICALLY,
IS PART OF YOUR SOUL
|
|
In the New Testament of the KJV Bible:
The word ‘flesh’ sometimes seems
to mean merely the body:
1 Pet c2 v11:
Dearly beloved,
I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims,
abstain from fleshly
lusts,
which war against the
soul; KJV
|
|
heart/spirit body, or flesh soul
|
|
Mind
you, the word ‘flesh’
sometimes seems to mean ‘body and soul’:
all parts of a person – that might do wrong,*
all parts of a person – except the good heart/spirit.
Gal
c5 v19:
Now the works of the
flesh are manifest,
which are these;
Adultery,
fornication,
uncleanness,
lasciviousness, KJV
|
|
heart/spirit body
flesh soul
|
|
However,
technically speaking:
The body, on its own:
cannot do wrong,
is only a tool of
the soul.
Hence:
a) The
flesh, because it actually does
wrong,
cannot include
the body.
b) The
flesh can only include
the parts of
the soul that actually do wrong.
,, ,, ,, ,, ,, As compared to might do wrong*.
Hence, flesh cannot include
the entire soul.
|
|

soul flesh

.
|
|
Here are some scriptures that support the
statement:
a) The
flesh, because it actually does
wrong,
cannot include the
body.
My comments in orange.

Rom
c7 v18:
For I know that in me (that
is, in my flesh,)
dwelleth no good thing:
for to will is present with
me;
but how to perform that which is good
I find not. KJV
The body contains many good
things, perhaps all good.
So the word flesh, in the above text, cannot be
the body.
,, ,, The problem within
the text is solved by Rom c8
,, ,, and the two verses beneath this paragraph.
|
|
Gal c5 v16:
This I say then, Walk in
the Spirit,
and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. KJV
Gal c5 v18:
But if ye be led of the Spirit,
ye are not under the law.
KJV
These are soulish solutions, not physical solutions.
This implies that the problem
too
had been in the soul, not in
the body.
Therefore flesh is part of
the soul, not part of the body.
|
|
Gal
c5 v17:
For the flesh lusteth
against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the
flesh:
and these are contrary the
one to the other:
so that ye cannot do the
things that ye would. KJV
The body contains many good
things, perhaps all good.
So the word flesh, in the above text, cannot be
the body.
,, ,, The problem within
the text is solved by Rom c8
,, ,, and the two Galatians verses in the previous paragraph.
|
|
Gal
c5 v24:
And they that are
Christ's
have crucified the flesh
with the affections and
lusts. KJV
It is destructive,
therefore wrong,
to actually destroy parts of your body
in order to combat sin.
,, ,, ,, You may complain:
, ,, ,, ,, ,, Matt c5 v30 Matt c18 v8-9 Mark c9 v43-48:
, ,, ,, ,, And if
thy right hand offend thee, cut it off,
, ,, ,, ,, and cast it from thee:
for it is profitable for thee
, ,, ,, ,, that one
of thy members should perish,
,, ,, ,, ,, and not that thy whole body should be cast into
hell. KJV
,, ,, ,, But I say:
,, ,, ,, ,, See second
cell
,, ,, ,, ,, of later
section:
,, ,, ,, ,, VARIOUS GENERAL
CONTRADICTIONS OF JESUS.
Plus the verses just before
& after Gal c5 v24
(i.e. Gal c5 v22-23
& v25):
are soulish solutions
not physical solutions
to the problems presented
back in Gal c5 v19-21.
This implies that the word flesh, in Gal c5 v24,
is of the soul
not of the body.

THE HEART/SPIRIT
TRIES TO CHANGE
THE SOUL
|
|
In an unbeliever (or a ‘believer’):
A ‘believer’ is someone who thinks they believe
but doesn’t (yet) actually believe.
the soul stops the heart/spirit
from expressing
itself
through the soul
because the soul
sees that it would be
materially disadvantageous.
|
|
For example:
The heart/spirit
sees Jesus’ command “love your enemies”
as right.
But the soul
, Or, to be precise, the un-renewed mind within the soul
, (soul = mind + emotions + cultures)
stops
the heart/spirit from expressing it materially.
Hence, even though the heart/spirit
is a good structure,
it is isolated and
ineffective.
|
|
.
|
|
Mind you, in an unbeliever or a ‘believer’,
the heart/spirit at least tries to act through the soul.
And the heart/spirit succeeds, to a
degree:
slowly changing the soul as it does so,
making the soul more &
more constructive.
|
|
|
|
|
In an unbeliever or ‘believer’:
This change tends to be:
slow,
natural,
only partly
completed in this life.
In a believer, who is renewing their mind:
This change tends to be:
quick,
supernatural,
completed in this
life.
|
|
The reason that, for unbelievers &
‘believers’,
this change takes so long
is:
It’s not only:
your good heart/spirit
that impacts your soul.
It’s also:
the good and bad aspects of your
genes
culture
education
upbringing
environment
circumstances
influences from
people
temptations from
demons
encouragements from God
that
impact your soul.
|
|
.
|
|
HOWEVER, ON JUDGMENT DAY,
OUR HEARTS/SPIRITS
WILL CHANGE US QUICKLY
|
|
On Judgment Day
each of us will meet the Father properly,
quickly understand what he’s like,
and immediately decide:
whether to be morally like
him
or not
whether to use the power
that he will have just given
you
to finish changing yourself
or not.
|
|
Deciding
whether to be morally like the Father, or not,
is the same as
deciding whether to be
morally like the Son, or not:
John c10 v30 (John c14 v8-11):
I
and my Father are one. KJV
John c5 v19:
Then
answered Jesus and said unto them,
Verily, verily, I say
unto you,
The Son can do nothing
of himself,
but what he seeth the
Father do:
for what things soever
he doeth,
these also doeth the
Son likewise. KJV
John c14 v9-11:
Jesus
saith unto him,
Have I been so long time
with you,
and yet hast thou not known me,
Philip?
he that hath seen me hath
seen the Father;
and how sayest thou then,
Shew us the Father?
Believest thou not that I am in the Father,
and the Father in me?
the words that I speak unto
you
I speak not of myself:
but the Father that dwelleth
in me,
he doeth the works.
Believe me that I am in the Father,
and the Father in me:
or else believe me for the
very works' sake. KJV

WITH US CHANGES

THE REASON FOR
JUDGMENT DAY’S LATENESS
|
|
You may say:
“Why doesn’t God:
o identify all the
bad brain cells
in the souls of
the good-hearted/spirited,
the righteous,
o throw them away,
o then take
the
good-hearted/spirited, the righteous,
to Heaven:
Their
hearts/spirits having only ever been
good brain
cells.
Their souls
too, now, being only
good brain
cells.”
, , , Perhaps see earlier section:
, , , JESUS’ USE OF THE
WORDS ‘RIGHTEOUS’ AND ‘WICKED’.,,,,,
|
|
I say:
“The Father can see:
who is righteous
& who is not,
who has a good
heart/spirit
& who has a
bad heart/spirit.
, , , , 1 Sam c16 v7,,,,,
The Son, too, can see:
who is righteous
& who is not,
who has a good
heart/spirit
& who has a
bad heart/spirit.
, , , , John c2 v23-25, John c1 v43-51,,,,,
And
anyone can see good & bad behaviour.
|
|
But
we cannot,
even God cannot,
see the good or bad brain
cells
that cause good or bad behaviour.
That’s because
many brain cells that do bad
at other times do good,
and vice versa.
|
|
.
|
|
Mind
you, our hearts/spirits
do eventually change our
souls anyway,
do eventually make our souls
become
completely good or
completely bad anyway.
We all, each of us, change,
of our own accord,
anyway.
We all, each of us, morally
mature,
by ourselves,
anyway.”
|
|
.
|
|
MORALLY
MATURING BY OURSELVES
|
|
Jesus describes this morally maturing by ourselves
in his parable of the wheat
& the weeds.
|
|
Here’s my abbreviation of
his wheat & weeds parable.:
|
Here’s my abbreviation of
his explanation of
his wheat & weeds parable.
|
|
Matt c13 v24-30:
A
farmer
sowed wheat
in his field.
In the night, his enemy
sowed weeds
in the same field.
|
Matt c13 v36-43:
God
put his children
into the world.
Satan
put his children
into the world.
|
|
When
the weeds started
to come up
a farmhand asked the farmer:
“Shall I pull up the weeds?”
The farmer said: “No.
You might uproot the wheat.
Let everything grow and
we’ll harvest everything later.
It’s then that we’ll separate
the fully grown weeds
from the fully grown wheat.
|
Judgment
day.
|
|
Then
we’ll burn the weeds
but keep the wheat.”
|
Angels
will send
everything that causes sin
and all who do evil
to Hell.
Angels will take
the righteous
to Heaven.
