Original Message Matthew 5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.


Matthew 5:29
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, 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.


Matthew 5:30
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.



People often take Jesus' TEACHINGS quite literally. Negating to remember that he said the following;

John 6:63
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

And also forgetting this;

Matthew 13:13
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.



So beginning with the flesh profits nothing, which means it really does profit nothing.

So someone with lust in them for example would look upon a woman and THINK and FEEL that way, with lust. To merely see a woman as an object of desire. Demeaning them as an individual and more importantly a spirit in human form.

In Matthew 5.29 Jesus' says pluck out your right out and cast it aside. For it is better than you do that than let it corrupt your whole body.

However this wasn't meant literally, it was a spiritual statement. After all he said that it was the spirit that quickens a person, and that his words were about the spirit and eternal life. As you can see in Matthew 5.29 and 5.30 his words there are about the flesh are they not?

But as Jesus' himself said, and as written in the scriptures he said he came speaking in parables. Because in seeing and hearing and see and hear not.

So to convert this simple TEACHING of Jesus from it's EARTHLY parable form, into it's true SPIRITUAL meaning. He is really saying. Turn away from the thoughts which cause you to lust after a woman.

Luke 5:32
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.


Repent means to turn away from sinful thoughts. He is saying, Cut this thought away from you, this sin, this desire, lest it corrupt the whole of your character, your spirit, and your WILL, and cause you to become an even worse a person and thus lead a debased sort of life. i.e Cast into Hell, wicked living. Remember what Jesus' said about this world.

John 7:7
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

To do the works of this world i.e lust after women like objects is like being cast into hell. And hell is to be as far away from the Father as possible. Remember the parables and the fact that Jesus' words are only concerned with the SPIRIT and ETERNAL life.

John 17:1
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Yes, so in this world which Jesus' said the works thereof are evil, he has overcome them, and in revelation he tells us to have patience and overcome the world also. Overcome the works here, i.e our lust for example, which also will be part of our trials and tribulations here also. Repentance is no easy task, so we constantly have to keep turning away from our lustful thoughts until with overcome them.

Similar to how we have to suffer the tribulation or craving for cigarettes when we desire to quit smoking. Mentally internally we have to to suffer into it stops. Such it is with all habits and addictions, including lustful thoughts. The result of which you can practically see anywhere on the internet. I don't think that's I'd be far wrong in saying that porn addiction is the number one addiction of this day. Sodom and Gomorrah resurrected for all intents and purposes. Few people today are beginning to witness this as being a probably and are taking steps to overcome it. But in the bigger picture it is the works of this world as a whole that will need to be overcome, for as Jesus' stated, the Flesh profits nothing.


The Kingdom of Heaven is within, and the work to improve one-selves, the work to remove one selves from sin, to repent is to be done within also.

For as written;

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there WILL your heart be also.

So how are you WILLING the contents of your soul, your heart. How are you directing your heart. For if you know your treasure is with your Father in Heaven. What will you WILL your heart towards, towards the flesh which profits nothing which Jesus' said or to the Father, where your treasure is, which is eternal life.?

Reading again

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there WILL your heart be also.

That bit of scripture seems a bit clearer no?


It is the heart which leads man astray.

Matthew 15:19
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Proverbs 4:23
Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there WILL your heart be also.

One needs to use the WILL(strength) of the spirit(mind), to direct your heart(soul) towards the Father(The Lord).

Remember what Jesus said in answering a question about Moses' Law.

Luke 10:27
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

To do that helps tame the heart so it will lead on astray less. For without the Father one is nothing.

Reading;

John 5:30
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own WILL, but the WILL of the Father which hath sent me.


Again;

Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there WILL your heart be also.

Again, You now know that your treasure is with the Father. And that you must WILL your heart towards the Father and get it in line with his WILL, for it is the heart that leads one astray, because out of it are the issues of life, because it is of this world, of the flesh.. Remember Jesus' came into this world to do his Father's WILL, and that ultimately is what we shall end up doing.

John 4:3 "My meat is to do the WILL of him that sent me, and to finish his work."

To do the Father's WILL, that is where our treasure is. What is the Father's WILL?. The answer?

Making known the mystery of his WILL

1 John 2:17 "And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the WILL of God abideth for ever."

Again this is about overcoming the world via doing the Father's WILL. For without his help you can do nothing, not even overcome your own sins..


Reading what the Father WILL do after one has become resurrected out of this world, or perhaps more on the route to overcoming this world (as of yet I'm unsure since it hasn't been fully revealed to me). Perhaps because I haven't as yet OVERCOME this world myself who's works thereof are evil. I am still alive in the flesh after all at this time of writing. Anyhow;

Ezekiel 11:19
And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

Ezekiel 36:27
A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

Ezekiel 36:27
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.



The last bit of scripture is especially interesting, and I will go further into this another time. But it refers to what happened before the Fall, prior to the War in Heaven which caused it.

In a nutshell doing the father's judgements, i.e his commandments which were Love thy neighbour as thyself. And Love thy Father with all they heart, Body and spirit.

Well that is something we neglected to do in Heaven which lead to the war in heaven against our brothers and sisters, our fellow Angels at the time in Heaven. We became corrupted with our pride, and our desire to rule and control the other Angels because we thought we were superior to them. There was a war which lead to us being cast out to here. Some Angels corruptions being worse than others, so some are still being cast out even today (Hence the current Earthly population rise).


Reincarnation is fact though, and most will have to go through hundreds if not thousands of different Incarnations. Which sole purpose of this process is to purify us, via experience of good and evil on this Earth. Remember the Adam and Evil story and the tree of knowledge of good and evil and then being cast out into Eden, after being deceived by the serpent(symbolical for corruption). Yes, this story is a story created for symbolical reasons so that it would be remembered for all time. As you can witness today atheists won't believe in the literal interpretation of Adam and Eve, and neither will the so-called believers. For good reason.

Ever heard the saying, in Myth there is the foundation of truth. Well that saying is without fault. I will go into the meaning of the Adam and Eve story in more detail at another time.

Ezekiel 36:31
Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

The scripture above is about what we were like prior to the fall. At some point we WILL remember it, and see it as an error. Currently on Earth most of us are following on in the same pattern of behavior before than the fall. What we see happening today on this Earth in total is practically what we desired to do to our own fellow brothers and sisters in Heaven. We desire to rule and control them, just like we do to each other now.
