whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart

 

Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:  But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.  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. 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.  It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. (Matthew 5: 27-32)

Jesus is talking about physical adultery and spiritual adultery. "Laughterful desires in the heart" is spiritual adultery because there is greed in the heart. One can escape greed without removing the old man contaminated with greed. Romans 6: 3-4 says that the old man must die with Jesus before he can be born again. Those who are not dead are the ones under God's wrath. Those whose old man has not died are those who are trapped under the law.
When the church says that they follow the Holy Spirit, those who also keep the law are committing adultery.

 

The rebirth is likened to "the husband was a law for the rest of his life, and my husband released me because I was killed against the law." So I can go to the risen Jesus. My husband is changing. The new husband is the resurrected Jesus. This is rebirth. While many are under the law, they accept Jesus and think that Jesus is in them. The spirit in it will not be the Holy Spirit, but the spirit of delusion. In Romans 7: 6

『 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. 』 To be saved by serving with the new (spirit) of the spirit. The law is a husband who never releases. However, there are stages in which the law does not let me go, and then the stage of thinking that "the law is good" comes. I find myself unable to escape because of the law, and I think so until I die about the law. The more you try, the more you become bound by the law, until you think, "I can't." So, it is considered good for you to realize it because of the law, and to a “to the one who has risen from the dead”.

Unless we have been killed for the law, we have never been to the risen Jesus. I have to put down all my hard work, my righteousness, and my good. Because everything is legal, it is repentance to realize that "I am not the one who can go to my righteousness, but I must be dead." So you can escape from the law. If you don't realize that you are a total fall, you cannot enter the path of denying yourself. I can't even know that my husband is a law until I realize the existence of total corruption. Totally fallen beings are not released until the death of the husband's law. So you have to repent and deny yourself. Denying oneself is a way of being released from the law because denying yourself is the way to the cross of Jesus. For the law, the sin, and the way to die with Jesus.

Unless you repent and enter the path of denying yourself, you are under God's judgment because the husband is the law. You cannot escape the bridle until you die of the law. So, those who have not entered the path of self-denial cannot say that the risen Jesus is my husband. If the resurrected Jesus does not become my husband, I cannot be saved.

Those who have not died of the law are adultery and harlot. Those who are not dead are old. The old man's husband is the law. However, many people think that they are all out of the law. Without repentance to deny self, it is only self-righteousness to think so. The Lord will say, "Your husband is the law, but you are saying that your husband is the risen Jesus. I don't know you. " Jesus is talking about spiritual adultery.

The tradition of the elders

  The tradition of the elders   Mark 7:5-9  『 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands? He answered and said to them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. 』 In the Galilee region, Pharisees and scribes from Jerusalem came to Jesus. They came with accusations against Jesus. This is because Jesus' disciples neglected washing their hands, a Jewish ritual of purification. They called it  “ the tradition of the elders. ”  The Jewish leaders ...

Question 64. What is the invisible church?

  Question 64. What is the invisible church? Answer. The invisible church is the total number of the elect who are gathered together and will be gathered together in the future under Christ, the head. In the catechism, the doctrine states that the invisible church is "the total number of the elect who are gathered together and will gather together in the future under Christ, the head," so it can be understood as those who make heaven in Christ. However, the invisible church can be said to be an invisible church community, but this was only used as a means to divide the visible church and the invisible church, and dividing them into visible and invisible is not biblical. The church is the church of the saints, and the church community is the gathering of the saints. The expression "true member" is also ambiguous.

Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant?

  Question 32. How is the grace of God manifested in the second covenant? Answer. The grace of God is manifested in the second covenant, in his free provision and offering to sinners of mediation, and of life and salvation by it; and by requiring faith as the condition of their entering into a relationship with Christ, the mediator; and by promising and giving the Holy Spirit to all his elect, he works faith in them, with all other saving graces, and enables them to do all holy obedience; which obedience is a true evidence of their faith and gratitude to God, or the way which God hath appointed for their salvation. If we divide God's covenant into two for convenience, the covenant that appears in the Old Testament is called the first covenant, and the covenant that appears in the New Testament through Jesus Christ is called the second covenant. Luke 22:15-16 “ And he said to them, ‘ I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. For I tell you, I will n...
