THE BEAST IN HUMANS - Part 2 of 2

 Yes, sin is genetic and we all are sinners; there goes the self-esteem!

Self-esteem is the nature of lions, peacocks, and Tennessee walking horses. They are beasts of pleasure, beasts of burden, and beasts that devour.

The ultimate beast is the bull. They have one predominant purpose — to breed. Their instinct for reproducing themselves is so intense that they will jump barbed-wire fences, or try to, to answer nature’s call!

A “beast” is not only a lower kind of animal, but a kind who thrives on impulses. They are those who are so instinctual that control of their natural instincts is nearly impossible!

Paul wrote of that lack of control: Speaking of carnality of the flesh, he wrote, “If they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn” (1 Cor 7:9). Burn is “pyroo´ in the Greek. Those who lust for sex are spiritual pyromaniacs! They cannot control the burning in their own “fiery furnaces”!

Beasts are that way, so the husbandman must control their urges, not to reproduce but to relieve the libido in their bowels. The “libido” is the desire for sexual activity. Although it is psychological and sociological, it is also biological.

Biological is in the flesh, as scripture calls it, psychological is in the soul of the person (psyche), and sociological is because there are other beasts out there whose “call of the wild” is provocativeness.

Focus, firstly, on the biological. The libido is genetic and was first displayed with original sin. Another being, a rebellious angel, provoked Eve and used its cunning to seduce her. He was proud of his stuff and apparently shared his “fiery flying darts” (Ephes 6:16; Isa 14:29) with Eve who unwittingly accepted them and felt the heat within her womb, for soon, “she provided a man” (Gen 4:1), not God but her!

The libido is invisible, but it is there. It dies out in women, but for the most part, the libido in men continues until death. Paul called on us to control those sexual urges.

Because men cannot, women in this age control their urges by sacrificing their infants to the belly of Molech for their “god” to consume the seed of debased men as God said: 

 ²⁰ Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbor’s wife, to defile thyself with her. ²¹ And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am the Lord. (Lev 18:20-21)

 “Seed” therein is progeny, or children. The “libido” is the pyromaniac inside people that to hide the evidence, Molech must consume them. The attitude of those who sacrifice their children because of the pursuit of pleasure surely think, I did not perish my child; my god consumed them to save me from the world. They delude themselves after the manner of their spiritual father, the Beast.

Rather than sacrifice themselves to survive, they sacrifice their own children. Only God has the right to do that, and He did not do it to appease Himself, but for the sins of mankind. Rather than sacrificing human “beasts” He sacrificed Himself, so that mankind need not! 

*****

 One of my early memories was our family cat who had littered that morning, ate most of her kittens, not that she was hungry, but apparently because her milk was not enough to nourish them all. Perhaps mother cat sacrificed most of her germline to save the firstborn and prime ones!

As a “beast,” the mother cat was more honorable than mothers who sacrifice their germlines to save themselves from the inconvenience of nourishing children. Once the dominant species, the awful thing that mother cat did was for the good of the most viable. She saved her weaklings from starvation, and that act of sacrifice was the drive to save her seed.

God has that drive as well, but rather than sacrificing his “seed,” He sacrificed His own perfect Flesh!

 With that said, oftentimes, the beasts are better than humans. Another example of beasts bettering men, are dogs — man’s best friend who loves without reservation.

The fire in the libido must be snuffed out or at least controlled within the state of marriage. The best thing to snuff out the fire burning is to cut off the oxygen that encourages the burn. God took care of that as well… Jesus said about His Father, “He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever” (John 14:16). The “Comforter” is the Breath of God that overcomes the fire in the libido. The Breath of God snuffs out the oxygen from the “Prince of the Power of the Air” — Satan from keeping the fire a burning.

The libido may very well be the spirit of Lucifer in everyone since Eve since she is the “mother of all living.” That, perhaps, is the “flesh” that must be crucified and circumcised from the heart (Rom 2:29).

Cutting off the libido and its desires requires self-control. The Comforter is always there, but He must be “worn” as a coat at all times, in the same manner that God made Adam and Eve coats of skin to comfort them (Gen 3:21) and snuff out the fiery darts of the Wicked One.

Because Lucifer, cleverly disguised as a “serpent,” or even his inner image of a seraph, God cursed it “above every beast of the field.” God made the angel a “Beast” and in the end, Lucifer is the “Beast.”

Like our father, the Devil, as offspring of Eve, then unrepentant sinners are as the “Beast” — their new master, father, and god.

So, that strong sexual desire that lies within is due to Eve’s encounter with another kind. She mothered Cain — the “son of the Beast” (Gen 4:1; 1 John 3:12), and since everyone since the days of Noah are all “sons of Cain,” then we too are “sons of the Beast.”

All those urges that men and women have are genetic and from original sin. On your own, nobody can cool the heat because it burns inside beyond the reach of any person! The only way to “cool the burn” is to wear the Comforter that is there for that purpose until death snuffs out the flaming fire.

You are not the “fireman”! It is the blood of Jesus that was pumped out from His Heart to change the world. His propitiation was for “sins that are past” (rom 3:25) — genetic and biological sins that branched from original sin.

Wearing the Comforter is not your efforts but God imbuing the soul, now empty of the libido, with His own Spirit — the Holy Ghost — Christ in you.

Fornication in the Hebrew is “zana” — “to effuse semen” (Brown-Driver-Briggs Lexicon). Not necessarily effusing semen into anyone or anything but emitting semen for any cause. Of course, nocturnal emissions are non-controllable but are considered unclean, meaning that they require water.

“Fornication,” in the Greek, is “porneia” and in general, “illicit sexual intercourse” (Strong 1890) without regard with whom or what.

Intercourse is merely that — “exchange in commerce” (Etymology 1995). Eve, for instance, exchanged in commerce with the Image (the Serpent.) Whether it was only verbal intercourse, or not, is ambiguous. Either way, commerce with other gods has always been “fornication” in Scripture, and the most available image of a “god” is the flesh (Gen 3:5).

Paul wrote, “He that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body” (1 Cor 6:18). How so? It is his or her own flesh that has commerce with the libido, or spirit of Satan.

What do beasts do? With ne’er an emotion, they answer the call of the wild. Their “natures” are to reproduce, and with what, it of little concern. Husbandmen catch semen using fake cows for bulls to provide semen for insemination of many others. Now, science even uses that technique, knowing full well that people will do about anything for the love of money.

The point is that in this day, as in the days of Noah, mankind cares little about who they come into and women who comes in them, using the vernacular of Genesis chapter six.

By the time that the Ark was finished, all but Noah had succumbed to fornication. They destroyed their own flesh just as Eve had; she had not created a “man” (adam), but perished man’s kind.

God also issued another warning; “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination” (Lev 18:22).

An “abomination” is a “disgusting” act.

Homosexuality is doing whatever beasts do not do. They at least copulate to procreate, but people copulate to deviate! There is a vast difference, and the only way that homosexuals can multiply is to increase the number of lost souls. Their libidos reproduce in the souls of the lost, but holy souls are impossible with unnatural acts.

Back to fornication as porneia: The Greek word “porno” means a “prostitute” (Etymology 1995). “Porneia” would be activity with a prostitute. Pornographic materials are images of prostitutes, and they are ways for men and women to prostitute themselves.

With that background, Eve by having intercourse with Lucifer, prostituted herself and so did “it.” Whether it was carnal knowledge or not is debatable, but she committed fornication with the Wicked One because she engaged in his knowledge while neglecting her husband and Husbandman — God.

Adam and Eve were of the same Substance as God who breathed life in His Image unto them. On the other hand, Cain was made in the same manner as beasts, by sexual intercourse; Eve had gotten for Adam a man-beast, and not a full-blooded “Adam,”

Pornography of all types is fornication whether it is self-mutilation, homosexuality, sexual intercourse of a carnal nature, or even looking at images of women or men in wanton lust, as animals might peer at their victims.

Furthermore, the fire burns so intensely that neither you nor I can put it out by ourselves. Only by regenning by the Genome of God — the Holy Ghost — can our libidos be tamed until death frees the person from those invisible chains!
