Title: The Earth but most especially its inhabitants    
  
  
  
  

    

  
  
  
  


When the term `World` is used in Scripture it is important to understand that there are two distinct references being made:

1.   World as the Physical planet - the centerpiece of the Physical Universe - the Earth.   

2.   World as the Secular Humanist System whose character, outlook and actions are Wickedness.   

God created the Physical World and declared that it was Good.   

God gave Dominion over the World to man.   

The Blessings upon Abraham were Physical Blessings as well as Spiritual Blessings.   

The Blessings upon Israel were both Physical and Spiritual.   

Jesus pronounced a Spiritual and Physical Blessing upon those who prioritize their lives.   

Even those in service to God are to be blessed Physically and Spiritually.   

In general, the Blessings of God tend toward Life, Health and Wealth each of which has a Spiritual and Physical component.   

So, the World ( Earth) that God created is Good and is intended to be a Blessing to mankind.   

But, the World that Satan has constructed through the deceitfulness of Sin is an Abomination to God.   It is a World which denies God and does everything possible to thwart His Will.   

That World will be destroyed at the Return of the King in the Day Of Wrath.   

It is Satan`s Secular Humanist World that we should avoid at all costs.   

The World of God`s Creation is given to those who Love Him for their enjoyment.   We actually Inherit the Earth.   

So, do not alow Satan to cause you to `throw the baby out with the bath water`.   The World that God created is still Good.   It is Wonderful.   It is a gift from God to us, His Children.   

Throw out the Satanic World View which denies God and corrupts Humanity.   That is the World that will be destroyed.   
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.     If any man love the world, the love of the Holy Spirit Father is not in him.
What world is John speaking of?     
    is he speaking of the earth that the Lord created?     
    is he telling us not to enjoy the blessings of the Lord`s creation?     
No, he is speaking of the evil that is in the world.     
    lust of the flesh
    lust of the eyes
    pride of life.     

When we see what is in Heavenly Places our hearts are forever oriented toward Him who fills heaven and earth with His glory.     carnality is base and has lost its appeal.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Holy Spirit Father, but is of the world.
Man is a spirit with a soul navigating in a body.     

The body is the vehicle by which man navigates and it is the sensory mechanism by which the man experiences the Physical Realm.     

The soul is the mind, will and emotions of the man by which he is able to process the inputs from his body about the Physical Realm.     It is that which imagines, opines, and orders the body to move and to speak.     

The spirit is the essence of the man involving his consciousness and his core value system and nature.     

Because of Original Sin the spirit of man died, leaving his soul and body to determine his life.     The soul of man readily gives in to the body of man because his spirit is dead.     As a result, man in his natural state is Carnal Minded dominated by
    lust of the flesh
    lust of the eye
    Pride Of Life.     

For this reason Christ Jesus came to cleanse us of the dead spirit and replace it with a New Spirit by which we could not only know Him but fellowship with Him.     

Having this New Spirit we have an authority over our soul to shape it to the Mind Of Christ so that we no longer have a soul/mind dominated by our body, but a soul that is Spiritual Minded.
