“But many walk (live), of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping . . . that they ARE enemies of the cross of Christ . . .
Whose end is destruction, and whose god is their belly . . . and whose glory is to their shame. Who mind (affections are on) earthly (carnal) things, rather than eternal !”
– Philippians 3:18-19
and ref: I Corinthians 6:13*
Quote –
“One of the strongest temptations that man has to meet, comes upon the point of appetite. In all ages, temptations appealing to the physical nature have been most effectual in corrupting and degrading mankind.
Through intemperance, Satan works to destroy the mental and moral powers that God gave man as a priceless endowment . . . and it is impossible for those who yield to him (Satan), to appreciate things of eternal worth.
Through sensual (carnal, fleshly) indulgence, Satan seeks to blot from the soul every trace of likeness to God . . . !”
