"Splitting Adams" -3

"Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will He teach sinners in the way. The meek will He guide in judgement: and the meek will He teach His way." (Psalms 25:8 & 9) First off, I usually do not like to backtrack over Scripture, unless I feel God wanting me to stop for something important that was overlooked. Just encase you missed it, Adam was the where our sin originated; and from Adam have we been separated from God. Now I know that there are some who view what happened differently, and believe that it was Eve who was the cause of man's fall; but Adam was the one in charge of keeping the garden in order, Eve was his helper. Yes, his helper; although they were one, she was the weaker of the two, and that is precisely why the devil came to her instead of Adam. Adam on the other hand, he was also about making his wife happy; therefore his judgement was not being guided by good common sense, but by his desire for unity with his wife. I could get into a whole different discussion about Adam's desire, but I feel the Lord showing me something more in the way of our desire for Him. From the time of my youth, and for as long as I can remember, sexual desire was always something that needed to be suppressed, and was always part of something that was forbidden or secretly kept. Maybe it was from my mother saying to me, "Don't play with that!", as I lay there in between diaper changes; or maybe it was just because I am weird and I am the only one who feels like that; no pun intended. But seriously; we were created for greater things than that! Our Heavenly Father has created us for fellowship with Him; to be able to experience that kind of fellowship, we must be taught or trained to replace the desire we have for the flesh, with the desire we must have for His Spirit; that is just plain and simple! Right now, I am sure that there may be some that are thinking to themselves, "Hey, I got that handled, I do not have a problem in the area"; well, maybe you do; and then again, maybe the right person has not entered into your heart yet; because that is pretty much all it takes! There was only one man who was sinless, and His name is Jesus! Remember that sin starts in the heart, and it is sometimes completed just in our minds, and does not need to go any further than that to actually be called sin. The words for "teach" that are spoken of in both of these verses are different in meaning; as for the first, which was more about God molding us in a specific direction, the second use of the word is more about  basic training by instruction; whereby we are persuaded by what not to do, verses that which we should be doing. It basically means to chastise; to strike or beat with a rod; hence, to discipline. Now, why would the meek need discipline? Maybe the question needs to be turned around a little, and made into a statement, which is: It is the meek who need and receive discipline..."The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel; to know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; to receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgement, and equity; to give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels: to understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction." (Proverbs 1:1-7)
