now worketh in the sons of disobedience;
among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the
desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:….
1 Corinthians 2:11 11 For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man’s spirit within him? In the
same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
;Hebrews 4:12; For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even
to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
Thus the result of the disobedience were
Mar 7:21-23 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, fornication, theft, murder, adultery,
coveting, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from
within, and they defile a man."
The consequence of the disobedience was the beginning of selfishness of man and individuality which separated
man from the rest of mankind and the creation as a whole. The day they ate of it their eyes were opened into a
competitive individualistic world of competition and struggle. They recognized that they were both naked and
separate.
