00:00How are you, my brothers? Well, we're still talking a little bit about this scatological topic,
00:23Regarding this topic of the sky, but looking at it a little, remember that what we are considering a bit
00:30It's about the theme of what we experience here compared to what we experience in heaven.
00:37And that makes matters of the flesh, that is, everything that our chapter is really about,
00:44Well, I don't know, they won't disappear, but they will be minimized, and then we start to consider and say,
00:54So, what do you prefer? Experiencing pleasure here through money or through sex?
01:04What is "for a while," is it "for a moment"?
01:06Or would you prefer to live it eternally and fully up in heaven?
01:13I think the difference is completely abysmal.
01:18That's why we're making this comparison, where we mix in a little bit of the scatological theme.
01:25Such was the vision that Paul already had on this subject, where he goes on comparing and making this relationship
01:35between earthly things and heavenly things, which practically all his letters
01:42They are permeated with these ideas. For example, as we have already seen in Colossians and other texts,
01:50One of the letters that contains it most is the letter to the Corinthians, both letters,
01:56Because you'll recall that we've seen a bit about the Corinthians, well, they were a complicated people,
02:02where the meat, yes, and it wasn't roast meat, right? I mean, our meat, right?
02:08That is, our passions, since they dominated a significant part of the community.
02:13Therefore, this theme, especially, particularly in the Corinthians, appears with greater sensitivity.
02:22It also appears in Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians.
02:27That whole section of the map was heavily permeated by the problem of idols and, above all,
02:34of the fertility cults that had to do with what was called sacred prostitution.
02:40So, all of this fell into the role of people's daily lives, which they saw as normal.
02:48And that is why Paul has to draw you away from this and lead you to a life of holiness.
02:54where all these works end up destroying our lives because they are sin,
03:00because they could end up being, well, or remain apart from the life of the people.
03:06So, in this sense, I would like us to go to the Bible.
03:12I invite you to take out your Bible again and turn to the letter to the Corinthians, the second letter to the Corinthians.
03:17in chapter 5, verse 8.
03:20The apostle says, but we take courage and prefer rather to be absent from the body and abiding in the Lord.
03:37Okay?
03:37So, meat is important, yes, but we now prefer to live a spiritual relationship.
03:47This is the kind of relationship a Christian should live.
03:53And well, all this doesn't mean the world is bad,
03:58But what is bad is being tied to him.
04:02We've seen it a lot.
04:04Christians must be free in order to aspire to perfect goods.
04:10that, well, God has given them to us in Christ.
04:14And well, while we're in this world, we enjoy them.
04:18But we are not bound to them.
04:21We cannot hold them back.
04:24We enjoy them when we have them,
04:26But that is not the goal for which we work,
04:30nor what gives meaning to our lives.
04:32That's why, Saint Paul, again, right?
04:35To another town that also had other kinds of problems.
04:39He wasn't so settled on the subject of sacred prostitution,
04:43but he also writes to the Romans.
04:45So what does it say in Roman numerals?
04:48Romans, there is a text that we have already seen at another time,
04:53But the thing is, I repeat it frequently
04:56because I think it's very important.
04:58Romans 12.2.
05:00You probably already have it marked in your Bible,
05:03But hey, if you don't have it, point it out.
05:06It's very important.
05:08Furthermore, engrave it in your heart.
05:11It's something we need to have well established
05:14in our lives and in our hearts.
05:17Romans 12.2.
05:19Let's go to the text.
05:22Pablo says,
05:23And do not conform to this world,
05:26but be transformed
05:28through the renewal of his mind
05:30so that they can verify it.
05:33What is the will of God?
05:36which is good,
05:38which is acceptable
05:39and what is perfect.
05:42In other words, brothers,
05:43Saint Paul invites us
05:46that we don't adapt to this world.
05:49We live in it, yes,
05:52But don't adapt to it.
05:55And this is a titanic task.
05:59I have to fight with her.
06:01You will have to fight her.
06:03Everyone has to deal with this.
06:05Frequently on my retreats
06:07Romans 12.2 will appear.
06:09Because?
06:10Because it's a struggle.
06:11Not adapting to this world.
06:14In other words, the mindset of the world
06:16tends to permeate our lives
06:18and we tried to settle in,
06:22to adapt to this world.
06:25No.
06:25We must seek God
06:29What's good about it?
06:30What is perfection?
06:31and what does he/she like?
06:35In other words, brothers,
06:37Believe me.
06:39You who are just starting out
06:40in your conversion,
06:42Believe me, this is a fight
06:43that lasts your whole life.
06:46Your whole life.
06:48Well, the world
06:50and its owner
06:51They want to make you part of it.
06:57And that is why
06:58us
07:00we must remember
07:02as Jesus no longer said
07:05In other words, Jesus said so.
07:06to his disciples.
07:07You
07:10They are not
07:11of the world.
07:13Stick this in your mouth
07:14in the head.
07:17Stick this in your mouth
07:17in the head.
07:20You who are
07:21starting
07:21the Christian life
07:22You are not of this world.
07:26You live in the world
07:26But you don't belong to him.
07:30Yeah,
07:31It's true.
07:33We live in it
07:34But we do not belong to him.
07:37Nor their criteria
07:38nor their ways of acting
07:40nor his thoughts
07:42they can
07:43and they must be
07:44ours.
07:47In this sense
07:49Jesus invited
07:49to the rich young man
07:51Do you remember?
07:52the meeting
07:54of the rich young man
07:54that
07:56would fall apart
07:57of everything that
07:58He tied him up
08:00so that he could
08:02continue.
08:04However
08:04the scripture tells us
08:05that in the end
08:06in history
08:08What became of this boy?
08:10that
08:10she didn't want to leave
08:12his fortune
08:13and returned
08:14to his house
08:15tied
08:15and without happiness
08:17without freedom
08:19that Jesus
08:20offered him
08:21then
08:21living next door.
08:23so that
08:26one of the
08:27topics
08:28important
08:29in which
08:30we must be
08:31attentive
08:32that's the topic
08:33of the money
08:34and the goods
08:35that can
08:35tie us up
08:36and prevent us
08:38continue
08:38really
08:39to Christ.
08:41Yeah,
08:41careful.
08:44And that's why
08:44I would like to enter
08:45now a little bit
08:46now more on the subject
08:47after this
08:48backdrop
08:49which presents us
08:50the topic
08:51of this struggle
08:52internal
08:53between the meat
08:53and spirit
08:54Let's go in and see
08:56directly
08:57the topic
08:58of the money.
09:00I'm going to have coffee
09:00because
09:01this topic
09:04complica
09:06our life
09:07and you have to be
09:08right away
09:09and coffee
09:10well, to me
09:11It puts me on the spot
09:11They say it's not that good.
09:13but
09:13from time to time
09:14a little sip is fine
09:15the relationship
09:17with the money
09:18go ahead
09:20on the topic
09:24of the money
09:24Saint Paul
09:26I had understood
09:28clearly
09:29that the value
09:31of freedom
09:32it was fundamental
09:34and knew
09:35that an obstacle
09:37big
09:38It is the desire
09:40of wealth
09:40and so
09:42He tells her
09:42clearly
09:43to Timothy
09:44like today
09:45I'll repeat it to you.
09:46I, you
09:46using the words
09:48of the apostle
09:49Let's see
09:50First Timothy
09:516
09:52Chapter 6
09:54the verses
09:557 and 8
09:56Let's go to our Bible
09:58almost to the end
09:59And we'll see
10:00to Timothy
10:01says
10:03directly
10:04because
10:08nothing
10:10we have brought
10:11to the world
10:12so
10:13nothing
10:13we can extract
10:14his
10:15and if we have
10:17what to eat
10:18and we have
10:20with which to cover ourselves
10:21with that
10:22we will be
10:23happy
10:24but
10:26those who want
10:27to get rich
10:29They fall into temptation
10:30and ties
10:31and in many
10:33wishes
10:33fools
10:34and harmful
10:35that sink
10:36to men
10:37in ruin
10:38and in perdition
10:39because
10:41look
10:41verse 10
10:42because the root
10:44of all evils
10:45It is love
10:46to the money
10:47by which
10:48coveting it
10:50some
10:51have gone missing
10:52of his faith
10:53and they were tortured
10:55with many pains
10:57that
10:58such a tremendous quote
11:01careful
11:03with tying
11:04to the assets
11:04to the money
11:05if we have them
11:06excellent
11:07excellent
11:08but we are not
11:10tied to them
11:11is the cause
11:14of many evils
11:16in this text
11:20we see
11:21that
11:21the money
11:23which in itself
11:24It's not bad.
11:26well
11:27Saint Paul
11:28and Jesus
11:28they had
11:29many friends
11:30with a lot of money
11:32like Philemon
11:33from Paul
11:35Pillage
11:36of Jesus
11:37the same as
11:38Joseph of Arimathea
11:39and so many more
11:41TRUE?
11:41the problem then
11:42It's not about the money.
11:44but the problem
11:46It is ambition
11:47It is wanting
11:49have more
11:50that naturally
11:52ends
11:52in a deep
11:54selfishness
11:55that makes us
11:56ignore
11:56to the others
11:57Jesus
11:59when it counts
12:01the parable
12:01of Lazarus
12:02and the
12:03and the
12:03rich man
12:04Let's see
12:06that this
12:07That's the problem
12:08because?
12:10because in it
12:11we see
12:12what may come
12:13to be the money
12:14in a person
12:15this person
12:17nevertheless
12:18to see
12:19every day
12:20poor Lazarus
12:21hungry
12:22at the door
12:23from his house
12:24that is to say
12:24I couldn't help it
12:25seeing it
12:26his heart
12:27it had hardened
12:29to such an extent
12:29that
12:30not even
12:31he gave it to her
12:32the crumbs
12:33that fell
12:34from his table
12:34And that's because
12:36the love of money
12:37siblings
12:38ends up
12:39take
12:39to people
12:41and blind
12:43about that
12:45There is a story
12:46that tell
12:49about a king
12:50from India
12:50I'm going to tell you.
12:51because it seems to me
12:52very interesting
12:53and I would like to use this
12:54to close
12:56this chapter
12:57says
12:57this story
12:59he tells us
13:00that there was a king
13:01in India
13:02who was very rich
13:04however
13:05had

13:09a person
13:09indifferent
13:10to riches

13:13one of his subjects
13:15very curious
13:16wanted to find out
13:18his secret
13:18and asked
13:19to the king
13:20that he would tell her
13:21Which one are you?
13:22the secret
13:23the king told him

14:01his entire palace
14:02and to show him
14:03all

14:04his great riches
14:05when it ended
14:08that walk

14:10the king
14:11He looked at him
14:11fixedly
14:12and asked
14:13what do you think
14:14of my riches
14:15the subject
14:17he answered
14:18I didn't see anything
14:21Sir
14:21I didn't see anything
14:22Your Majesty
14:23because while
14:25I was walking
14:25I was just thinking
14:27in which the flame
14:29of my candle
14:29It won't turn off
14:30the king
14:33he told her
14:34That's my secret.
14:36I'm
14:39so busy

14:42to revive
14:43my flame
14:43inside
14:44that I don't have
14:46time
14:47I'm not interested in them
14:48the riches
14:49from outside
14:50what parable
14:52What a treasure!
14:54so immense
14:55How beautiful!
14:56thought
14:57of this king
14:58It's a beautiful story
15:00which makes us see
15:02because of the importance
15:04as presented
15:06Saint Paul
15:07well
15:08It's not that much.
15:10finally
15:11be Christ
15:12I have it as my center
15:14Well, the rest
15:15I am presented
15:16like trash
15:17things that being
15:18important
15:19They're not worth it
15:20if we compare it
15:22with the value
15:23to know
15:24and to love
15:25and of being
15:26beloved
15:27through Christ
15:28as we already saw
15:29in this text
15:31of Philippians
15:32in chapter 3
15:33Yeah
15:34I mean
15:35I invite you
15:36to read
15:37this text
15:37TRUE
15:38where for Paul
15:40all
15:40It says everything
15:42what for me
15:43It was important
15:44which was a profit
15:45for the love of Christ
15:46pum
15:47out
15:48He values everything.
15:51as a loss
15:52with such
15:53to know Christ
15:55His Lord
15:56finally says
15:58I've lost everything
16:00with such
16:02to gain Christ
16:03you
16:05you
16:08How do you see this?
16:09It's a pretty one
16:11reflection
16:12I think the topic
16:14is
16:15pay attention
16:17in your candle
16:17pay attention
16:19in the Lord
16:20Let the Lord
16:21grow
16:22and develop
16:23in your heart
16:23and little by little
16:25You'll see that the rest
16:26although it is important
16:27It's not really worth it
16:29but good
16:30I'll see you in our next video!
16:31to wrap things up
16:33this chapter
16:34so interesting
