Lesson 13
The
Brain Soul Complex
DOCTRINE: OLD SIN NATURE
(Part 2)
5. Conclusions:
a. The soul comes from God perfect and sinless via
creation at conception.
b. The soul is plugged into the BC throughout life (2
Cor.5:1-5)
c. The soul is to the brain what a programmer is to a
computer.
d. The problem exists when the programmer (Real You) becomes enslaved to
the computer (sin nature). Rom. 6:6....that we should no longer be slaves of
sin."
e.
The
soul constitutes the Real You since it survives death and is where all
decisions are made: good or bad
f.
The
soul of the believer dictates to the B/C to produce either sin or
righteousness, the former state puts the OSN-B/C in rulership of the life while
the latter implies the rulership of the Holy Spirit.
g.
So the
issue for man in the A/C is to overrule the B/C by reprogramming it with divine
viewpoint.
Ps
40:8 "I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."
Psa. 119:11 "Your word have I stored up in my heart that I may
not sin against You."

11:8; 18:12.
(B/C
with the sin nature dominating the real you therefore the r/o of the soul is
personal sin, human good or evil.)
3. Origin of the sin nature in mankind
a. Adam the federal head of the human race is the source
of the sin nature. (Gen 2,3; Rom
1. Adam at the outset was perfect in body and soul since
God is not the sponsor or creator of sin or temptation.
2. The woman first then the man developed a trend away
from God; this trend itself was not sinful.
- this was indicated by her conversations with the serpent
3. This trend was converted into a sinful trend when they
committed the first sin of mankind - ate of the tree.
4. This first sin is known as AOS (Adam's original sin)
and the trend is converted to the sin nature by the judgment of God for the fall.
5. The original sin (eating of the tree) came from
volition, a choice, since they did not possess a sin nature at that point.
6. By choosing for the knowledge of good and evil Adam
chose a new ruler of life, the sin nature that he received as part of the
judgment for his sin.
7. So at the point of the fall, two major developments
occurred:
a.
Satan became the ruler of the world through the sin nature
b.
The sin nature became the ruler of life (Eph.2:1-3).
8. So, Mankind is ruled by Satan through the sin nature. (Jn 8:44; 1 Jn 3:8).
9. Adam's sin based on his trend produced spiritual death
in him (Gen.2:16,17
cp. Gen 3:6-7)
b. Adam immediately after the fall exhibited
characteristics that we as his progeny also exhibit. [presence
of sin nature]
1.
Attempt to cover his own sins: "operation fig
leaves."
-
sought to handle the guilt of his sin from human effort/human good
2.
Exhibited fear based on ignorance, attempted to hide.
3. Adam became the object/target of Satanic reprogramming: nakedness between husband and wife was
suddenly wrong to them
("operation cover up").
4. Failure to assume responsibility for sins:
("operation pass the buck")
-
making excuses, he blamed the woman (
- while the woman blamed the snake (
