The Carnal Mind Is Mindful of the Body

Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be.

Carnal mind being led by the body is against or hostility towards GOD. Because if GOD is allowed into the mind\soul, then the body will be placed in subjection to the spirit.

How can you tell the difference?? The carnal mind is mindful of the body. It delights in anything that satisfies the flesh. Foods... Recognition - job, successes, money. Personal pleasures - hobby's, toys ... sex, pornography ... ... These are the things that are most important to the carnal mind.

The spirit minded person delights in the things of GOD. Relationship with JESUS, the bible, church, serving HIM, helping others... ... still eats food, fulfills personal pleasures, has a job, if married has sex but is not controlled by them. Places these things in subjection to GOD'S leading.CARNAL MIND DOESN'T DO THIS.

JESUS said in Matthew 6:31-33

31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' ALL DESIRES OF THE FLESH
32 "For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Simply place GOD first before bodily appetites.

The carnal mind being at enmity with GOD comes up with all kinds of harebrain ideas. Believing there is no GOD they look at themselves and see they are similar to an animal therefore they conclude we came from the animal rather then GOD.They look at space assuming there must be more life out there, so they conclude there is another life after this one in space somewhere.
