Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

He went on: "What comes out of a man is what makes him 'un-
clean.' For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts,
sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, de-

ceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these
evils come from inside [from lower self] and make a man 'un-
clean." (Mark, 7:20-23)

The acts of the sinful nature [lower self] are obvious: sexual im-
morality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft;
hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissen-
sions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like.
(Galatians, 5:19-21)

Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all de-

ceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind.
Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so
that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now
that you have tasted that the Lord is good. (1 Peter,
2:1-3)

You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy
and quarreling among you, are you not
worldly? Are you not acting like mere
men? (1 Corinthians, 3:3)

You lust and do not have; so you com-
mit murder. You are envious and
cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel.
You do not have because you do not

ask. (James, 4:2)
