\u201c"Flesh & Blood" is a 1985 film starring Jennifer Jason Leigh and the late Dutch actor Rutger Hauer (1944-2019), probably best known for an earlier film, the original Blade Runner, from 1982.
Set in medieval Europe, the film shows Hauer's character, Martin, leading a group of rebellious looters who\u2014after refusing to serve the local monarch as mercenaries and being betrayed by him\u2014seize a castle and are then pursued by the army commander.
The group even includes prostitutes (who indulge in carnal pleasures with the soldiers) and even a cardinal, who admits them to the Catholic ritual of communion (even with full knowledge of their dissolute lives) and does not bother to reprimand the illicit acts committed, his only concern being the search for supposed divine signs that will allow him and his companions to discover what they should do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The catch is that Agnes (Jennifer Jason Leigh's character) is a lady engaged to the Monarch's son, Steven, who ends up being kidnapped by the group.
To rescue her, Steven pursues them along with the military until something unusual happens: Steven is captured and chained by the group, but throws a piece of meat from a dog that died from the Black Death into the well, thus contaminating the water that everyone will drink the next day.
Prostitutes are the first to feel the symptoms of the disease, they become desperate and start screaming: "It's the punishment for being prostitutes!".<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONSEQUENCES<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is the point we are called to reflect upon: although it is entirely inappropriate to associate a specific punishment with a specific sin (unless, of course, this has been foretold by God), the truth is that sins always have consequences!
Often, the consequences are not immediately or clearly associated with it, but there is simply no sin without punishment: even the most insignificant sins in the eyes of men had to be punished\u2014in this case, in Jesus\u2014so that forgiveness could be granted to all of humanity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, even if sin is forgiven, its consequences remain.
When a person commits a sin and sincerely repents, forgiveness is granted (because Jesus paid the price for that sin on the cross), but the consequences of what the person did will not simply disappear: someone who commits murder may receive divine forgiveness if they sincerely repent, but the victim of their act will not be resurrected, and the perpetrator will have to answer for it.
An adulterous couple who are surprised by a pregnancy may be forgiven, but the child will not disappear and they will be forced to face the consequences of their act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A clear example of this is King David, who committed adultery and became involved in a murder plot (according to...). 2\u00ba Samuel 11<\/mark><\/strong>).
After being confronted by the prophet Nathan, he acknowledged his sin, heard Nathan's declaration that he was forgiven, but the consequences of that act could not be undone: they range from the death of his newborn son (account in 2\u00ba Samuel 12<\/mark><\/strong>) and two more later on \u2014 Amnon, who committed incest, and Absalom, who killed him and conspired against his father's kingdom \u2014 culminating in Absalom's degrading act of public sexual relations with his own father's concubines and his conspiracy against him to seize his kingdom, which also cost him his life (according to 2\u00ba Samuel 15-18<\/mark><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTICES<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Even before these events\u2014which took place when Israel was already an established nation in its land\u2014God had already warned the people about leaving "gaps" for sin to act.
In warning the people, who would soon enter the promised land, Moses reveals something that was essential for them to do: everyone should fight to expel the occupants of that land (which included those who had already received their inheritance), or they would end up falling into a trap, for they would sin against God by disobeying Him, and such sin would find them in the future, that is, there would be consequences (see Numbers 32:20-23<\/mark><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is known that Israel did, in fact, have problems with this \u2014 with the rebellion of the two and a half tribes who did not want to participate in the battle because they were already settled \u2014 and even after they eventually gave in, they did not completely exterminate the pagan peoples who occupied the land, as can be seen throughout the book of Joshua.
As a consequence, paganism was not eradicated from the midst of God's people's dwelling, and for centuries\u2014as can be seen from the book of Judges to the end of the Old Testament\u2014Israel became corrupt, was punished by the Lord, corrected its course, and then, in the next generation, ended up returning to paganism and idolatry.
The main consequence of all this, in the Old Testament, was the Babylonian captivity that lasted for 70 years and, even more serious than that, the inability to recognize the Messiah Jesus Christ, which persists to this day (see Luke 13:34,35<\/mark><\/strong>; 19:41-44<\/mark><\/strong>).
All of this brings us back to the important warning recorded by the apostle Paul:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Therefore, putting away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.
Be angry, and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger.
Do not give the devil a foothold.
Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.<\/p>\n(Ephesians 4:25-30 \u2013 ACF)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Verses 27 and 30, in particular, must be highlighted: giving place to the devil\u2014that is, tolerating small slips and falls into temptations that appear to be of little importance\u2014is something that grieves the Holy Spirit and opens breaches for sin to "find" the Christian in the future, as is said in the words inspired by God to Moses.
The fight against sin must be relentless, even if slips and failures occur, because tolerating sin is like getting a spider web wrapped around your fingers: at first, a person can easily free themselves, but over time, their fingers can become so entangled that they will never be able to free themselves without help!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And sin\u2014whose worst consequence is eternal damnation\u2014has already been conquered by Christ, whose blood purifies us completely (see 1\u02e2\u1d57 John 1:6-9<\/mark><\/strong>And although in the world we may suffer the consequences of sins (our own or those of others), with Christ this situation is temporary: the Lord God, by His grace, sent the Savior to deliver humanity from the worst thing that exists, the eternal death that sin brings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, may our lives be a constant battle against the sinfulness we still carry, so that the Holy Spirit who dwells within us may not be grieved, but may have full freedom of action to mold us more and more each day into the image of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Savior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have seen so many ecclesiastical businesses that both They stopped calling sins by their name.<\/a> How they have abandoned the call for sinners to repentance!
It's certainly to avoid displeasing (and risking losing) the paying audience: that's called... APOSTASY<\/a>, one of the main evidence<\/a> That the end times are rapidly unfolding, and before the Lord returns like a thief in the night, the prophesied reign of the Antichrist must be consolidated not only in Brazil, but throughout the world!

\u201cConquista Sangrenta\u201d (no original \u201cFlesh & Blood\u201d) \u00e9 um filme de 1985, protagonizado por Jennifer Jason Leigh e pelo saudoso ator holand\u00eas Rutger Hauer (1944-2019), provavelmente mais conhecido por um filme anterior, o original de Blade Runner, de 1982.Ambientando na Europa medieval, o filme mostra o personagem de Hauer, Martin, liderando um grupo de rebeldes saqueadores que \u2014 ap\u00f3s desistirem de servir ao monarca local como mercen\u00e1rios e serem tra\u00eddos por ele \u2014 tomam um castelo e passam a ser perseguidos pelo comandante do ex\u00e9rcito.No grupo h\u00e1, inclusive, prostitutas (que se esbaldam em prazeres carnais com os soldados) e at\u00e9 um cardeal, que os admite ao ritual cat\u00f3lico da comunh\u00e3o (mesmo com plena ci\u00eancia de suas vidas desregradas) e n\u00e3o se importa em repreender os atos il\u00edcitos cometidos, sendo sua \u00fanica preocupa\u00e7\u00e3o a busca por supostos sinais divinos que permitam descobrir o que ele e os companheiros devem fazer. O detalhe \u00e9 que Agnes (personagem de Jennifer Jason Leigh) \u00e9 uma dama comprometida com o filho do Monarca, Steven, que acaba sendo sequestrada pelo grupo.Para resgat\u00e1-la, Steven os persegue juntamente com os militares at\u00e9 que acontece algo inusitado: Steven \u00e9 capturado e acorrentado pelo grupo, mas joga um peda\u00e7o da carne de um cachorro morto pela peste negra dentro do po\u00e7o, de modo que contamina a \u00e1gua que todos beber\u00e3o no dia seguinte.As prostitutas s\u00e3o as primeiras a sentir os sintomas da doen\u00e7a, entram em desespero e saem gritando: \u201c\u00c9 o castigo por sermos prostitutas!\u201d. CONSEQU\u00caNCIAS Esse \u00e9 o ponto sobre o qual somos chamados a refletir: embora seja totalmente impr\u00f3prio associar uma puni\u00e7\u00e3o espec\u00edfica a um pecado tamb\u00e9m espec\u00edfico (a menos, \u00e9 claro, que isso tenha sido anunciado por Deus), a verdade \u00e9 que pecados sempre tem consequ\u00eancias!Muitas vezes n\u00e3o s\u00e3o imediatas e nem claramente associadas a ele, mas simplesmente n\u00e3o existe pecado sem puni\u00e7\u00e3o: mesmo os mais insignificantes aos olhos dos homens tiveram de ser justi\u00e7ados \u2014 no caso, em Jesus \u2014 a fim de que o perd\u00e3o pudesse ser concedido a toda a humanidade. Por\u00e9m, ainda que pecado seja perdoado, as consequ\u00eancias do mesmo perduram.Quando uma pessoa comete um pecado e se arrepende sinceramente, o perd\u00e3o \u00e9 concedido (pois Jesus pagou o pre\u00e7o desse pecado na cruz), por\u00e9m as consequ\u00eancias do que a pessoa fez n\u00e3o v\u00e3o simplesmente desaparecer: algu\u00e9m que comete um assassinato pode receber perd\u00e3o divino em caso de sincero arrependimento, mas a v\u00edtima de seu ato n\u00e3o ir\u00e1 ressuscitar e quem o cometeu ter\u00e1 de responder por isso.Um casal ad\u00faltero que \u00e9 surpreendido por uma gravidez pode ser perdoado, mas a crian\u00e7a n\u00e3o ir\u00e1 desaparecer e eles ser\u00e3o obrigados a enfrentar as consequ\u00eancias do ato. Um exemplo claro disso \u00e9 o rei Davi, que cometeu um adult\u00e9rio e se envolveu em uma conspira\u00e7\u00e3o de assassinato (conforme 2\u00ba Samuel 11).Ap\u00f3s ser confrontado pelo profeta Nat\u00e3, ele reconheceu seu pecado, ouviu a declara\u00e7\u00e3o de Nat\u00e3 que estava perdoado, mas as consequ\u00eancias daquele ato n\u00e3o puderam ser anuladas: elas v\u00e3o desde a morte do seu filho rec\u00e9m-nascido (relato em 2\u00ba Samuel 12) e de mais dois, posteriormente \u2014 Amnon, que cometera incesto e Absal\u00e3o, que o matou e conspirou contra o reino de seu pai \u2014 at\u00e9 o ato degradante das rela\u00e7\u00f5es sexuais p\u00fablicas de Absal\u00e3o com as concubinas do pr\u00f3prio pai e sua conspira\u00e7\u00e3o contra ele, visando tomar seu reino, o que tamb\u00e9m lhe custou a vida (conforme 2\u00ba Samuel 15-18). AVISOS Mesmo antes destes acontecimentos \u2014 que se deram no tempo em que Israel j\u00e1 era uma na\u00e7\u00e3o estabelecida em sua terra \u2014 Deus j\u00e1 advertira o povo a respeito de se deixar \u201cbrechas\u201d para o pecado agir.Ao advertir o povo, que logo entraria na terra prometida, Mois\u00e9s revela algo que era imprescind\u00edvel que fizesse: todos deveriam lutar para expulsar os ocupantes daquela terra (o que inclu\u00eda os que j\u00e1 tinham recebido a sua heran\u00e7a), ou acabariam caindo em uma armadilha, pois pecariam contra Deus, desobedecendo-o, e tal pecado os acharia no futuro, ou seja, haveria consequ\u00eancias (vide N\u00fameros 32:20-23). Sabe-se que Israel, de fato, teve problemas com isso \u2014 com a rebeli\u00e3o das duas tribos e meia que n\u00e3o quiseram participar do combate por j\u00e1 estarem instaladas \u2014 e mesmo ap\u00f3s acabarem cedendo, n\u00e3o exterminaram completamente os povos pag\u00e3os que ocupavam a terra, como se pode ver ao longo do livro de Josu\u00e9.Como consequ\u00eancia, o paganismo n\u00e3o foi extinto do meio da habita\u00e7\u00e3o do povo de Deus e, por s\u00e9culos \u2014 como se pode ver desde o livro de Ju\u00edzes at\u00e9 o final do Antigo Testamento \u2014 Israel se corrompia, era punida pelo Senhor, corrigia seus rumos, e logo na gera\u00e7\u00e3o seguinte, acabava retornando ao paganismo e \u00e0 idolatria.A principal consequ\u00eancia de tudo isso, no Antigo Testamento, foi o cativeiro babil\u00f4nico que perdurou por 70 anos e, at\u00e9 mais grave que isso, a incapacidade de reconhecerem o Messias Jesus Cristo, que perdura at\u00e9 hoje (vide Lucas 13:34,35; 19:41-44).Tudo isso remete \u00e0 importante advert\u00eancia registrada pelo ap\u00f3stolo Paulo: Por isso deixai a mentira, e falai a verdade cada um com o seu pr\u00f3ximo; porque somos membros uns dos outros.Irai-vos, e n\u00e3o pequeis; n\u00e3o se ponha o sol sobre a vossa ira.N\u00e3o deis lugar ao diabo.Aquele que furtava, n\u00e3o furte mais; antes trabalhe, fazendo com as m\u00e3os o que \u00e9 bom, para que tenha o que repartir com o que tiver necessidade.N\u00e3o saia da vossa boca nenhuma palavra torpe, mas s\u00f3 a que for boa para promover a edifica\u00e7\u00e3o, para que d\u00ea gra\u00e7a aos que a ouvem.E n\u00e3o entriste\u00e7ais o Esp\u00edrito Santo de Deus, no qual estais selados para o dia da reden\u00e7\u00e3o. (Ef\u00e9sios 4:25-30 – ACF) Especialmente os vers\u00edculos 27 e 30 tem de ser destacados: dar lugar ao diabo \u2014 ou seja, tolerar pequenos deslizes e quedas em tenta\u00e7\u00f5es que aparentam n\u00e3o ser muito importantes \u2014 \u00e9 uma coisa que entristece o Esp\u00edrito Santo e abre brechas para que o pecado, futuramente, \u201cache\u201d o crist\u00e3o, como \u00e9 dito nas palavras inspiradas por Deus a Mois\u00e9s.A luta contra o pecado tem de ser incessante,<\/p>","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":20594,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[464],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-apologetica"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":464,"label":"Apolog\u00e9tica"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/runningsinner-1024x576.jpg",800,450,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"Eduardo Pydd Teixeira","author_link":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/author\/eduardo-pydd\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":464,"name":"Apolog\u00e9tica","slug":"apologetica","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":464,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":96,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":464,"category_count":96,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Apolog\u00e9tica","category_nicename":"apologetica","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/runningsinner.jpg",1920,1080,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/runningsinner-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/runningsinner-300x169.jpg",300,169,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/runningsinner-768x432.jpg",768,432,true],"large":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/runningsinner-1024x576.jpg",800,450,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/runningsinner-1536x864.jpg",1536,864,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/runningsinner.jpg",1920,1080,false],"trp-custom-language-flag":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/runningsinner.jpg",18,10,false],"mailpoet_newsletter_max":["https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/runningsinner.jpg",1320,743,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"Eduardo Pydd Teixeira","author_link":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/author\/eduardo-pydd\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"\u201cConquista Sangrenta\u201d (no original \u201cFlesh & Blood\u201d) \u00e9 um filme de 1985, protagonizado por Jennifer Jason Leigh e pelo saudoso ator holand\u00eas Rutger Hauer (1944-2019), provavelmente mais conhecido por um filme anterior, o original de Blade Runner, de 1982.Ambientando na Europa medieval, o filme mostra o personagem de Hauer, Martin, liderando um grupo de rebeldes…","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20575"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20575\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20594"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/piorevangelho.online\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
