  1. Hello and welcome to another beautiful episode of Saint Simon.
  2. Chief Gina Highly of Ministry Online in is your host
  3. Jack. So why is this youth minister here at Saint
  4. Simon and Jude?
  5. And the sun is shining.
  6. There's a squirrel outside my window, which means it's a
  7. great day to connect you to your faith.
  8. And so well, let me answer this question of internal
  9. components or what does it mean to be human And
  10. so, as always, right?
  11. We have stepping stones to help us get to understand
  12. this idea.
  13. Answer this.
  14. So we have who we are, set apart care and
  15. your take away points off what you should take away
  16. from this video on what you can understand and hopefully
  17. growing knowledge from this video.
  18. So let's dive right in.
  19. Right. So we all have an amazing sort of technology
  20. out of things of all time, right?
  21. We have our phones and they bring us life, right?
  22. We love her means we love Arctic talk.
  23. We love our YouTube and APS, but what we do
  24. on that phone gets the battery starts to die, right?
  25. We charge leading to chart it right.
  26. We need to give it life, and that's the source
  27. of all power from the phone.
  28. Is that battery?
  29. Right? But another thing that gives me life and bring
  30. great joy min is my dog, right?
  31. And I don't know about you guys, but I've never
  32. seen someone charged her dog.
  33. There's no power cord, too.
  34. Charge a dog.
  35. Dogs don't have batteries.
  36. And so, as we can see, we're kind of hit
  37. a point, right that dogs and phones are completely different.
  38. And so let's move forward.
  39. Cats and hairbrushes.
  40. So dogs and phones, right?
  41. They're different, and objects have life or living like a
  42. plant or a cat.
  43. You and I, inanimate objects on non living then, such
  44. as hairbrushes or cookies or a phone right, even though
  45. our phone brings us life.
  46. It's not a living in mint thing, and so now
  47. it's time for a story.
  48. And so when I was in college, right, we have
  49. this routine every time we enter a new class right
  50. of the during semester with professor assets is ice breaker
  51. questions, and one of them was like was the most
  52. embarrassing thing during your childhood, and the stroll raised her
  53. hand. She's like, um when I was four, I had
  54. a pet hair brush and I kid you not.
  55. You could hear a pin drop from the other side
  56. of that hallway because it was so quiet, like we
  57. all turned to the scream like What?
  58. What are you talking about?
  59. She's like, Yeah, a hairbrush And I was a kid.
  60. Well, she went on to explain it, that her parents
  61. were looks to cats and she and they didn't like
  62. dogs, but they gave his hair brushes.
  63. Like all this is your This is like a cat,
  64. you know, this is a pet.
  65. You could take care of it and take it everywhere
  66. and love it.
  67. But that's not really a pet.
  68. That's not really and am object that could express love
  69. or feeling right.
  70. It's just a hairbrush.
  71. As you can see, the cost vacations between and men
  72. and Amun objects are pretty straightforward, right?
  73. Cats are alive that can grow that camp, reproduce, eat
  74. and sleep and adventure.
  75. They dives their hair brushes and then hand not alive.
  76. Hopefully, they're not growing.
  77. They can't where they can't do anything besides what they're
  78. designed to.
  79. D'oh! That doesn't eat or sleep and can't die.
  80. So as you can see it now, right where we
  81. can say huh?
  82. We're more like the cats, right?
  83. With all these boxes were checking.
  84. But what brings us our charge?
  85. Right? We're not phone.
  86. So it Aha!
  87. Battery to give us life.
  88. So what is our battery that gives us all this
  89. life and energy?
  90. So as we said above right, we're animate objects with
  91. living things We grow and we eventually die.
  92. But our contar component, what makes us human and gives
  93. us life is called Arcel.
  94. So now he hits the point right where we figured
  95. out what gives us life right?
  96. What is that smart energy that gives us Life is
  97. our soul.
  98. But what sets us apart now that we have this
  99. soul So human beings are unique from God's other creation,
  100. right? We're different from the plants were different from all
  101. the animals were different filmed up that swirl in a
  102. a quart right in front of me because we are
  103. made of above a body and a soul.
  104. And so there's different philosophers that will argue that our
  105. bodies and souls are separate.
  106. But in reality or no, they're want they are together,
  107. which makes us who we are.
  108. So what's dive into this idea of a soul?
  109. So our soul is not a physical aspect of the
  110. body, right?
  111. They're not descendant or foreign or given to us by
  112. our parents or genetics.
  113. Often time.
  114. We hear that our physical attributes all the time.
  115. We have the squad's trees that are seven short parents,
  116. right? So if your pants have blond hair and belies
  117. your most likely an employer, bon app.
  118. Allies. If your parents are six feet tall and mostly
  119. Commies, most likely in a 63 talk your parents are
  120. the carriers of genome are 62.
  121. You're going to be a carrier for Gino are 62.
  122. Those are basic visual aspects through our genetics and DNA
  123. that gets passed down.
  124. But does our soul get past them?
  125. Well, our souls on the HUD a hand are created
  126. by God and are given to us the moment our
  127. existence begin.
  128. So the moment are your existence began.
  129. God crafted in gravy, your soul so our soul doesn't
  130. come from her parents doesn't come from a DNA sequencing
  131. or genetics.
  132. It comes from God, so we're able to think about
  133. complex ideas, thanks to the salt right and the world.
  134. And with these complex ideas, we're gonna think about the
  135. world around us in a way that animals cannot.
  136. So the difference between me and the squirrel sitting right
  137. next to me giving me the stink eye is I
  138. can think about these grand ideas, right?
  139. I am conscious off the world assigned me other than
  140. my basic survival needs, right?
  141. I could think about was you to be a good
  142. person. What does that mean?
  143. To be wants me to be happy was mean to
  144. love God.
  145. Well, this little guy can't, right?
  146. Hey, can only think about looking at me and nine
  147. on that acorn.
  148. And this is what makes us distinctly human.
  149. Is this idea of complexity, right?
  150. That we can think about other things outside our survival
  151. needs, right?
  152. We're rational creatures, thanks to these souls.
  153. So now that we have the assholes right, So, like,
  154. how do we care for it?
  155. Right since were called and made an image of God
  156. like last week's video.
  157. Right then we are called to take care of there's
  158. and be stewards of God's creation.
  159. And so If our soul is part of God's creation,
  160. how do we take care about that?
  161. Yeah, the first level right based privilege.
  162. It's good to take part.
  163. Take care of God's creation.
  164. It's good to love our pets.
  165. It goes to be kind and gentle nature animals.
  166. I love you, little fat blacks, blacks.
  167. Well, it's sitting right there and because whether these are
  168. part of God's creations is also good to take part
  169. of the earth and all God has made.
  170. And because God gives the responsibility.
  171. Right? So but only should we love animals and take
  172. care of it?
  173. You should take care of everything on this earth, right?
  174. So we should care about pollution we should care about
  175. aren't Byrant We should care about every big into hunting,
  176. hunting responsibly and not poaching.
  177. Right, cause these air gods responsibility given to us, right?
  178. There's a heavily idea that some Christians believe right, that
  179. God created all these things for us to be Dominion
  180. over. But reality is God wants God grant us the
  181. building. To be stewards of of this right is to
  182. show the same respect to these environments system innings as
  183. we show one another remember back to last week's food
  184. and we talked about since we're all made in the
  185. image of God, then we should all socially respect and
  186. love. And so this should go conclude our virus are
  187. animals. So that's one part of that, right?
  188. So it's moving the second part of it, right.
  189. While it's great to love the environment and the animals,
  190. it's also important for us to realize our price and
  191. creation. Right responsibility.
  192. We have to take care of ourselves and other people.
  193. It's me.
  194. It's caring for our bodies as well as our souls.
  195. So are the very basic level right way show respect
  196. for the love of the environment, right in the animals.
  197. But this also jumps to us, right that since we
  198. have souls and were made in the image of God,
  199. we should take care of it.
  200. We should take care of our bodies, and that's something
  201. like eating, healthy, exercising, maybe maybe having activities, right, using
  202. your talents and also jumps to mental health right and
  203. taking steps to improve and gain and more Konya mental
  204. health. And so as we move closer, right, we're moving
  205. from an outside world to ourselves And now we're gonna
  206. answer this question of how do we take care of
  207. our souls?
  208. So take care of our souls may look like a
  209. lot of different things for a lot of different people,
  210. Right? Maybe it's praying.
  211. Maybe it's growing in the knowledge of God and all
  212. of his T sheet and developing good relationships with other
  213. people in our love for God and other people.
  214. So just to give you some ideas, maybe it's praying.
  215. Maybe it's working to worship music.
  216. Maybe it's doing a reflection of consciousness.
  217. All these things help us improve our health, the souls,
  218. and do what God calls us to Dio.
  219. And so have you learnt in the last couple videos,
  220. right? The more we do good, the more we do
  221. what God wants us to do, the happier we become
  222. and the closer we come to God.
  223. And so, as you see from these three boxes, right,
  224. our world goes from carrying for the external world, right?
  225. All all the trees, all the squirrels are the dogs,
  226. all the environment.
  227. Two. Taking care of her body is because that's the
  228. name of God's creation in our minds.
  229. That's, um, that's the name of God's creation to all
  230. the way down to taking care of our souls.
  231. Our lifeblood of what?
  232. Off what?
  233. God gives us life to it by praying by worsened
  234. the worst thing about going to church by being a
  235. good person that got close to be.
  236. You're improving these things and leaving close to God.
  237. And so what you should take away from these videos
  238. is is thes points, right.
  239. Our souls, our internal meaning, our bodies die.
  240. But our souls do not write.
  241. Our souls will go into heaven.
  242. Our souls are created by God and given to us
  243. the moment our our existence.
  244. So they're not genetic, and they were created by God
  245. and got on me.
  246. John looks at everything he created and saw that it
  247. was good.
  248. And so we must do that as good, right?
  249. We're stewards of God's creation.
  250. And so just like those three baht box of care,
  251. we must take care of our environment.
  252. Mrs. Take care of our our bodies to be healthy
  253. and our minds be healthy and we must take care
  254. of our souls to be healthy.
  255. We've been created.
  256. Very good God set us apart.
  257. were the most complex of all of God's creation, and
  258. we standing in equal a as both body and so
  259. made in the image selections of God got to give
  260. him glory in all of creation and care.
  261. So basically, guys, those three boxes, just three ideas of
  262. taking care is what we should strive to dio who
  263. should strive to take care of the environment.
  264. We should just drive to take care of our bodies
  265. and our mental shish, which also strive to take care
  266. of our souls.
  267. Because when we do this, we're sharing in the glory
  268. and we're walking with God and all of his creations.
  269. So, guys, I hope that answers your questions off arm
  270. turn components and you have a basic understanding of what
  271. makes us us and how our souls are so much
  272. more than just a thing that we talked about peace.
