  13. Betrayal, real or imagined, can also lead to all kinds of bad emotional sins

  14. Categories of the Emotional Complex of Sins:

  15. 1. The hysteria category includes fear, worry, anxiety, panic, consternation, and irrationality.

  16. 2. The revenge category includes malice, revenge motivation and it being your way of life, the lust to inflict injury or suffering on others, violence, murder, gossip, slander, maligning, judging and vilification.

  17. 3. The hatred category includes anger, hatred, bitterness, jealousy, loathing, animosity, implacability.

  18. 4. The irrational category includes tantrums, vulnerability to imagined insults, snubs and further betrayal, self-pity, whining, sniveling, denial, projection, vindication and neurosis.

  19. 5. The guilt category includes remorse for real or imagined sins, morbid self-reproach, emotional feelings of culpability, self-righteous arrogance, arrogant preoccupation with one's feelings and impulses,…

  20. ... guilt resulting from the manipulation of legalism, arrogant preoccupation with the correctness of one's behavior.

  21. The emotional complex of sins is a hybrid, combining the sins of the emotional complex with the sins of the arrogance complex. Rom 16:17-18; 2 Cor 6:11-12; 7:10-11; Eph 4:31; Phil 3:18-19.

  22. 2 Cor 6:12,“You are not restrained by us, but you are restrained in your own emotions.”

  23. Phil 3:18-19, “For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ,…

  24. ... whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite (emotions), and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things.”

  25. The Pattern of Recovery from Broken Trust

  26. 1. The outer layer represents your most recent hurtful experience, that damages a relationship causing grief and suffering in the moment.

  27. We react through obsessive behavior and forget about any other episodes that most likely caused this current situation, or our negative reaction.

  28. 2. Taking time to peel back the outer layer we will see and remember previous incidents of broken trust, or actions we have taken that may have led to the current situation.

  29. 3. Peeling another layer we find earlier betrayal(s), even going back to our childhood that have left an impression on us and scar tissue of the soul that makes current betrayal(s) even more traumatic.

  30. 4. Peel another layer and some say this is where inherited betrayal is stored, betrayal perpetrated against our ancestors.

  31. In Christianity we call this the inherited Old Sin Nature passed down from Adam (Romans 5:12-13).

  32. This is the void in the life of the unbeliever because of spiritual death, without a relationship with God.

  33. This then leads to feelings of being unsafe which has been going on since original sin entered the earth.

  34. That is why Adam and the woman covered themselves with fig leaves, (Gen 3:7), they had a feeling of nakedness, being unprotected due to the Sin Nature now flourishing in their souls.

  35. Gen 3:7, “Then the eyes of both of them were opened (to their sin), and they knew that they were naked (empty and void); and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.”

  36. Principle: Sinful man is always trying to cover up his sin and emptiness with the wrong things.
