You are looking only at the surface of things. God's discipline is attributed to Satan, and made light of. The obvious promptings of the flesh are assumed to be the spirit, or even of the soul. The soul is confused with the flesh and spirit. We don't dare look to see for fear of realizing how badly we are doing.
Ignorance is bliss.
Clearly, we need to learn to judge properly before we act. We need discernment. It is not good to have zeal without knowledge, nor to be hasty and miss the way. The moral of this is that we should make no hasty or premature judgments. We might achieve real faith.
