Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount announces four curses:
"But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your confort.
Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
Whoe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets." Luke 6:24-26
But where do these curses come from? Truth and falsehood belong to opposite gender, truth to the gender of being and falsehood to the gender of not being, something is false or true, there is nothing in between, like between good and evil (there is an intermediate state between good and evil dominate by the emotions). From falsehood comes the inclination to error. The teaching of the error is called heresy.
We have a few examples of heresy in the new testament:
*The law of the Talion, "eye for eye and tooth for tooth" in Matthew 5:38, a common heresy against mercy.
*"Love your neighbor and hate your enemy", in Matthew 5:43 an heresy against the commandment of Love.
*The law of Moses in the case of the prostitute who must be stoned to death in John 8:7 an heresy against mercy and love.
*The Simony (Acts 8:18-20), the heresy of wanting to buy sacred things, in this case spiritual gifts, with money, an heresy against the gratuitousness of gifts.
Jesus explains that all who practice heresy are under a curse, because heresy has a goal, the works of the flesh: "The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissension, factions and envy, drunkenness, orgies and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5:19-21
Curses can only be reversed by rejecting heresies: "But whoever practices the truth comes into the light", John 3:21. The spiritual gifts are way, truth and life (John 14:6), the spiritual gifts are way because they are progressive, tends to improvement, the gifts are truth because they are the precise and the exact, the gifts also improve life. Rejecting heresies implies living the gifts received from God, that is to search the correct and the best, the correct for the spiritual gift of counsel and the best for the mercy.
We have to choose between promises and curses, between God and money, between the flesh and the spirit.
