It is infuriating to hear the excuse “Everybody’s human!” Although the statement is true, the excuse is often used in avoiding behavior that is often more animal than human. When it comes to affairs, the cheater often wants you to ‘allow’ them to engage in their animal like behavior in terms of getting it on with any member of the opposite sex they find attractive. It is more akin to an animal being in heat than to human behavior. Humans live according to principles, civility, morals and their own commitments. Animals just give into their drives when they are aroused.
Some cheaters may be weird enough to consider them alien. Although they may not act human, they are human. The claim that they are alien is nothing more than another excuse to dismiss their weirdness or perversions.
When you get tired of cheaters rutting around, hold them accountable for their humanity. If they want to claim that “Everybody’s human!”, use it as a way to hold them accountable for their promises, their commitments and being a person of their word instead of using it to allow their baser qualities to be the order of the day.

Ecc 3:18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men,
that God might manifest them,
and that they might SEE that THEY THEMSELVES ARE BEASTS
“beasts’ are a similitude in the word for man apart from God , carnal man, the “flesh”.
Dan 7:17 These great beasts, which are four, [are] four kings, [which] shall arise out of the earth.
1Cr 15:32 If after the manner of men I have fought with BEASTS at Ephesus, what advantageth it me, if the dead rise not? let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die.
beasts =PEOPLE
In Paul’s reference it was battling with those who opposed the Word.
Tts 1:12 One of themselves, [even] a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians [are] alway liars, evil BEASTS, slow bellies.
2Pe 2:12 But these, as natural brute BEASTS, made to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption;
Jud 1:10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute BEASTS, in those things they corrupt themselves.
Note they trust in what they :”know NATURALLY” as in natural man receives NOT the things of the SPIRIT neither can he KNOW them
Dispite the discussions people have around this ‘mark of the Beast’ one might consider …if the BEAST is referring to the flesh …carnal man …natural man apart from he who is under the LORDSHIP and direction of the LORD and HIS WORD…then …the “mark’ in the ‘forehead’ and in the ‘hand’ is not that hard to see.
It is in the forehead ..where thoughts are …which effectively ‘guide’ or direct’ a persons life ..choices…behavior.
To have the ‘mark’ of the ‘beast’ in the forehead’ is not a physical mark but a spiritual identification that is indicated by way of actions and behaviors ….not ‘reined’ by the WORD …it is to have the MIND of flesh …carnal mind which according to the WORD is ‘enmity against the LORD”
Rom 8:7 Because the carnal mind [is] enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:6 For to be carnally minded [is] death; but to be spiritually minded [is] life and peace.
You can also identify whether a person has a devoted disciplined walk by what they DO …aka ‘the HAND ‘ …
Luk 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Rev 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received [his]MARK UPON THEIR FOREHEADS, or in their HANDS; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
Jam 1:8 A double minded man [is] unstable in all his ways
We do not get to excuse sin by way of saying we are ‘only human’
Where it ‘counts’ and to whom it ‘counts ‘ we are given all we need to ‘rein ‘ in the flesh by way of the renewed mind….and we are called to mortify the works of the flesh …not to feed them!
Jam 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse [your] hands, [ye] sinners; and purify [your] hearts, [ye] double minded.
Rom 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
The renewed mind …kept fresh daily ..trumps the sin and the temptations we all face in this life….
No respect of persons ,stations or conditions…it is a level playing field since Christ came…mercy is that we are allow TIME to turn to seek and to enable obedience to change our destination eternally.
How awesomely patient our Savior is as he awaits our response to make HIM Lord over our thoughts and thus our behavior as we learn obedience even as HE did also~
Hbr 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Jesus Christ LEARNED to submit…even unto death for our sake ! How little time we often give to regard this …and thus how much we owe Him ultimately of our time and lives..which HE bought ..and owns….wow
