Flesh Against the Spirit of God
God Made Man A Living Soul
Genesis 2: 7-9 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man
became a living soul.
8. And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he
put the man whom he had formed.
9. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is
pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the
midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil."
When Adom and Eve Fell, Satan Got Some Dominion Over Man's Flesh;
Satan Lured Eve Into a Dialogue And Overthew God's Patriarchal
Authority By Use of the Dialectic
Genesis 3: 1-8: "Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of
the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?2.
And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the
trees of the garden:3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the
midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither
shall ye touch it, lest ye die.4. And the serpent said unto the
woman, Ye shall not surely die:5. For God doth know that in the day
ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as
gods, knowing good and evil.6. And when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to
be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did
eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.7. And
the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked;
and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.8. And
they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool
of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of
the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden."
God Says "My Ways Are Higher Than Your Ways"
Isaiah 55: 7-9: "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous
man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have
mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my
ways, saith the LORD.
9. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways
higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Lean Not Unto Thine Own Understanding
Proverbs 3: 5-7: "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean
not unto thine own understanding.
6. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
7. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil."
Lust of the Flesh, Lust of the Eyes and the Pride of Life
I John 2: 15-17: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in
the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in
him.
16. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust
of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of
the world.
17. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that
doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
Human Flesh Wars Against the Spirit of God
"Romans 7: 9-14: "For I was alive without the law once: but when the
commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10. And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11. For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by
it slew me.
12. Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13. Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But
sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is
good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin."
Romans 7: 24-25 "O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from
the body of this death?
25. I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind
I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin."
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God:
for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because
they are spiritually discerned." I Corinthians 2; 14
"For the flesh lusteth against the
Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the
one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would."
Galatians 5:17
Galatians 5: 16-19: "This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye
shall not fulful the lust of the flesh....................
18. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these;
Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath,
strife, seditions, heresies,
21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the
which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that
they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."
Flesh and Blood Cannot Inherit The Kingdom of God
I Corinthians 15: 49-52 "And as we have borne the image of the
earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the
kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we
shall all be changed,
52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for
the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible,
and we shall be changed."
Have No Confidence In the Flesh
Philippians 3: 3-10: "For we are the circumcision, which worship God
in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in
the flesh.
4. Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man
thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more:
5. Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe
of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a
Pharisee;
6. Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the
righteousness which is in the law, blameless.
7. But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8. Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency
of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the
loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
9. And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is
of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the
righteousness which is of God by faith:"
10. That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the
fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;"
While We Are Dead In the Sins of the Flesh, God Quickes Us
Ephesians 2: 1-5: "And you hath he quickened, who were dead in
trespasses and sins; 2. Wherein in time past ye walked according to
the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the
air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3. Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the
lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the
mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4. But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5. Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with
Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)"
For Those Who Have the Spirit Within, There Is No Condemnation Because of the
Sins of the Flesh
"There is
therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who
walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me
free from the law of sin and death.
3. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the
flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and
for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: Because the carnal mind is
enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither
indeed can be.
8. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the
Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of
Christ, he is none of his." Romans 8: 1-3, 8-9
