"As Christians we must fight against the mighty powers of the flesh." Quote.
One of the most pathetic, childish, and peevish Christian teachings, that is most rightly mocked in the world, is the idiotic idea that our bodies are any kind of source for sinning, and bear any responsibility for any person sinning with the our body.
It's the most degenerate form of modern Christian liberalism: Neither the body nor the gun is the problem. It's only a well-made working tool given by God to do good and glorify Him on earth.
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
The body is not the enemy lying at the door.
I can thank God I did not grow up ever thinking in any way, that my body was any kind of reason for doing wrong. My body never ever guzzled beer without my permission. In fact, I had to make my body keep guzzling, until my poor body just passed out. The body left alone does two things only: Rest and sleep.
My dad would have slapped me silly, if I ever tried to blame my body for doing anything wrong. My Dad was a responsible man, that did not put up with insults to his intelligence.
This pathetic 'sin in the flesh' doctrine is shown by it's own results, that it is made for one purpose only, and that doesn't include knowledge on how not to sin, but the exact opposite. I have never heard this junk from any Christian, that did not also loudly proclaim what sinners they still are, and declare it's impossible to cease sinning with the flesh.
It was made by the devil for the express purpose of keeping people sinning, with a delusional excuse for it. The only Christians living as saints, are those who do not believe nor accept that sinning has anything to do with the nature of the flesh. The only way to cease sinning through the Spirit, is to cease thinking the body has any kind of mind or will of it's own.
If we sin, it's all on us, and it's only the soul that dies by sinning. That is the only truth and mind of Christ that delivers any man, woman, and child from the power of lust and sin in the heart and spirit. The power of the devil is the lie that lusting and sinning is in the flesh and blood of the body.
That sin lying at the door, that God warned Cain about, was any lie of the devil used for Cain to justify his lame sacrifice and corrupt life in God's site. And it only gets all the worse, when such a lie is dressed up under the guise of 'doctrine'. And the worst insult is trying to say it comes from God Himself in the Bible.
The lie of the devil and the world, is that any person ever does anything wrong, because God 'made us that way'. I always wondered why God in James 1 had to defend Himself against such a stupid slander, so that He is actually the tempter of man to sin. I mean, how can any normal human being blame their body or getting drunk, much less God??
Only when I learned of this 'sin nature' rubbish from some Christians, did I realize why God has to make sure in His Bible, that no man ever thinks it's God's fault for man ever sinning with their own bodies.
It wasn't God's fault for Lucifer sinning with his own spirit body, and it certainly isn't God's fault for people sinning with our natural bodies.
How does one really argue with stupid, that says we must fight against the "mighty power of the flesh", in order not to sin against God with our own flesh?? All we Christian saints can do is just mock it for the stupid it is. And tell other Christians to just repent and grow up already, and stop blaming their 'body' for their own continued sinning with the world.
This is exactly why God commands His people not to keep fellowship with certain confessors of Christian faith, so that such stupid stuff does not rub off on us, nor will others think us guilty by association.
