[SIZE=10pt]We are Flesh and Spirit. BOTH must LIVE for us to fully function, as GOD intends.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Jesus is the God of ALL Flesh (all races).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Jesus explained about the TWO prime components of the human being (= living soul).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Our Spirit is from the Father, who breathed (Breath and Spirit) into Adam,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who was yet dust, of the earth, in the shape of a man.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]The RECOGNIZING of OUR TWO PARTS:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Matt.26[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][41] Watch and pray, so that you do not enter into temptation.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Your Spirit (the primary #1) indeed is willing but your Flesh (the secondary #2) is weak.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]John.3[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][6] Whoever (the person who) is born of Flesh[/SIZE] is Flesh (Fleshy only = Phase #1).
[SIZE=10pt]The person who is born (birthed) of the Spirit is spirit. (Spiritual = Phase #2)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]We are Flesh ONLY until our Spirit is made alive (birthed; Rom.8:10),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]by Christ through the Spirit, after Baptism.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Rom.8[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][1] Now therefore there is no condemnation (by GOD) to Christians, who are in Christ Jesus,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who do not walk after their Flesh but walk after their Spirit.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][3] What the law could not do (that is, give life to the Spirit) in that it was weak through the human flesh[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]GOD sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and because of sin, condemned sin in our flesh[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][4] so that the righteousness of the Moses law might be fulfilled in us, (Christians)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who do not walk after our Flesh but after our Spirit.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][5] For the people who are after their flesh[/SIZE] mind the things of their Flesh (#2)
[SIZE=10pt]but the people who are after their Spirit (mind) the things of their Spirit. (#1)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][8] So then the people who are in their Flesh[/SIZE] cannot please GOD (and need help from Christ)
[SIZE=10pt][9] But you (baptized converts who have the Gift of the Spirit), are not in your Flesh[/SIZE] but in your Spirit
[SIZE=10pt]if so be that (after baptism) the Spirit of GOD lives in you.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][10] and if Christ (by the same Spirit) is in you,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]then your body/ Flesh is dead because of sin, (the curse of sin and death under the law)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but your Spirit is life (alive) because of righteousness (by faith in Jesus and his Father).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][11] But if the Spirit of GOD (the Supreme), who raised up Jesus from the dead,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]lives in you (after baptism)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]then the Most High, who raised up Christ (the God of Old Israel), from the dead,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]shall also quicken your mortal bodies (Flesh) by his Spirit that (NOW) lives in you (and NEVER leaves)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]1Cor.5[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][46] However, the creation (from GOD and Christ) that is Spiritual was not created firstly[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but the (Phase #1), human creation that is natural.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Then after the coming of Christ, (our Maker), the New Creation, that is Spiritual. (Phase #2)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]John.6[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][63] It is your Spirit that quickens, (gives ABUNDANT Life to the Body).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Your Flesh does not profit anything. (Emphasis on the Energizing Human Spirit)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Jas.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][26] …Your body/ Flesh without your Spirit is dead…..[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Luke.8[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][54] Jesus (the God of all Flesh) put all of them out and he took her by the hand and he called her saying:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Maid, arise.
[55
] and her Spirit (#1) returned (to her Body, #2)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and she arose straightway and he commanded to give her meat.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Qoh.1[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][6] Or ever the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl be broken,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
[7
] Then the dust (human Flesh # 2) shall return to the earth like it (originally) was[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and your Spirit (#1) shall return to GOD (the Father) who gave it.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Rom.7[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][4] Therefore, my brethren[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]You also have become dead to the Moses law by the (dead) Body of Christ[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that you should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that we should bring forth fruit (good deeds to men), to GOD.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][5] For when we were in our Flesh[/SIZE], the motions (actions) of sins, that were by means of the (Moses) law,
[SIZE=10pt]worked in our members (body parts) to bring forth fruit to death.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][6] But now we are liberated from the law, being dead (in the Law) wherein we were held[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]So that we should serve (love and goodness), in newness of (our) Spirit,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and not in the oldness of the letter[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]***[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Every believer MUST, immediately, have the Spirit of GOD.[/SIZE]​
[SIZE=10pt]The Work in us is done by Christ and GOD through the Spirit in us.[/SIZE]​
[SIZE=10pt]Jesus gives us the Spirit after CORRECT Baptism at Step #2.[/SIZE]​
[SIZE=10pt]The enlightened ONES fight to have the VITAL TRUTH remain and used.[/SIZE]​
[SIZE=10pt]***[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Rom.8[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][9] Now if any man does not have the Spirit of Christ (the same Holy Spirit of GOD),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]then he does not belong to Christ (the Maker of Israel)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][12] Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, but not to our Flesh[/SIZE] to live after our Flesh.
[SIZE=10pt][13] For if you live after your Flesh then you[/SIZE] shall die (in your Primary part that is your Spirit).
[SIZE=10pt]But if through, (help from) the Spirit (of GOD) you mortify (kill)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]the (hurtful, unfruitful) deeds of the body (flesh)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt] then you shall live (Spiritually with abundant life).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Rom.9[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][6] Not as though the (accomplishing) Word of GOD, has not taken effect[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but because all of the Israelites are not (Spiritual) Israel, who are of (the nation of) Israel
[7
] Neither, because the Israelites are the (natural) seed of Abraham, are they all the children (of GOD):[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]But in Isaac your seed shall be called (by GOD to Christ).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][8] That is:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]the Israelites who are the children of the Flesh are not the children of GOD[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but the children that GOD’s promised (the Prophets) are counted for the seed.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Rom.13[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][13] Let us walk honestly, like in the DAY (of enlightenment)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and not in rioting and drunkenness,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]not in chambering and wantonness,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]not in strife and envying. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][14] But put on the LORD Jesus Christ (the eldest Son),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and make no provision for your Flesh, to fulfill the lusts (desires) thereof.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]1Cor.5[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][5] .. Deliver such a person to Satan for the destruction of his Flesh (#2)[/SIZE],
[SIZE=10pt]so that his Spirit (#1) may be saved in the Day of the LORD Jesus (the Mighty God of Israel)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]2Cor.4[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][11] For we who live (ARE ALIVE in our Spirit) are always delivered to death because of Jesus' sake,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that the life of Jesus might be made manifest (visible) in our mortal Flesh.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]2Cor.7[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][1] Dearly beloved, having these (good N.T.) promises,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]let us (through studying and doing the Word) cleanse ourselves[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]from all filthiness of our Flesh and our Spirit [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]perfecting our holiness, (uncommon goodness), in our fear/ regard for God (the good Jesus).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]2Cor.10[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][2] But I beg you,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]In order that I may not be bold when I am present with that (my) confidence (in GOD and Christ),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]with which I think to be bold against some people,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who consider us (Apostles) like if we walked according to the Flesh. (natural mind)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][3] For though we (Apostles) walk in our Flesh[/SIZE], we do not war after (the desires of) our Flesh:
[SIZE=10pt][4] (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, [/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]But are mighty through GOD, to the pulling down of strong holds)
[5
] Casting down (personal) imaginations,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and every high thing (obstacle) that exalts itself against our Knowledge of God (and his Father)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and bringing into captivity every (personal) thought,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to obedience (and not faith only) of Christ, (in faith in BOTH, and love and good deeds)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Gal.3[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][2] This only would I inquire from you:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Did you get the Spirit (of GOD), by your deeds from the (Moses) law,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Or did you get it by the hearing of faith (in Jesus Christ and GOD, the Most High)?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][3] Are you so foolish (about GOD and Christ) that having begun in the Spirit (of GOD),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]You are now made perfect by your (weak) Flesh?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Gal.4[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][23] But he (Ishmael) who was from the bondwoman was born after the Flesh[/SIZE];
[SIZE=10pt]but he (Isaac who was born) from the freewoman (Sarah),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]was by promise (from GOD and the Word = Jesus to Abraham. Gen.15:1)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][29] But like in their case, he (Ishmael), who was born after the Flesh[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]persecuted him (Isaac) who was born after the Spirit,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]even so it is now (between the Christians and the other Israelites).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Gal.5[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][13] For, (Christian) brethren:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]You have been called to liberty; (from the Moses Law for Righteousness)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Only do not use your liberty for an opportunity to (selfishly) serve your flesh[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]but (use your liberty) by (means of your) love, to serve one another[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][14] For the entire (Moses) law is fulfilled in one word, even in this:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]You shall love your neighbor like you love yourself.
[15
] But if you (the Spirit filled) bite and devour one another,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]then take heed that you are not consumed by one another.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][16] This I say then:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Walk in your Spirit (#1) and you shall not fulfill the lust (desires) of your Flesh (#2).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][17] Your flesh[/SIZE] lusts (fights) against your Spirit and your Spirit (fights) against your flesh
[SIZE=10pt]and these TWO are contrary (opposed) to one another,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]so that you cannot do the things that you would.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][18] But if you are LED by the Spirit (of GOD, since your Baptism),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]then you are not under the (Moses) law.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]***[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Gal.5
[19
] Now the deeds of the Flesh are manifest (known), which are the following:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness (excessive sexual desire),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][20] idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance (disagreement), emulations, wrath, strife,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]seditions, heresies,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][21] envying, murders, drunkenness, reveling, and such like:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]about which I repeat to you, like I have also told you before in the past,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that the (natural) people who do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of GOD.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][22] But the Fruit of the Spirit (after Baptism) is:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith (in the Mighty God and the Father),
[23
] meekness and temperance.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Against such (good qualities) there is no law.
[24
] and they who belong to Christ have crucified their Flesh with its affections and lusts (desires).
[25[/SIZE]] If we live in our Spirit then let us also walk in the Spirit.
[26] Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, or envying one another.

[SIZE=10pt]Gal.6[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][7] Be not deceived; God (Jesus) is not mocked:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]for whatever a man sows, exactly that he shall also reap.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][8] He who sows to his Flesh (#2)[/SIZE] shall reap corruption from his flesh
[SIZE=10pt]but he who sows to the Spirit (#1)shall reap life everlasting (immortality) from the Spirit[/SIZE]


[SIZE=10pt]1Pet.1[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][24] All Flesh[/SIZE] is like grass and all of the glory of man is like the flower of the grass.
[SIZE=10pt]The grass withers, and the flower thereof falls away:[/SIZE]


[SIZE=10pt]1Pet.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][11] Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims ( on the earth)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]abstain from Fleshly lusts (inclinations) that war against the soul (the Spirit);[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][12] Having your conversation honestly among the Gentiles[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that, whereas they speak against you like if you are evildoers,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]by your good works (to others), that they shall observe,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]they shall glorify God (Jesus) in the day of visitation.[/SIZE]


[SIZE=10pt]1Pet.3[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][18] For Christ (the Mighty God of Israel) has once suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]so that he might bring (gather) us to GOD,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]being put to death in the Flesh (only), but quickened by the Spirit (of GOD):[/SIZE]


[SIZE=10pt]2Pet.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][10] But chiefly the Israelites who walk after the Flesh[/SIZE] in the lust of uncleanness
[SIZE=10pt]and who despise government (the Apostles).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]They are presumptuous. They are self willed.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]They are not afraid to speak evil about dignities (Jesus and the Apostles).[/SIZE]


[SIZE=10pt]1John.2[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][16] For all that is in the world (of Israel), the lust of the Flesh[/SIZE] and the lust of the eyes,
[SIZE=10pt]and the pride of life, is not from the Father but is from the world (Israelite men).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]1Cor.6[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][19] What?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Don’t you (baptized converts) know,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that your body (Flesh) is the Temple of the Holy Ghost, that you have from GOD, that lives in you[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and that you are not your own?[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][20] For you are bought with a price[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Therefore glorify God (Jesus) in your Body (#2)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and in your Spirit (#1), which are God's (Jesus’)[/SIZE]


[SIZE=10pt]Matt.10[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][28] Do not fear the Israelites who kill the Body (#2)[/SIZE], but are not able to kill the soul (Spirit #2)
[SIZE=10pt]but rather fear GOD who is able to destroy both soul (Spirit) and Body in hell.[/SIZE]



[SIZE=10pt]1Thes.5[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][23]…the very GOD of peace wholly sanctify you[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and I pray GOD your whole Spirit and Soul and Body be blamelessly preserved,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]unto the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ. (the ONE God of Israel = the Son of God)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]***[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]FINALLY:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Humans, who are a creation of Jesus and our Father, are comprised of TWO main components.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]We are a BODY (physical) and a SPIRIT (spiritual).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Hereunder Jesus, the benevolent heavenly being, who created of all things,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]who graciously lowered himself and took on human nature to come among us,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]speaks Spiritually (metaphorically), about the Spiritual side of our Life.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]*[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]John.10[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][7] Jesus said, additionally, to them:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Verily, verily, I (the Son of GOD = the incarnated God of Israel), say to you:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]I am the door of the sheep (of GOD).
[8
] All (False Teachers), who came before me,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]are (SPIRITUAL) thieves and (SPIRITUAL) robbers but the sheep did not hear them.
[9
] I am the door, (into the family of GOD and into association with the Highest, living being),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]If any man enters in by me, he shall be (POSITIVELY and ETERNALLY) saved[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and he shall go in and out and find pasture.
[10
] The (SPIRITUAL) thief (unauthorized Preacher, the hireling of men)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]comes to (SPIRITUALLY) steal (from you),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]to (SPIRITUALLY) kill (you).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and to (SPIRITUALLY) destroy (you).[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]I, (the God, of the Prophets, who give the Life giving Spirit of GOD)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]have come that they, (of Israel firstly), might have LIFE, (super charged energy),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]and that they might have it, (quickening of BODY and Spirit)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]more abundantly (through the Gift of the Spirit of the Most High, the Gracious Father of everyone) [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Below is another supporting Scripture, about this previously unknown LIFE,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]from Christ who was with his Father from the beginning and who BOTH are our creators. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]John.7[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][37] In the last day, that great day, of the feast, (with the nation of Israel being present)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Jesus (their incarnated God), stood up and (PUBLICLY) shouted saying:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]If any man (Israelite), thirsts (for the Spirit of Life),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]then let him come to me (the God of Israel) and drink, (from the Spirit of GOD, our good Father.)
[38
] He (the Israelite), who believes on me (the Christ = the God of Israel),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]like the Scripture (of Isaiah) has promised:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]“Out of his belly shall flow,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt](overflowing) rivers of Living (life giving) water” (= the Spirit of GOD that gives UNUSUAL ENERGY)
[39
] [Jesus stated this about the Spirit (of GOD),[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]that they, (the Apostles and disciples, firstly) who believe on him,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]would receive (from him after baptism, and starting at Pentecost circa 30 A.D.][/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]for the Holy Ghost (the Spirit of the Father) was not yet given[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]because Jesus was not yet [dead, resurrected and], glorified.)[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]The Father’s Spirit, that generates high mental and physical ENERGY in an individual,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]is gotten, through a Particular approach to Christ.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]This approach is correct Baptism, calling on Him.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]We call on Jesus, from under the water, and he responds immediately.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Rev.22[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt][1] The angel showed to me a pure river of Water of Life (the Holy Spirit), clear like crystal,[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]proceeding out of the throne of God (Jesus) and of the Lamb (Jesus).[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]Nothing starts without the PARTICULAR baptism.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=10pt]The beat to all…[/SIZE]
