Romans 8:7-9 King James Version (KJV)
So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 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.
Edit to add, the flesh is very evident in man/ woman when they speak, imo/ belief....
Works of the FleshEdit
Paul lists the works of the flesh (verses 19–21) as the behaviors that would prevent individuals from inheriting the kingdom of God.
[10]
English Standard Version
Yet many follow the flesh as though its no big deal at all . They even honor and embrace those very sins .
Celebrating the wrong rainbow , or the love of money .
Today the mantra has become God is love and they say this often when one tries to correct the wicked sinful behavoir .
We cannot sit at both tables . We cannot love the world and GOD . WE cannot love the flesh and the Spirit .
We cannot love both the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of GOD . Darkness and light do not COEXIST
together as one under this false banner of love .
There is a love that cometh of the world and its for the world , it will embrace deeds of the flesh
BUT THIS IS NOT OF GOD . It is earthly devil and sensual . We really need to be in those bibles and in prayer
being hearers and doers of the Word . Heeding the Spirit and not the flesh .
Many would accuse paul , CHRIST , james and others of heeding the flesh , just cause they so often CORRECTED sin
rebuked error . We would be amazed at how many that are seated within christendom
that would not and DO not recognize CHRIST , the apostels , the pure TRUTH in the scripture .
This could so easily have been cleared up . IF one would but read that bible daily and often .
But as long as we read , maybe a daily verse , or at best we read a little through the views of men ,
IT WONT GET CLEARED up . And that is because for far too long many have adopted in
views about scripture that just flat out aint true .
