Rejecting the lie of the flesh born with sin, is not 'defending' anything. No more than is acknowledge grass natural dies, and not by sinning.Why do you defend the flesh when God has condemned it to death?
You've just answered again, the OSAS lie of condemning the body for the deeds we do with the body. It's the soul that sins with the flesh, and so it's us that get all the blame.
The OSAS hypocrisy of not be condemned with the world, while doing the same as the world, is the reason the world wants to blaspheme the cross.
When I was a sinner, and Christians tried to tell me they were not condemned, while doing the same as me and condemned, I knew they were pathetic trash.
I had to disregard the hypocrites, when coming to Jesus, because hypocrites are no more an excuse for our deeds, than our bodies.
More misreading. We do sin or righteousness, with the body and the mouth. Our bodies don't do anything of their own accord.Moreover, do you not understand that to think the flesh can do righteously--
Tell me now. Do you seriously think your body does anything without you having it do so? Do you ever seriously think your body shares in any condemnation, if you do sin with it?
Or is this 'doctrine' talk?
True. We now live in the flesh as He did in the days of His flesh.On the contrary, people do not walk righteously except in the spirit and in Christ, the only One who has done and can or could do righteously.
All flesh is the same and has nothing to do with what we do in and with the body.
