Hi CDBJ, Section: Bible general General question: Difference between Flesh and Spirit, August 5, 2005 Section: Bible general Original Question how is a person to maintain a clean body in relation, to the natural and spirit. I Cor 15:39 All flesh is NOT the same flesh Ask then how many kinds are there? 1. Men 2. beasts 3. fish 4. birds 5. bodies; terresterial 6. celtial..glory; 7. of the sun 8. of the moon 9. of the stars God wants us to be able to compare, see differences, make right choices in what we experience on this earth walk we are taking. To do that he points out all flesh is not the SAME... In speaking of mankind, we know we have a natural body, made of what we call flesh. This flesh to operate has cells, bones, blood, organs, the things needed to run this flesh body. We also are a spiritual "body". I Thes 5:23 God points out there are other kinds of natural bodies and names them. God points out there are different natural glories for each. If you stop and think about what God names and how each thing works, you will discern that glory has to mean the usefulness of any given subject in this context. In another sense, from the spiritual standpoint, flesh is what Paul called it, "for I know that in me, that is, in my flesh is no good thing. (why Paul?)for TO WILL is always present with me." Ro 7:18 Here we see, self-will, is in opposition to God's will, therefore Paul called it (spiritual) flesh. The deeds (or works) of the flesh, are performed by mankinds self-will, not God's will. Gal 5:19 God's will is his written word on every subject. God's word is God's will. If that were not so, why are we reading God's word to find out what is right and wrong, according to God's will? We must understand, that when a person is born again, their flesh does not change, their self will does not change, it must be retrained by God's word. I Tim 4:16 "Take heed unto yourself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this you shall both save yourself, and them that hear you." John 8:31-32, God's truth is God's word, his doctrine, his will on every subject..and Jesus said, if you continue in the word, the word or God's truth will set you free...John 17:17 Because God's word is his will, no one can say, "you never know what God will do." He has it in the book, If all else fails...Read it again Sam. You will eventually get what God is saying, how to apply it, and you will have had your exercise.. Heb 5:13-14 For every one that uses milk is UNSKILFUL in THE WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS (God himself); for he is a babe: (14) BUT strong meat (God’s word on every subject) belongs to them that are of full age (mature in God and his word, his will), even those who BY REASON OF USE have their senses exercised to discern both good (i.e. God) and evil (i.e. satan). You don't want a garden of Eden experience where you lose out with God do you? You want a resurrection experience with the risen Lord, Jesus Christ, where you have a win, win, situation eternally. How do you keep a clean body naturally? Do the opposite of Gal 5:18-21. How do you keep a clean body spiritually? Do Gal 5:22-25 Always in Christ, C.S.M. |

Hello CSM, At the end of your very informative post you made mention of the following, “How do you keep a clean body spiritually?” Are you suggesting that the body, soul, and spirit are an inseparable unit? I noticed that your personal profile is blank. You sound like you are very well grounded in the Bible. Why don’t take a few minutes and fill out something about yourself and share it with the rest of us in your personal profile? It’s always nice to know a little about other members on the forum with regards to their spiritual background and such. Have a great day, CDBJ |

Hello to you CDBJ, Not at all. I realize that as an “earth walker”, we as humans are spirit, soul and body I Thes 5:23. We are a three part being, and God revealed that to us in his word, in my understanding, so that we could “rightly divide the word of truth” II Tim 2:15, in this area also. We understand that the spirit of man is eternal, it is in God’s image. John 4:24 “God is a Spirit”...it is his image! In fact that is why all spirits, saved or lost, will live forever. God is “The” eternal Spirit that created all spirits, so all spirits live forever, even satan and his demons according to the word. Saved spirits live forever in heaven, lost spirits live forever in hell. When the spirit of man leaves the natural body, we say the person “died”. From the natural standpoint, from our view naturally, the physical body no longer has “life” or the Spirit of the Eternal God ,John 1:4, within it, so it dies and decays. In other words, God is the source of all life, light, matter etc. yes, the spirit can be seperated from the body, and is, in a persons death. The soul, (the mind, will and emotions) are in tact with the spirit, otherwise the rich man in hell could not have known Lazarus, called out to Abraham to send him with water..etc.Luke 16:20-25, but we are aware the body “dies”while we are on this earth. The good news? Eph 1:14 speaks of “the redemption of the purchased possession” and Ro 8:23 speaks of “the redemption of our body” being the “adoption” spoken of in Ephe 1:5 It is the natural body which is in the “bondage of corruption (i.e. natural death)” Ro 8:21, 25 and it further states “we patiently wait for it” meaning the redemption of our natural bodies to incorruptible bodies. You will see this when you read the portions noted in context and ask the Lord to reveal it to you. Christ not only died to save our human spirits, but for our natural bodies at the resurrection, at the last trump, didn’t he. I Cor 15:50-57. It’s a win, win situation!! Is your profile in the record. I looked and I do not see that portion of the program on the site. I’m sure I’m overlooking it.. Always In Christ, C.S.M. |

Are you saying that everyone is born with a fully operational body, soul, and spirit? Have a great day, CDBJ |
