1 | What does it mean to kill flesh daily? | Gal 5:24 | Emmaus | 162038 | ||
Kalos, I think this part of your answer: ... "Paul writes: "I have been crucified with Christ." "Have been crucified" -- past tense. Paul here is not teaching that we are in a continual process of BEING crucified. He says, "I have been crucified." Have been. Past tense. Not will be, might be, should be, am in the process of being -- I have already BEEN crucified."... misses the point of the question. Jesus made it clear that we must on a daily basis in our daily spiritual struggle put to death the things of the flesh when He said: "And He was saying to them all, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me." Luke 9:23 I think the question was more a pastoral question living our daily lives in Christ than a theological question about Christ's salvific work on the cross. Emmaus |

2 | What does it mean to kill flesh daily? | Gal 5:24 | kalos | 162132 | ||
Emmaus: I agree with you. In my previous post I seem to recall writing the following: 'Col. 3:5 (ESV) Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 'Conclusion: I am not saying there is no longer any need to put to death what is earthly in you. I am merely saying that this is not the meaning of Galatians 5:24 or of 1 Corinthians 15:31, where Paul speaks of literal, physical death.' You have no idea how many times in the last 47 years I've heard these verses in Galatians and 1 Corinthians quoted and misinterpreted to make the point that we die daily to the flesh. Grace to you, Kalos |

Kalos, " I am merely saying that this is not the meaning of Galatians 5:24 or of 1 Corinthians 15:31, where Paul speaks of literal, physical death.'" I don't agree with you here on Galatians 5:24. I think there Paul is speaking of the physical death of Jesus but a spiritual application in our lives. I belive that Galatians 5:24 is properly cross-referenced to Galatians 2:19; Romans 6:6 and Romans 8:13. Emmaus |

4 | What does it mean to kill flesh daily? | Gal 5:24 | kalos | 162137 | ||
Correction! Emmaus: I goofed! I wrote: "this is not the meaning of Galatians 5:24..." What I intended to say but didn't was ""this is not the meaning of Galatians 2:20." Gal 2:20, NOT 5:24 as I mistakenly wrote. Moreover, I still maintain that in 1 Corinthians 15:31 in context, Paul is speaking of literal, physical death and is speaking of it in the past tense. Grace to you, Kalos |

Kalos, Then we are in happy agreement. Emmaus |
