Bible Question (short): Possible definition for 'Flesh'? |
Question (full): Wanted to float an idea for a possible definition of 'Flesh' and 'Spirit'. I guess the problem I keep having with 'Flesh' is that it does talk about Jesus coming 'in the flesh'(1 John 4:2, 2 John 1:7 etc etc). What does it mean that Jesus came 'in the flesh'? I think 'flesh' could mean this sinful age that is in oposition to God. 'Spirit' is the age to come that is heavenly and of God. Just an idea, feel free to shoot it down... |
