Re: spirit as opposed to flesh

Hi Allegory71 (sdhawn),

Grace (not law) unto you, and peace (not confusion),
from God ``our`` Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

It`s allegoric mystery, always about law -or- grace
no matter how it gets allegorized in the scriptures.

Eg: John 3:6 contrasts
- spirit (pneuma) = grace = born of the Spirit
- flesh (sarx) = law = born of the flesh
After John 1:17 firstly contrasted
- grace & truth came by Jesus Christ
- the law (lie) was given by Moses
So Hebrews 4:12 firstly divides asunder
- spirit... spiritual afterward (1Cor 15)
- soul... natural first (1Cor 15)
Yet it`s under or above; not left or right.

Eg: John 6:63 contrasts
- the spirit (the grace) quickeneth
- the flesh (the law) profiteth nothing

1Corinthians 15:45 contrasts
- Adam2: quickening ``spirit``... celestial
- Adam1: living ``soul``... terrestrial

Eg: John 8:23 contrasts
- I am (grace) from above: not of this world
- Ye (law) are beneath: still of this world

Eg: Romans 8:4,5,13 contrasts
- spirit: minds grace... live
- flesh: minds the law... die

But it can get tricky if also two kinds of flesh,
as noted in 1Cor 15:39`s one flesh is not another.
It can also get tricky if also two kinds of spirit:
spirit of error (law) -or- spirit of truth (grace).
So 2Cor 7:1 says let us cleanse ourselves from filth
of the flesh and spirit; As law is also spirit-u-all,
and there`s even two kinds of grace to also contrast.
So we also need to go beyond the 2D mode unto 3D mode,
for 2D mode only provides better of good or better, but
3D mode has best of 3: good better best = rest of story.
For even better of 2 things is division, not (yet) peace.
Eg: 3: faith hope charity; but faith + hope only 2 of 3;
And only greatest of great greater greatest never fails.

So JC`s grace and truth gives us truth about the law:
Truth about the law: reasons to flush law as if dung:
- law is both good + evil; lastly evil concupiscence.
- law is just + unjust; so hear what unjust judge says.
- law is holy + unholy; highminded listed among unholy.
- law is natural, but also a natural disaster to a-void.
- law is spiritual, but then it`s spiritual wickedness.
- law worketh wrath, which God hath not appointed us to.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ ^be^ with you all. Amen.
