April 19, 2012 1 Comment
I am no preacher, but, am a sinner and living in this world only in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read The Holy Bible, God gave me the following verses in the context of “Spirit against Flesh, Flesh against Spirit and Kingdom of God” from the Book of Life (The Holy Bible-King James Version).
“For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit,
and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”
– Gal 5:17.
Flesh
Activities
Gal 5:19. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20. Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21. Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Heb-12:16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
1Co-6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
Phi-3:18. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
