Do Not Conflate Spirit and Flesh

We must not conflate the spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law with the flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law. Consider what Paul said in Romans 7:14 and 18: “For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin”. “For I know that in me that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not”. The flesh Old Testament/covenant/contract/law defines the “first commandment” in Exodus 20:3 as: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me” and in Deuteronomy 5:7 as: “Thou shalt have none other gods before me” both from the same three ancient Hebrew words אַחֵר אֱלֹהִים פָּנִים. Let’s compare Jesus’ definition of the “first commandment” in Matthew 22:36- 38 and Mark 12:28-34 under the spiritual New Testament/covenant/contract/law. Anyone who studies Mark 12:28-34 will know that the scribe stood face to face with Jesus Christ when Jesus said: “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” which the scribe changed into “And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul”. English word “mind” was translated from Greek noun 1271 dianoia from a compound of dia denoting the channel of an act and noia being God’s spiritual thoughts. English “understanding” was translated from Greek noun 4907 sunesis being in union with the scribe’s understanding subsequent to his own flesh thoughts and feelings. When God’s “seven thousand” “election” study every verse containing each Hebrew or Greek word God defines each Hebrew or Greek word for them. Why would anyone in whom God’s Holy Spirit dwells need a flesh human being to translate or interpret God’s spiritual “word of truth”? “But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him”. “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth”. “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”. It is human nature to seek things that benefit one’s self. Marketing is the accrual and publishing of all product features that exhibit generic benefits. Sales consists of knowing the needs and wants of the person making the buying decision to the extent that the seller can translate a generic product feature into a specific benefit to the human being making the buying decision. Jesus, the bread of life, fed five thousand human beings with five loaves and fed four thousand human beings with seven loaves. The vast majority of human beings are oblivious to what Jesus was teaching because they are looking for what’s in it for them. God’s “seven thousand” “election” see that twelve baskets full of fragments were retrieved from among the five thousand who were fed five loaves and seven baskets full of fragments were retrieved from among the four thousand who were fed seven loaves. Jesus said in Matthew 16:9-12: “Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up”? “Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up”? “How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees”? “Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees”. The “Pharisees and Sadducees” were the primary and secondary religions among the Jews when God walked the earth in the embodiment of Jesus Christ. God’s “seven thousand” “election” know that Jesus was pointing out that the more people you allow between God and yourself the more fragmented is God’s word going to be. You should never allow a human being to come between you and God. God is seeking you to be God’s direct grammatical object.
