This is where you are completely wrong my friend. The flesh is here until we go to be with the Lord. You are confusing the old man that was in Adam and the flesh. They are two different things. The old man is dead - he's a goner but the flesh with the power of sin in it - is still here.
That is why we need to have our minds renewed to the truths of the finished work of Christ and awake to righteousness which we are in our new creation and sin not.
Again you are slandering in saying that I don't say that the Spirit of God changes us to newness of life because I have said over 200x times here that we are a new creation in Christ and that living by His life in us will bear His fruit in our lives and bring the love and grace of God to others in this world that need to know Him for who He truly is.
Look at what Paul said to the 1 Corinthians. These people were going to the temple prostitutes for sex, they had strife and divisions amongst them, committing fornication, believers taking each other to court, not providing for the poor...etc
Paul told them who they were in Christ...then corrected their behavior
He didn't say you were all unsaved now or that because they were sinning that they were not born of God like some people try to teach.
( without understanding the new creation in Christ - this "sinning" part will throw people off because they don't understand what is being done by giving in to the flesh and what the new man is Christ really is. )
Paul told them who they were in Christ...Here are 7 things that Paul confirmed as truth in the believers in Corinth before he went on to correct their behavior.
1) The Corinthians have been sanctified in Christ Jesus,
2) The Corinthians were now saints by calling
3) The Corinthians in everything were enriched in Him,
4)The Corinthians had the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in them,
5) The Corinthians had that God will also confirm them to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ
6)The Corinthians had that it was by Gods doing that we are in Christ ( Not our own D.I.Y. self-righteousness and holiness )
7) That because the Corinthians were in Christ - Christ Himself became to them wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption
1 Corinthians 1:1-9 (NASB)
[SUP]1 [/SUP] Paul, called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
[SUP]2 [/SUP] To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:
[SUP]3 [/SUP] Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
[SUP]4 [/SUP] I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
[SUP]5 [/SUP] that in everything you were enriched in Him, in all speech and all knowledge,
[SUP]6 [/SUP] even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you,
[SUP]7 [/SUP] so that you are not lacking in any gift, awaiting eagerly the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ,
[SUP]8 [/SUP] who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[SUP]9 [/SUP] God is faithful, through whom you were called into fellowship with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:30 (NASB)
[SUP]30 [/SUP] But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,
Preach and teach the grace of Christ as it is the only think that teaches us how to live godly in this world. Titus 2:11-12. The word of His grace is the only thing that is able to build us up and that gives us the inheritance that is ours in Christ. Acts 20:32

For starters, he that said that wasnt *He*, that was Paul in Galatians, not Jesus. Not that it matters just wanted to inform you.
On the teaching, we are told to walk by the Spirit, another way of saying "through the Spirit MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF YOUR BODY" kill the deeds. With the Spirit. See? They have denied themselves, their own bodies, picked up their own cross like Jesus told us to do so! See??
