Amen Yes, Context is needed.
We must be careful
how we hear or say we hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches us we must put on the armor of faith . It protects us. We defend it, as
it is written. And not that of our own selves as if we were the source of Christian faith, and not Christ working in us giving us rest lighting the burden ..
Living parables are made known visually through the apostle, prophet Jesus the propmised one. Some did know Christ after the flesh. after the demonstration and he disappeared that was no longer possible .It was nesecassry he leave and never return in the flesh or the Holy Spirit would be limited .
2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
We no longer know him that way forever more .One demonstration was promise. Some would crucify him over and over to public shame to show they have no faith coming from God. (Hebrews 6)
God speaking to mankind through the corrupted flesh of Jesus . Of that flesh Jesus declared; "it profits for nothing" . It reveal's that which did profit . Its the unseen Spirit of faith that does quicken our new soul. . His words are Spirit and spirit life giving. .
Jesus is the word of God personified in the Son on of man . Jesus did not do the will of the flesh .yet he remined without sin. Every movement of Jesus was a reflection given as a parable of the father working in Him . When he again mended their confusion. then they understood we do not need to go to any man .And we should abide in the warning of the antichrists (1 John2:27-28 ) in so much of those who say we do need a man to teach us .One is our teacher who dwells in the believers. In that way we are the temple of God.
Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. John 16:30
Jesus questioned their belief knowing what manner of spirit man is of .and again to teach
how to walk by faith of the unseen father.
Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe? Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world John 16:31-32
