Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God. Which part of flesh and blood is corrupt? The blood is corrupt. Blood needs to be shed from the body. Notice, after the resurrection, the Lord had a body of flesh and bone, but no blood. In the beginning, Adam was made flesh and bone, but no blood, until after the fall.
Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Genesis 2:23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
“And the LORD said,
My spirit shall not always strive with man,
for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.”
Genesis 6:3 KJV
Flesh and blood go together blood is for flesh to live without blood flesh is just dead organic material instantly beginning decay the moment the blood stops circulating ….
“For
it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof; therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for
the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.”
Leviticus 17:14 KJV
Flesh and blood is like oil and a motor. The two parts of man tbat are opposed is the spirit of life inside them and thier corrupt flesh and blood body that craves carnality while the spirit in them came from the giver of life who is holy and spiritual and pure and good
flesh and spirit are at odds because of adams sin in Eden
“And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden
thou mayest freely eat:
but of the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die.”
Genesis 2:16-17 KJV
That made us mortals who die like this inside
“Now if
I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but
sin that dwelleth in me.
I find then
a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but
I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am!
who shall deliver me from the body of this death?”
Romans 7:20-24 KJV
When a person sins they use their flesh and blood and it begins to crave the natural things addictions and habits behaviors ll are committed by the flesh and blood part of us , our mind was corrupted by good and evil knowledge it became part of man to have both good and evil . Just as cain and abel became two opposite men internally having the same parents and environment.
Mankind is like that now because our original roots were corrupted when they ate the fruit of knowing both good and evil the evil is sought by our flesh . They were wondering about the fruit it says they saw it was beautiful to look at , Satan just convinced them it would t do any harm it would actually benefit them .
See what John is saying here
“For all that is in the world,
the lust of the flesh,
and the lust
of the eyes,
and
the pride of life, is not of the Father, but
is of the world.”
1 John 2:16 KJV
the flesh lusts and craves things sinful things we see things sinful things and this causes us to lust if we look and do t turn away our mind and body and everything physical begins to crave and lust it’s human nature now we have good in us but there’s always also evil tempting us in this world constantly it’s there until we leave this world the temptations and lusts of our flesh .
We aren’t going to be tempted in eternity when all things are done because we will leave our flesh in the dust and be made complete as the children of God
“
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:
but we know that,
when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
1 John 3:2 KJV
ot pattern
“And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses,
behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.”
Exodus 34:30 KJV
Nt reality
Jesus taketh
Peter,
James, and
John his brother, and
bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, and
was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
And, behold, there appeared unto them
Moses and Elias
talking with him.
While he yet spake,
behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.
And when the disciples
heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid. And
Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.”
Matthew 17:1-3, 5-8 KJV
(peters eye witness account of this again 2ptr 1:16-21)
the point is Jesus was still appearing on earth for 40 days after his resurrection but after those fourty days when he appears to Paul , he isn’t appearing as a man anymore or eating rich in a beach anymore oaul describes him as a being of unapproachable light , and when he tried to look at Jesus his eyes miraculously grew scales to protect them and blinded him three days in order to becomes a powerful witness of what Paul saw .
Jesus body was perfect ours isn’t and never will be it’s why we all must die physically but we dont have to spiritually we can have what the gospel promises. We have bodies
they are born of the spirit
