RE: Fw: [TruthTalk] Flesh and Spirit ---------- Huh?

David, your post is excellent. However, I never realized before that I have no idea what is meant by “emulations” in this quote below. What does it mean? Izzy   -----Original Message----- Galatians 5:19-21 (19) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, (20) Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, (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.   All these works emanate from the appetites of the physical body.  The fruit of the spirit, on the other hand, is apprehended with the mind touching the spirit (the nous touching the pneuma).
