Terry, do you recognize that while you are not living in these things now, that they lie still within your physical body dormant and would awaken should you yield to them? For example, if you were to begin to lust after women with your eyes, would your body not respond and want more? Except for the spirit of Christ and mind of Christ in you, would such not lead you toward adultery if you were to give yourself over to it? This is what I mean by referring to the sin nature that exists within our flesh. Do you think that Jesus had this same kind of male body, that would be attracted toward females in ways that would not glorify his Father were he to yield solely to the desires of his body? Peace be with you. David Miller. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
