So, then, you hold your own theology above the teaching of Scripture in 
Romans 8:3.  Paul says Jesus came in the likeness of sinful flesh, but you 
say that his flesh was unlike sinful flesh.

His flesh was holy and set apart, in the same way that ours is when we come 
to saving faith in Jesus Christ.  We are set apart, body, soul and spirit, 
to serve the Lord.  However, this does not mean that the sinful nature of 
our flesh, its passion and desires to be selfish and bring us into 
disharmony with the spirit, has been eradicated.  We must continually 
believe upon the Lord and die daily to the desires of the flesh.  Jesus 
walked this same way, keeping his body under subjection.

Peace be with you.
David Miller.
