Nope. I believe as Jesus and the Apostles taught, that the flesh profits nothing. Flesh and blood pass away as do all things of this world. The only thing of import is the spirit and communion with the body of Christ. Anything else is extra. We weren't put here to indulge the flesh, we were put here to serve God. Paul understood this and that is why he spent so much time on telling us to keep ourselves undercontrol. Faith in Christ and Obedience to God is the only way to do that. One who cannot control himself is disobedient to God. Too many want to excuse absence of control by saying 'it's just human weakness'. Human weakness was overcome by the Lord and through him we can overcome it. It's no excuse - before men or God.
