So you mean... man is flesh and will remain flesh for eternity?..
Heaven, whatever that is, is a paradise of flesh?..
and Hell is a prison of flesh?..

Spirited: God the Father likes matter for He created it, which of course includes the bodies in which our souls are embedded. After He rose from the dead, Jesus “modeled” for us the resurrection body all of us will have one day after all things have been made new, which includes this earth. It will be made new.

Gnosticism rather than Christian theism is dominant today. Your disparaging remarks regarding “flesh” are very Gnostic.
Gnostics hated Yahweh to the extent of consigning Him to hell. In His place they exalted the Devil.

My disparaging remarks regarding flesh is very biblical..
Some, maybe most, chistians are very fleshly..

All sheep pens are fleshly.. John ch 10...
Thats why Jesus calls them “out” of them..

Some sheep pens are not sheep pens at all...
BUT Pig, Vampire, Vulture, Lion, and Goat pens..
masquerading as sheep pens..

The Gnostic’s may not been wrong about literally everything..
The Gnostics were just some kind of pen themselves..
You know just a denomination.. a sect...

Could be sheep pens are just spiritual “holding tanks”.. i.e. drunk tanks..
Many are drunk on the wine of a fleshly world..
They need to sober up...
