Do you mean "human" in the generally accepted understanding of the word when you write "flesh being" or is there some subtle difference intended? Beyond that, it seems inaccurate to call a human a "flesh being" because we are spiritual as well as flesh. I know this to be true by way of experience because I can will my body to do things that do not satisfy my glands and organs, more telling is that I can resist the impulses of my glands and organs. If I was a "flesh being" I could not do so.

My dog, for instance, is a flesh being.

I will, thinking what I am about to say, will not be well received, because of the rejection of 'sola scripture'.

Before one WORD of the so called 'NEW' Testament was put on animal hides or plant fiber Christ Himself said. Mark 13:23 But take ye heed: behold I have foretold you all things. Then Christ quotes Isaiah 13:10 making Isaiah writing one and the same as the Gospel.

Now if even before Christ became the one and final for all time flesh sacrifice He could say He had already foretold us all things, then those born after are NOT speaking for HIM when they pen things that are in opposition to what was already foretold.

Even Paul gives Christ's warning a second witness in ICorinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: (examples) and they are written for our admonition (warning) upon whom the ends of the world (flesh age) are come.

The 'script' is already written, and by the WORD of God already written we can be forewarned.

But of course we have the flesh clay pot that houses the soul/spirit through this flesh journey, but none of us in these flesh clay pots are needed to add to or take away from the WORD that Christ stated with simple clarity has already been foretold. People who need to add or take away are already on the wrong path writing their own gospels.
