Havoc, are you saying that when Jesus said that the flesh profits nothing He also meant His own flesh?

Was the work Jesus did of the flesh or of the Spirit?

Answer that, and I'll answer your question.

Jesus, was one person with two natures, that of man and that of God. God took on flesh. God became incarnate in order to sacrifice himself for our sake. The work that Jesus did, in dying on the Cross was an action of the entire person of Jesus, the man and the God. The answer to your question, as I understand it, is both.

Now, when Jesus says that the flesh profits nothing, does He mean His own flesh?
