Your scripture is about men “in the flesh”. It’s Calvin’s theology that perverts natural man into totally depraved. And perverts God in the process.

Paul is speaking of the same natural man that John speaks of. The natural man, the man "in the flesh" and not "in the spirit" cannot please God because "everything not of faith is sin." Only the spiritual man pleases God because when he looks at the spiritual man He sees Christ within.

I've supported every one of my posts with Scripture.

You, not so much.

And it isn't just "my Scripture." It's yours, too. Read it.
