Those who argue against us seem to maintain that the death of the body is the controlling reality and that it imposes inability to pray on the ζωη of the Spirit. This they call "good news."
The controlling entity is the Spirit.
The body is DEAD. It has no life. It cannot control.
We have passed from death unto life.
John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.
We are free in Christ.
John 8:31-32 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
