Unlike man Christ had a Divine nature, that man needs if he is ever to see the Father ... That is found only in Christ. Rom 8:7 Because the carnal G4561 mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

Unlike man Christ had a Divine nature, that man needs if he is ever to see the Father ... That is found only in Christ. When we partake of the Holy Eucharist, It is Jesus Himself: Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.

Knowing that it was a sin to the jews to eat blood... onw has to consider just what He meant . Jesus would never tell men to sin . He and His Apostles ate grain off the stalks on the Sabbath. That was a sin to the Jews, too. The Pharisees called them on it.

He was doing alright until he suggested religious activity as a way to combat the flesh.
Engaging in ceremonies or other religious activity is no way to combat the flesh.
The only way to deal with it is for it to die.

A good word study is the discernment between:
Worldliness
Carnality
The Body
The Flesh
Soul
Spirit
Heart
Get’s more interesting when combining both Hebrew and Greek word studies.
