​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Galatians 5:7For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.  Greeting. The above verse is talking about a battle that must take place against carnal mind of man. The man of sin in all of us lusts to envy to make God's words our thoughts. Growing up as a kid I once heard my mother say that the Bible is contradictory as she talked with her friends. Being so young at the time it did not matter to me one way or another. Now we are asking you as a christian is the Bible contradictory? For GOD is not the sinner we are. The contradictions come for my carnal mind. Roman 7:14For we know that the law spiritual:but I am carnal,sold under sin. The law is the Scriptures which are Spiritual, but I am carnal, so when I read the bible the only Spiritual book with my carnal mind: I get a carnal understanding and my mind makes me thinks the bible is full of contradictions. This stops me me from getting the MIND of CHRIST.Philippians 2: 5let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. And most Christians do not know they must obtain THE MIND OF CHRIST. We wrongly imagined we got the MIND OF CHRIST when they gave our hearts to Jesus. Believe me Jesus does not want our stony heart and we do not want spiritually see it as God sees it  Ezekiel 36:26A new heart also will you, and a new Spirit will put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of you flesh. To receive the mind of Christ I must wait on the LORD to revealed His word. This is where the battle comes in! I Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man rec​ieveth not the things of the spirit of GOD: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But we cannot have two minds can we? James 1:8A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Most Christians do not know they must lose the carnal mind to obtain the mind of Christ. Without a Spiritual mind we can never understand a Spiritual book and will die in our sins: we never were saved from ourselves. And many people will become exceeding mad at such learning.   Acts 26: 24 Festus said with a loud voice, Paul , thou art beside thyself , much learning doth make thee mad. Now where do contradictions come from? Hebrew 12:3For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners. The contradictions of sinners come from our own carnal understanding when I read the BIBLE. We first must be honest with ourselves and say I do not understand the Bible Spiritually. These days, funerals are called home going service. But if we never left our first house you are not going to a Spiritual house but back to the dust. Genesis 3:19For dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. I will be writing an articles on ''dust'' soon, as God is starting to reveal more about the above verse: Genesis 3:19.  Genesis 12:1 Now the lord had said unto, Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee. The first house is the natural carnal understanding of GOD'S word, so when the carnal man reads. Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is death of his saints.My carnal mind makes my think that its physical death that God is talking about, but not so, but to the death of the flesh, the carnal mind.1 Peter 3:19For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to GOD, being put to death in the in the flesh, but quickened by the spirit.
