Spirit Led or Fleshly Mind Led?

There are only two bodies existing for us humans race upon earth; one body is Spirit, and the other is Fleshly, what does this mean, only two bodies?

Gen.3:14 And Jehovah God saith unto the serpent, `Because thou hast done this, cursed `art' thou above all the cattle, and above every beast of the field: on thy belly dost thou go, and dust thou dost eat, all days of thy life; 3:15 and enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he doth bruise thee -- the head, and thou dost bruise him -- the heel.'

What is meant, is that God is Spirit, and He has no flesh, and so is the Christ; he being made into the very glory of God. But there is a body that all humans wittingly, or unwittingly are a part of, a body of flesh. Yes, we individual have a body of flesh, but we are also a part of a composite body the whole human race is a part of, a common body of the fleshly mind.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Romans 8:8 Those who are in the flesh can't please God.

This composite body of fleshly thinking has built the world as we know it, a system of things, put into order by this fleshly minds of humans, generation, after generation, creating a body of law, and order for all government, religion, and businesses, to ever to exist upon earth. However, we should understand both bodies have a spirit, and we can be led by either of these bodies spirits, but not both spirits at the same time.

Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.
Spirit of Flesh

What is a the spirit of flesh, well for context, originally, God created spirit beings, which some call angels, later He was to create spirit of flesh, which are human beings. Yes, man is also spirit being, but in the flesh, a little lower than spirit/angles. In other words, the spirit ruled over the flesh keeping it in perfect balance, but with sin; sin means missing the mark of the perfect law of freedom, love.
Our freedom was lost to sin. Freedom from what? Sins of our flesh. So the law that governs all spirit being is love, without the flesh controlling the spirit by sins laws.

When Adam and Eve were created the spirit in them lived fully giving them life, and eternal life if that same spirit controlled their lives. But as most of us know when they chose to choose what was good and evil, for their own vessels, sin entered into them, and the flesh killed the spirit bring instant death into their lives. The spirit could no longer live in perfect harmony of its giver, YHWH God, it died on that day, but their flesh lived on.

Gen.3:9 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him, "Where are you?" 3:10 The man said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself." 3:11 God said, "Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?"

So they now found a war within their flesh, not a balance of peace , but a war against the Spirit of God, the Spirit lost because the fleshly mind chose to rule over itself, instead of the Spirit of God ruling as the King in their hearts. The desire was present to please God, but the flesh had nothing good dwelling in it, but death, death to what the Spirit of God, they so badly needed to maintain eternal life upon earth.

Gen. 3:17 To Adam he said, "Because you have listened to your wife's voice, and have eaten of the tree, of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it,' cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you will eat of it all the days of your life. 3:18 Thorns also and thistles will it bring forth to you; and you will eat the herb of the field. 3:19 By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

Now they had a spirit of the flesh to contend with this spirit of the flesh was full of all sorts of unrighteous feelings and desires opposed to the wonderful good Spirit of God. The flesh, and its mind took on a life, onto itself, so where it now has a spirit, which connects all sinners into a composite body of fleshly thinking.

Romans 7:18 For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwells no good thing. For desire is present with me, but I don't find it doing that which is good.

Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

Spirit Led

God in His own wisdom created a composite body of Spirit, through His Son Christ Jesus righteous life, and those led by Spirit are connected to this composite spiritual body, where only life lives, and the fruit of Holy Spirit is found for them. There is only life in this spirit body, and all those obtaining eternal life must be connected to the mind controlling this spirit body, which is the mind of Christ Jesus, the head of the spiritual body, of Christ Jesus.

Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

Deception

The Spirit cannot be deceived by the flesh, but the flesh is in a constant state of self-deception by its own fleshly mind. This deception is profound for the flesh that is dead to God's Spirit, the flesh cannot even know the Spirit of God, but the fleshly mind is very proud, and determine that it can by its own fleshly mind.

1Cor.3:1 Brothers, I couldn't speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ.

1Cor. 2:14 Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 2:15 But he who is spiritual discerns all things, and he himself is judged by no one.

Why deception? Because the very condition of the fleshly mind is deception to itself and others. In other words, the flesh is a lie, but how can that be, because the flesh, and its desire are the opposite of truth, which is Christ Jesus.

Titus 1:2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can't lie, promised before time began.

Romans 3:4 May it never be! Yes, let God be found true, but every man a liar. As it is written, "That you might be justified in your words, and might prevail when you come into judgment."{Psalm 51:4

1 John 1:10 If we say that we haven't sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Truth from the creator of all spirits, and spirit of the flesh, is love, love expressed for us in Christ righteous life. Once Christ proved faithful to his Father YHWH God raised him from the death of his flesh, making him alive in the Spirit; placing all truth, and Glory God into his Son Christ Jesus.

So truth is not a word like the flesh uses to make a point, it is a perfect life action that never sins against God's law of freedom, which is love. The flesh mean sin opposed to the perfect law of God freedom, causing corruption of life, into slavery and death of the fleshly mind opposed to God's Spirit.

Heb.1:1 God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 1:2 has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. 1:3 His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification for our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 1:4 having become so much better than the angels, as he has inherited a more excellent name than they have.

Whereas, originally, the flesh was not opposed to God's Spirit, or the law of freedom, nor love, which is life. But instead, in harmony with it having none of the fleshly desires we experience to day from lust of our flesh. Now the flesh not only opposes God's Spirit, but it will killed it with the fleshly mind is allowed to dictate rules of our flesh, killing the perfect law of freedom, which is love.

Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.

So our sinful flesh is a lie, it is the same as a big tree of unrighteousness casting long shadows under it, varying the light from God into thousand's of human justification of condoning its own unrighteous thinking outside of Christ Jesus, the light.

James 1:16 Don't be deceived, my beloved brothers. 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

The fleshly mind cannot know God, because truth is not identified by just words, that is, from our fleshly mouth, coming from our fleshly minds. But it is instead, life, what kinda of life, incorruptible perfect life reflecting the love of God, which makes it truth because it cannot live a lie making its every action perfect righteousness in truth and love.

1 John 1:5 This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

No Lie Existing In Love

Love cannot lie, or it would not be truth, nor could it produce life, love is life, and those led by love are actually saying the life of Christ Jesus is living in them as a vessel to the Holy Spirit, but those walking by the fleshly mind are led by spirit of the flesh which is the world, and all of its desires that have been created by this world's unrighteous darkness.

Rom.9:23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory.

There are but two composite bodies not millions, or even billions of seeds, but one seed of flesh, and one seed of Spirit, both create a separate world, one of darkness the other of light. The Spirit creates a tree of life, whereas, the flesh creates a tree of death that deceives the fleshly mind, but how?

Calling Evil Good

The deception for Adam and Eve was to believe they could do enough good by their own thinking apart from God to live without God Spirit into eternal life like gods. Subsequently, they choose good, and evil, for their lives, but what they did not know was the good on their tree was actually evil too them producing death not eternal life, but how?

Gen.3:3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'" 3:4 The serpent said to the woman, "You won't surely die, 3:5 for God knows that in the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

The good and evil was actual nothing but evil for them, not some good, and some evil, being deceived by the fleshly mind; it was evil all the time that killed the Spirit of God in them, leaving them only death, not life in the Spirit, but death. It was a profound deception by Satan the Devil in making them believed as gods they were good enough by their own good works to live eternally, in life, without God's help, the source of life.

Yes, the good blinded them to their evil, this is the greatest weakness of our sinful flesh that Satan has played upon to deceive the whole world of mankind since Adam and Eve. Is man's good, good enough without God to live eternally? That is the question, is it not? Satan said that is was good enough, and God lie in not telling them the whole truth.

But did God lie, or did He simply speak truth that they could not fully comprehend? Adam, and Eve, could not have possibly known the sickness, sorrow, and death, they would bring into this world by their decision. Adam and Eve had good motive in thinking good, but It took a God of all wisdom to know these things, and they were not a God of all wisdom as proud Satan thought he was. So they chose their own good fruit to sustain life, and found death to the Spirit of God, which caused their own death, and those they gave birth too.

Deception of Good and Evil Passed on

How is the fleshly mind deceived by good and evil, as shocking as this may seem, the good the flesh does in helping others is believed by the fleshly mind to be from God, hence life! So that it believes its is God works, and if it is God's works, done for Him, it must be blessed by Him, not only blessed by Him, but upheld and justified by God as righteous.

This belief is the core of the fleshly mind it cannot separated itself from this one thought, which causes it death. Yes, death just like it did Adam and Eve, and every other human since them. This lie has misled the world of mankind, and it is so powerful, men will kill God's prophets whom exposes this lie.

2Cor. 4:3 Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish; 4:4 in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.
4:5 For we don't preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake; 4:6 seeing it is God who said, "Light will shine out of darkness,"{Genesis 1:3} who has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

2Cor. 4:7 But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves. 4:8 We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair; 4:9 pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed; 4:10 always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 4:11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh. 4:12 So then death works in us, but life in you.

This one teachings of Satan has permeated the whole lump of human dole into a corrupt makeshift kingdom of God run by humans doing good works in the name of God. It is noting, but yeast that ferments everything including those using God's word the bible. Man still believes, as did Adam and Eve, their good is good enough, for God to call it righteousness, and justify it, making it worthy of eternal life with Him, but is it?

Romans 3:10 As it is written, "There is no one righteous; no, not one.

Romans 5:19 For as through the one man's disobedience many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the one, many will be made righteous.

Fleshly Mind Not Understanding God's Righteousness

God never told mankind that He would take human righteousness through their good works, and form a kingdom for the world. On the other hand, Satan did tell Christ that in so many words.

Luke 4:5 The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 4:6 The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.
4:7 If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."

God never called men righteous enough in any manner, by their good works. But God has instead stated mankind is a sinner, and if they put faith in His righteousness, God will redeem them from their sins.

Isaiah 64:6 For we have all become as one who is unclean, and all our righteousness is as a polluted garment: and we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away.

Next God provided a means for remission of mankind sins, from Adam forward, away so they could stand before God without judgment for their sins. But not once did God say, you man are righteous in standing before me in your own good works. God does instead say; if you do my good works, and not your own, I will bless you, or these good works of my righteousness.

So the mouth of the fleshly mind is shut before God in unrighteous works, even though they be good in helping others, they are not the works of God, nor good enough. It has always been for God's people, God's works, which are good enough, why are they good enough? Because they are life, they are founded upon what created life, God's love. No good comes from our flesh it is evil to God, and must be dealt with by either death, or a remission for our sins which affects our spirit, and in turns, kills God's Spirit in us.

Romans 8:6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

The flesh is yeast to God's Holy Spirit, why? Because the flesh is corrupted by sin, and sin is death, but God's Spirit has no corruption in it, from sin, causing death, nor does it have the desires of sinful mind in it. So what is God's righteousness? Well, at first, it was for the nation of Israel, God's law given too Moses. This was not man's righteousness, nor could man be righteous in keeping the law, why? Because it was God's righteousness, and not man's. If it were mans righteousness he would not need a redeemer, but is was not. It was God righteous, His standard for perfect life without sin, like Adam and Eve posses, and lost by sinning against God righteous law of love.

So God provided a way for mankind to be forgiven for breaking His righteous law, which was blood of innocent animal victims to cover their evil desire and actions against God's laws. So the righteousness of God was the law. But what would happen if God allowed a righteous man without sin to fulfill His righteous law? What than would become of God's righteousness for mankind? Simply put, the righteousness of this man would fulfill the righteousness of God, that is, the man keeping the law of God perfectly would meet God's standard of righteous life, hence becoming life for us. Yes, Jesus Christ is the righteousness of God for us.

1Cor.1:30 But of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption.

Just a the blood of animals set a man aright before God so where God could look at the life of the innocent victim instead of the mans sin, hence, being covered in God's mercy through the bloods innocent victim who had not broken God's righteous laws. Yes, animals did not break God's law so they could cover our sins, that is, for our breaking the law.

So, Christ now becomes our substitute, covering our sins against God's love, not the old law, because Christ Jesus completed the law setting its aside by his own righteous life.

Good Works Which God Accounts as Righteous

Who's good works does God now account as righteous, a mans good works, a churches good, works, a governments good works, what are the good works God accounts as having no yeast of corruption of sin in them giving perfect life too those partaking from this tree of life? As one man sin enter into the world, thus it is through one man Christ Jesus that has good works that are God's good works which gives all human eternal life, Jesus Christ.

Matt.7:16 By their fruits you will know them. Do you gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? 7:17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit.
7:18 A good tree can't produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. 7:19 Every tree that doesn't grow good fruit is cut down, and thrown into the fire.

No work outside of Christ Jesus is eternal life for mankind, no fruit outside of Christ Jesus is the fruits of life. In him we have the one truth, not the fleshly mind, not the works coming from the fleshly mind, but the mind of God, found in Christ Jesus.

John 15:1 "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer.
15:2 Every branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 15:3 You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 15:4 Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can't bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. 15:5 I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 15:6 If a man doesn't remain in me, he is thrown out as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
15:7 If you remain in me, and my words remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.

Good and Evil Works Done in the Name of Christ Jesus Righteousness

Many good works have been done in the name of Christ Jesus, just as the fleshly mind believes a word of truth makes corruption good, and yeast into unleavened bread, but it is deceived into believing the lie!

Matt. 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 7:22 Many will tell me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, didn't we prophesy in your name, in your name cast out demons, and in your name do many mighty works?' 7:23 Then I will tell them, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you who work iniquity.'

A word from the bible is not the truth, Christ Jesus is the truth, no more so than a good work done out of good motive is Christ Jesus fruits of everlasting life.

It is that simple, as simple as the deception of Adam and Eve. Where two seeds were planted growing into two trees that stand before God, one, the tree of life, which is Christ Jesus, and the other a tree of good and evil planted by the fleshly mind. All fruit coming from the tree of good and evil is death, and not life. One has to turn their back on the tree of good and evil, and eat from the tree of life to have life, in Christ Jesus

But one cannot eat of both trees, without killing the other fruit of both trees. It just impossible, but Satan said; yes you can, and Adam and Eve believe that lie dying spiritually, immediately in that day, and was forbidden from eating from the tree of life.

James 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.

1 Peter 2:24 who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

Here then is the problem for most Christian's, can a person touch an unrighteous works of our fleshly mind against the righteousness of Christ Jesus and make it clean and acceptable to God as a holy offering upon His altar of God's loving kindness? No! God does not make the unrighteous flesh clean by touching something holy, in this case Christ Jesus righteousness. God does not need mankind's good works of unrighteousness to improve upon the life of Christ Jesus.

Haggai 2:12 'If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?'" The priests answered, "No."

The deception continues into our time in the name of Christianity.

Being Led by The Spirit

Can a person be led by Spirit, and at the same time by the fleshly mind, no! This concept, is the first lie, the two are opposed to each other, killing the other by contact with it. There is a great chasm existing between the two as darkness is to light. For a person to be led by Spirit what is required of them, nothing, but faith! It is a gift of God's good works, and not their own good works. Moreover, it is by another man's righteousness that they stand before God, and not their own even if they do good works in the name of Christ Jesus.

But still there is more, and what is that? It is, the life of Christ Jesus in us that gives us his righteousness, and good works, we must be grafted into the life of Christ Jesus, as the tree of life. We must be dead to the tree of good and evil a branch broken off in death and grafted into a new life of Christ Jesus. This is done by God's goodness, not our own. This life of Jesus Christ is the will of the tree of everlasting life. Hence, It is the fruit upon Jesus Christ branches that are the works God's accounts as His righteousness, and none other, in heaven nor upon this earth.

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Romans 13:12 The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let's therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let's put on the armor of light.

There is no corruption of sin in this fruit, it is free of yeast of the fleshly mind, and it does not come from anything Adam passed on to us from the tree of good and evil. We are dead to those works, we are alive too Christ Jesus though his righteousness that cleanses us from all dead works.

Colossians 2:12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.

Colossians 2:13 You were dead through your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh. He made you alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses.

It is in this condition we can be led by Holy Spirit, but there is no good works from the tree of Adam and Eves planting, or of this world found upon the tree life. Which, means man's righteousness creating religion, governments, or businesses that life comes from for us. When we are led by the flesh of the mind we are unwittingly supporting the tree of good and evil, which is created by the fleshly mind. Those works will perish as our sinful flesh must perish in death.

Ephesians 5:14 Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

Ephesians 1:20 which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places.

1 Corinthians 15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.

Romans 10:9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Weeds Causing Confusion

Darkness causes confusion for those walking in it, bumping into all sorts of things if not careful. Confusion is a mark of pollution to the Spirit of God, which sees and knows all things, and shines upon darkness.

1 Corinthians 14:33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the assemblies of the saints.

James 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

Confusion is caused by a mixture of some truth in words, like the bible, and the fleshly mind, creating a world of darkness, and babel. The fleshly mind must feed upon the bread of good and evil deceiving itself that it is God's good works, but its not. Weed-Christian's are yeast Christian's living under laws of their flesh while believing they have found the freedom of Christ Jesus in the law of love.

1 Corinthians 5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old yeast, neither with the yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

This deception is lived in, and promoted by boasting in their fleshly good works, by what it does for other humans. In other words, to the fleshly minded, weed Christian's, their good, is good enough, as long as a label of Christ is put upon it, making it holy meat by their standard of truth.

But its is unholy coming from the mind of the fleshly weed person lowering the standards of eternal life into choosing what is good and evil for themselves. It is not promoting God's kingdom, but rather Satan's kingdom, by stolen waters label as the Christ Jesus good works.

1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don't you know that a little yeast leavens the whole lump?

Exodus 22:4 If the stolen property is found in his hand alive, whether it is ox, donkey, or sheep, he shall pay double.

Joshua 7:11 Israel has sinned. Yes, they have even transgressed my covenant which I commanded them. Tes, they have even taken of the devoted things, and have also stolen, and also deceived. They have even put it among their own stuff.

Christ Jesus spoke a profound statement that is so twisted by the fleshly minds of Christian weeds that it is shocking when confront with, in their utter disbelief in Christ Jesus words.

Jesus said: It is impossible for a good tree to have bad fruit upon it, and he further says; It is impossible for a bad tree to have good fruit upon it.

The two cannot mix according to Christ Jesus the truth of God for us. But yet all man made religion, governments, and businesses produce both good and evil fruit, not one can boast in not having some evil fruit on the same tree! Was Christ Jesus lying like the flesh mind does in condoning bad fruit by some good it does?

Jeremiah 29:17 thus says Yahweh of Armies; Behold, I will send on them the sword, the famine, and the pestilence, and will make them like vile figs, that can't be eaten, they are so bad.

No he was not. Christ did not produce any sin, yeast of corruption upon earth, and certainly not in heaven. Christ Jesus is the tree we are the branches on, if that is truth, which its is. Than each fleshly mind tree of Satan produces only fruits of death, although, he has deceived mankind into believing some self-goodness is going to justify the bad done by the same tree, It is nothing more than the first lie told to Adam and Eve.

Levitius 10:10 and that you are to make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean.

Levitius 11:36 Nevertheless a spring or a cistern in which water is a gathered shall be clean: but that which touches their carcass shall be unclean.

Job 14:4 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? Not one.

Proverbs 16:2 All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but Yahweh weighs the motives.

Proverbs 20:9 Who can say, "I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?"

Ezekiel 22:26 Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things: they have made no distinction between the holy and the common, neither have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my Sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.

1 Peter 3:21 This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you--not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

What is God Sabbath rest day that we as Christian's are to enter into? Do you know what is clean, and what is unclean? Can you put away the filth of your sinful flesh? Can you hang its fruit upon the righteous life of Christ Jesus, and call it good? Will God justify you in justifying your works of the fleshly mind by saying Jesus Christ has done this unclean work making it clean for me?

Can you make what is unholy holy by words from the bible? What indeed lets you and me enter into God's rest day? It is not for us to stop our own evil works of calling evil good, and rest in God's good works, which is Jesus Christ.

Heb.3:12 Beware, brothers, lest perhaps there be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;
3:13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called "today;" lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.
3:14 For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our confidence firm to the end: 3:15 while it is said, "Today if you will hear his voice, don't harden your hearts, as in the rebellion."{Psalm 95:7-8} 3:16 For who, when they heard, rebelled? No, didn't all those who came out of Egypt by Moses?
3:17 With whom was he displeased forty years? Wasn't it with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 3:18 To whom did he swear that they wouldn't enter into his rest, but to those who were disobedient? 3:19 We see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
