Rev.22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" He who hears, let him say, "Come!" He who is thirsty, let him come. He who desires, let him take the water of life freely.

Christ is the center piece he holds the key to all life for us, he is the new spiritual temple, and he speaks to us by Holy Spirit, listen to what the Spirit says to the congregation.

Since God set up His one prophet channel, one seed, one mediator between God and man, one faith, one head, all truth comes through Christ. However, to be apart of Christ one must be born again, and than listen to the Spirit, which is given freely to all God's children to understand Christ and his words, which words are not just truth(s) of this world under sin and death, but also truth(s) of the next world.

John 8:23 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

As the apostles of Christ learned, without the Spirit neither could they understand being born again, and many other truths Christ had spoken which required the outpouring of Holy Spirit to teach them the deep things of God.

John 14:17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world can't receive; for it doesn't see him, neither knows him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you.

John 14:26 But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

For those born of sin, that is, from this world below, the language is much different than those born of Spirit, above. The fleshly minded person cannot understand the things of God, and cannot judge a spirit born son correctly, because they are judging from a world laws which are dead to those in Christ from the world above, so they must misjudge! They judge from the world they are created from, but those born of God by His Holy Spirit above know all things even the things of this world, they can properly examine all subjects, all truths from both world because they are free to do so by God's Holy Spirit, but they choose not to examine somethings because they are not helpful or advantageous for any good purposes.

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.

This is why it is an application problem, if a dog eats cat food, and a cat eats fish food it does not make the dog into a cat, nor the cat into a fish. Many think eating food from their bible changes their species, from a person born from below to a person born from above by God's Holy Spirit, it does not! When a person born from above feeds on the food from above and words from their bible they thinking and act like where they are born from, what they are created to act like, with in the rules from the world they are born from. On the other hand, when a person born from this world below feeds on the food from the bible, they think and act like where they are born from making all application of such too where they were created from.

This is why God can love the world because he above all and understand the fundamental difference in thinking, and why Christ would died for us, and why he ask his Father Jehovah to forgive them their sins for killing him upon the torture sake, and all the more reason why we are not fighting flesh, but spirit person behind the flesh which takes deep advantage of fleshly ignorance of these truth(s).

James3:11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water? 3:12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.
3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you?

1 John 3:9 Whoever is born of God doesn't commit sin, because his seed remains in him; and he can't sin, because he is born of God.

This is why no flesh is saved, not flesh, but its thinking, why its works has to be reveled and its creation destroyed because it is death and a creation from a faulty mind of flesh. Death can only produce more death, and the mind of Christ is the mind of everlasting life, it cannot produce death, it produce life for those communing with it as the bread of life.

John 6:33 For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world." They said therefore to him, "Lord, always give us this bread." 6:35 Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty.
