Rom.8:9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn't have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

Why all the violent judgment of the flesh among professed Christian's? What is in our flesh that God likes? What is in our flesh that makes us so judgmental towards another person flesh? These are not trick questions, they are mere facts that most of us really don't like dealing with. But Christ said; “those loving the light (light which is Christ Jesus) comes to the light that their works mighty be exposed”.

John 7:24 Don't judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

But what if we come to flesh, and not the light Christ Jesus having the Spirit of God? Does Christ promote the lies of our flesh? No? But do we lie about the condition of our fallen flesh as so many religious people do practicing false religion? Yes, they know they are lying when hating someone in their heart than meeting the person they put on the airs of righteousness with their mouth. Is that not false, and is that not religion at its worst?

Mark 7:6 He answered them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, 'This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

Yes, we justify the bad by the good words coming from our mouths thinking we have done a religious duty in not hurting the person feelings, but did you know that is from your own flesh, and its mind, it has nothing to do with God at all? Here than is the wall we have hit, there is no getting around it no matter how much we try, and what is that?

James 3:8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. 3:9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.
3:10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. 3:11 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? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
3:14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don't boast and don't lie against the truth.
3:15 This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic. 3:16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.

We cannot be justified in our flesh, it can't be done, not because its written here, it is because God says it can't be done in your bibles. God never said he was reforming the flesh, and if your a honest person loving the truth; now lets qualify that statement. We are not talking about truth written on paper from your bible or in a book, but the truth of the flesh and its unrighteous fallen condition than we understand clearly our flesh is a hypocrite religiously!

Rom.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. 7:19 For the good which I desire, I don't do; but the evil which I don't desire, that I practice.

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

God has judged it dead, not some dead, but dead, none of its works produce righteousness of God, it produce that which is dead, and it is false religions in its purest form! The flesh cannot stop making excuses for its conduct, it cannot stop arguing its point, and it cannot stop waging war with the Spirit of God. That is the wall we have run into and up against.

Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

God removed that wall, by declaring our flesh dead to him, he puts our flesh to death once for all times. We are accounted free from the flesh, although, we don't feel it because of our fleshes wars with the Spirit, and our flesh is justifying liar! This is why we cannot listen to our flesh lies, we must believe Christ died once for all times, and we are dead to sins in our flesh.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

Our feeling of worthiness are nice, but we cannot judge those matters our feelings come from our flesh, and its wants and needs. The Law is dead to God and its judgment of sinful flesh. We must have faith not in ourselves, trying to prove we are righteous in our flesh. But faith in Christ righteousness that is given us by God's love. In Christ righteousness as good, which is our salvation. God has judged us dead in our flesh, and Christ as righteous, God has done this just one time, and forever, given us Christ righteousness where we have no more judgment of our flesh.

Romans 6:19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh, for as you presented your members as servants to uncleanness and to wickedness upon wickedness, even so now present your members as servants to righteousness for sanctification.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"}

Romans 8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

The rest is of our flesh, it is our wrestling that will perfect our faith in spirit not in our flesh, When flesh is crucified it does not just lay there and die. It fights for its last breathe with all its life force, should we think our nice little flesh is going to not fight us? But remember the fight was lost, not because of your righteousness, but Christ. The flesh is dead, or its not? If your faith accounts it dead, despite the lying flesh telling you don't trust in the power of God promises your a no good sinner than your flesh has won! Lets us remember the truth is not about feeling from our flesh, the truth stand it won't be changed ever because of our feelings, our feelings lie to the truth all the time.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. 1:14 But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. 1:15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.
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.
1:18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.
1:19 So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; 1:20 for the anger of man doesn't produce the righteousness of God.

We know nothing good dwells in our flesh, God has said its dead to him. Do you really believe the truth? Don't be fooled you don't kill your flesh, God has, you live in Spirit by faith, faith beyond your abilities, but in God's power by Holy Spirit.

1Cor.4:1 So let a man think of us as Christ's servants, and stewards of God's mysteries. 4:2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful. 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment. Yes, I don't judge my own self. 4:4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord. 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.

Romans 6:4 We were buried therefore with him through baptism to death, that just like Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life.

Romans 6:9 knowing that Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no more has dominion over him!

Romans 6:11 Thus consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, who didn't follow after righteousness, attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith;

Romans 9:32 Why? Because they didn't seek it by faith, but as it were by works of the law. They stumbled over the stumbling stone;

Romans 10:6 But the righteousness which is of faith says this, "Don't say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'{Deuteronomy 30:12} (that is, to bring Christ down);
