再談肉体與身体

為方便解釋,血肉之身稱之「身体」,罪＋己/老我 稱之「肉体」

我們"身体"一天的存在,我們"肉体"也必然與我們一起,雖然在神眼裏信徒的"肉体"已被釘死,我們要經歷"肉体"的消失只有在主再來我們得著永恆不壞的"身体"的時候或我們離開這世界的日子。因神不受時間的限制,所以神的看法和我們的經歷是沒有抵觸,說神在我們離世前"肉体"未被釘死,要離世後才所以然便是想把永恆的神也限制了,神定規是所有信徒的"肉体"已經與主同釘了。(A comparison is like you have a mouse at your home, you put some poison on the floor, the mouse ate it, it will die in 1 second after it ate the poison.... so what you feel is the mouse dead once it ate the poison... you wouldn't consider the 1 second have any significant meaning.... To the ever lasting God... once Jesus died on the cross... to Him... our flesh is dead already... He won't consider our little 30 or 40 years remaining life on earth have any impact to His survation plan like we won't consider the 1 second of the mouse still surviving after eating the poison have any impact to our "killing a mouse plan").

當主再來我們得著不壞之身体,我們不會再受肉体的影嚮,那時罪不再在我們裏面。肉体缺小了罪就不再是肉体了。

重點是信徒在他們的餘生仍要受肉体的限制,肉体時刻想得到控制我們的主權。

所以「我們雖然在肉体中行事,卻不憑著肉体爭戰」（林后十3）是對待肉体的要訣。
