Though we have a body, we are not the body. Much like a driver is not the car. However, most people believe they are the body, and because of this identification with the body, they are in bondage to the flesh, which is against the Truth of the matter. Because of this bondage, the soul ends up believing that it too is part of the flesh, and when the body dies, so too does the soul.
Flesh, is the belief of being the body.
Flesh is the source of where the depravity of man is located. Its biological in nature., That is how it could be passed down from Adam in procreation. Its also why Jesus could not have a human father. Because the sin nature defect is not passed down by the ovum of the mother!
And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed;
He shall bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel.”
Genesis 3:15
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her seed;
He shall bruise you on the head,
And you shall bruise him on the heel.”
Genesis 3:15
Notice how the woman's seed alone was designated to be the source of the Messiah. In the mind of the ancient Jews that was a very odd wording. Because the man was the one normally designated the seed in progeny.
That is why Mary could be a sinner, yet produce a sinless body. For, the Holy Spirit provided the perfect male genetic material needed to fertilize the ovum of Mary. Jesus could have no human biological father for that reason.
