Not so fast. You're misreading these verses. To give a new heart and a new spirit regenerated by the Holy Spirit is not Jesus in the flesh but your old spirit quickened and a spriit of eternal life. Jesus is at the right hand of the Father. God never indwells the flesh. The flesh is sinful and its only verdict is death. God only dwells what is made holy, spirit with spirit. There are no Christians who believe Jesus is in our flesh unless they are deceived even demonically possessed. And to give a heart of flesh is to soften one's heart. Nothing about Jesus in the flesh. So clearly you are misreading God's word. Don't do that! Rev. 22.18,19.
Jesus came in the flesh, that is, He walked among us nearly 2000 years ago. In no way shape or form should you construe this to mean that Jesus is in a person's flesh. How silly. That is really twisting the Scriptures. Why worship a false Christ?
When we say Jesus came in the flesh we are not just saying some person came in the flesh but God Himself walked among us, that is, the 2nd Person of the Trinity. Other faiths reject this. Other faiths even try to make their Jesus indwell the flesh. When Jesus is on earth reigning for 1000 years He is not in a person's flesh. How absurd! When Jesus at the center of the New City in eternity future, He is not in man's flesh but interacting with us in Person. Many do not have faith to believe Jesus will be in Person again so they spiritualize or allegorize Jesus into living in sinful flesh. It is simply a faithless teaching.
You're trying to insert some other meaning because you go your own way without the Holy Spirit and that's sad Guided by your flesh you imagine Jesus in your flesh, but this is just delusional to selfishly do as your please and claim Jesus is guiding you. Do Muslims or other faiths believe Jesus is God? No, of course not.
You've inserted the word "now" to try to claim Jesus in the flesh, but that is a horrific meaning for God doesn't dwell in what has the verdict of death. "This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God" (1 John 4.3).
Greater is He that is in you--this does not mean Jesus is in our flesh. It means that the Holy Spirit is indwelling our spirit by our receiving eternal life and the Holy Spirit resting in that new spirit. The flesh has died on the cross with Christ in those who are born-again. So you have the spirit of antichrist because you worship a false Christ one who allegedly indwells the flesh. But we know that is what demons do. Demonic spirits are disembodied spirits that seek to indwell the flesh, and Satan and his fallen angels seek to gain strongholds in the mind of your flesh.
Christ lives in me Paul says by the Holy Spirit as the Spirit indwells the spirit, spirit touches spirit, spirit communicates with spirit; and the life of the Father and the Son is the Spirit. Jesus is at the right hand of the Father so you misunderstand what Paul was saying because you don't have the Spirit of Truth in you. That same Spirit of holiness that was in Jesus is now in believers. So don't think Jesus Himself who is at the right hand of the Father is in a Christian's outer body. Don't believe Satan's lies. "God sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts" NOT "the Son into your hearts." How can you have a relationship with Jesus if you don't even know where He is and ascribe to Him attributes that do not belong to Him. The Spirit indwells the believer not Jesus and the Holy Spirit doesn't indwell sinful flesh. That which is born of flesh is flesh and its only verdict is death. Would a Holy God ever indwell sinful flesh? Of course not.
You're worshiping a false Christ. My prayers go out to you. You take the position it seems you are just quoting what others think, but you shouldn't do that if you don't believe it, but state you disagree with them rather than being coy.
No Christians teach Jesus is in our flesh. Jesus is at the right hand of the Father and indwells our spirit by the Holy Spirit. He Himself the Lord Jesus is at the right hand of the Father. People believe all kinds of weird things and worship all kinds of different false Christs. Doesn't make them right.
