The Spirit and the Flesh are possibly the most misunderstood terms used by St. Paul.
In the Book of Romans, St. Paul speaks of the spirit and the flesh. By flesh, does he mean body and by spirit does he mean our souls?
Or is Paul using technical rabbinic terminology that we need to pay attention to in order to properly understood what Paul means when he uses the terms spirit and the flesh?
Check out this video with Dr. Brant Pitre where he will discuss Spirit and the Flesh in St. Paul's writings.

One big aspect of being in the flesh not mentioned here, is not just how our state is of suffering and death - but also how we no longer live according to the desires of the flesh (as St Paul and Christ referenced, the flesh "warreth" against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh.

Kiotee Nouw I watch a Fatima movie about 5 times a year. Love it. I’m curious- if she says more people perish from sins of the flesh, what is that compared to? Sins of the spirit?

Kiotee, We must compare spiritual things with spiritual according to the Scriptures. This Fatima apparition is false. It is a lie to say that the sins caused by the flesh will send you to hell. The Bible says, John 3:18, "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." That is why we are condemned, not because of the sins of the flesh. Please believe God's word. God cannot lie. The apparitions are lies. Read 2 Cor 11:14.

I am satisfied with the following understanding I hold. (Of course most use both terms interchangeably, hence your concern. And even this clarification won’t help much academically as things stands now). When we say spirit, it is a stand alone entity (as in Holy Spirit, or evil spirits) but once it is part of us we may call it is in or part of our soul (I am comfortable at this stage to call the Holy Spirit as Holy Ghost). That is why demons are casted out, not evil spirits are casted out. As you might have guessed I assumed the human being as living soul. Or in other words, body may be considered as the materialistic/visual form of the invisible soul. In heaven it will be made appropriate for ‘that world’ (means glorious to be in line with common understanding). Non Catholics such as Hindus consider the invisible life force which leaves upon death from body as human spirit. In my opinion that shall still be called (human) soul rather than spirit to distinguish from angelic spirits whose form, strictly speaking, we don’t know.

Thank You Dr. Pitre Amen Bible reveals words of GOD In many Mystery only annointed ones understands As seeking GOD He reveals Truth.. Choosing Evil or Holy Spirit Spirit of GOD must be with US As JESUS is our Gteat High Priest who only baptised Holx Fire of Spirit In these times MAN must ask GOD holy spirit Matthew 24:3 As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives,(C) the disciples came to him privately. “Tell us,” they said, “when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming(D) and of the end of the age?”(E) 4 Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.(F) 5 For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and will deceive many.(G) 6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.(H) There will be famines(I) and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains. 9 “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted(J) and put to death,(K) and you will be hated by all nations because of me.(L) 10 At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets(M) will appear and deceive many people.(N) 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(O) 14 And this gospel of the kingdom(P) will be preached in the whole world(Q) as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. 15 “So when you see standing in the holy place(R) ‘the abomination that causes desolation,’[a](S) spoken of through the prophet Daniel-let the reader understand- 16 then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 17 Let no one on the housetop(T) go down to take anything out of the house. 18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 19 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers!(U) 20 Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. 21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now-and never to be equaled again.(V) 22 “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect(W) those days will be shortened. 23 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it.(X) 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders(Y) to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you ahead of time. 26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. 27 For as lightning(Z) that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming(AA) of the Son of Man.(AB) 28 Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.(AC) 29 “Immediately after the distress of those days “‘the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from the sky, and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.’[b](AD) 30 “Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth[c] will mourn(AE) when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven,(AF) with power and great glory.[d] 31 And he will send his angels(AG) with a loud trumpet call,(AH) and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. 32 “Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. 33 Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it[e] is near, right at the door.(AI) 34 Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened.(AJ) 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.(AK) The Day and Hour Unknown(AL)(AM) 36 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[f] but only the Father.(AN) 37 As it was in the days of Noah,(AO) so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage,(AP) up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.(AQ) 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left.(AR) 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.(AS) 42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.(AT) 43 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming,(AU) he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. 44 So you also must be ready,(AV) because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. God bless

All this is among the twisted things Paul said would be spoken by people wanting to have a following. Nothing makes sense. Acts 20:29 I know that after my going away oppressive wolves will enter in among you and will not treat the flock with tenderness, 30 and from among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves.

Matt Blaise: The Quran need not state it. The trinitarians have corrupted the bible. 'No man has seen God at any time' - 1 John 4:12 has been made out to read "No man has seen God in his full glory at any time.' Because people have seen Jesus, and if he is God then this scripture is talking nonsense. Thus the need to insert additional thoughts into it. Someone wrote 'No man has seen God in all three form at any one given moment'. Well, trinitarians are doing a bad job at corrupting the bible. Google is there. People have no excuse for remaining ignorant these days.

All sin, bar none, comes straight out of the spirit, for it is the spirit that sins; whereas the flesh is mere matter, and has no free-will of its own, so it cannot sin; but free-will is an ingredient of the spirit, so the spirit sins... and sin is therefore the product of all spirits, without exception, thus including God Himself for even existing as a spirit. Christ as a man, and thus matter, and thus flesh, was upright therefore, as matter, and thus flesh, is innocent by its very nature, no matter what, but the sins always come out of the spirit, meaning the will, so all spirits are to be automatically believed to be intrinsically evil by their very and mere existence as spirits.

You got it only partially correct. Catholic theology have long back taken into account the existence of good spirits and evil spirits. Simply put, the spirits leading us to sin are evil. It goes thus: 1/3rd of all the created spirits are fallen and hell bent to make us against/neglect God. I speculate God use them to run objectively (double blindly) the freewill. So to tally the third 1/3rd of the created spirits, I attribute their work is to do ‘neutral things’ of the mind.

@@JJ-nn8kr Here's Catholic Teaching, they're totally impotent, we are the ones solely responsible for everything we do, and every situation we find ourselves in- they can do nothing, they can't even do what He commands them to do, unless the individual himself permits them to do it to him- nobody else can possibly open that doorway, only the individual.
