"...but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live" (Rom. 8:13).
"This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh" (Gal. 5:16).

Hmmmmmm How about reading the Life of Jesus the Chrsit who set the Pattern for us all to follow....simple enough even for babes to understand.

Mark 10:18"Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone.
Gen 3:1 ¶ Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Gen 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Gen 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
((there were actually 2 TREES in the middle of the garden: the tree of God and Evil and the Tree of Life. And then there were the other trees))
Gen 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
Gen 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
((now this is an interesting parable, although ODD that Eve sees the TREE (was) GOOD. Eve had not yet eaten the FRUIT. but already KNOWS GOOD. SIN was indeed commited before even one bite had taken place.))
Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

However we all still being created in his Image will eventualy overcome all lust and enemies of the Spirit including the last enemy DEATH and brought to the fullness of Jesus the Christ.
Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
For the WAGES of SIN is DEATH
Come to your own conclusions on knowing good, i came to mine by way of the Spirit, my treasures i keep in heaven ;)
and with this i will take my bow and exit stage rite fore the flamin starts......................
I would like to ask 56,242 questions to everyone on this forum. ;D ;D ;D
I know that's just impatience. The funny thing is, getting an answer from a forum member isn't going to put it into my spirit/heart. That comes from God in His time. So I fully understand wanting to ask the questions. Its taken everything for me NOT to do it. ;D ;D ;D but I know getting to those conclusions "by way of the Spirit" is the best way...the only way!

Does " will eventually overcome all lust" happen during our physical life? That is the reality I am trying to get to know.

basicaly what i was going to get too, before i was stopped in my train of thought, by those who fear the thinking process of the Spirit.
I do however continue too invest my TALENT, with family, friends and in a PMs avenue of Fellowship with like minds.
No intentions of stirring awake nor upsetting anyone who is satisfied with thier buried TALENTS in life.
This is a QUESTION i was trying to elaborate when i felt the rug pull from under me.
Please note if this is upsetting to some i have no problem stopping and withdrawing from this thread !!
