"Flesh" means sin and corruption, and is opposed to the Spirit; but embodiment, outward manifestation, concrete form, is not opposed to the Spirit. "Carnal" means sinful and hostile to God; the evil spirits, who we suppose possess no bodies, are carnal, but the Son of God became man, the Word was made flesh, He took upon Him a human body as well as a reasonable soul. God's ways and thoughts are not ours. While the abstract and ethereal imaginations of human reason create a god, who is not spirit, and whom they do not worship in spirit and truth, the God of the Bible is God manifest in the flesh -- Emmanuel... Did not Jesus, after His resurrection, eat before His disciples, who gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and honey? Is not the earth to be the scene of God's triumph and manifestation? Whatever is revealed in spiritual, whatever man imagines is carnal; the end of the ways of God is embodiment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7091</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rose is often found near the nettle. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50776]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rose is often found near the nettle.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man does nothing by constraint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48825]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man does nothing by constraint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Silence is the great teacher, and to learn its lessons you must payattention to it.
