In the verse below the word flesh is defined as the "scientist" or more specifically the "five senses" the tool the scientist uses to gather information... This is all that a scientist has to view the world are... the five senses...
So as I am inclined to do so, I have taken the liberty to put the words scientist in place of the word flesh to just give you an idea of what I mean by spiritual concepts and programs that are not in the natural world... Keep in mind this was written two thousand years ago...
Romans 8:1-14
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (scientists/five senses), but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh (scientists/five senses), God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh (scientists/five senses), and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh (scientists/five senses):
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh (scientists/five senses), but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh (scientists/five senses) do mind the things of the flesh (scientists/five senses); but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
6 For to be carnally minded (scientists/five senses) is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7 Because the carnal mind (scientists/five senses) is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh (scientists/five senses) cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh (scientists/five senses), but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies (evolution) by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh (scientists/five senses), to live after the flesh (scientists/five senses).
13 For if ye live after the flesh (scientists/five senses), ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify (blow to smithereens) the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
Comment:
This chapter goes on to talk more about scientists...
The scientist has only their five senses to gather information but the Christian biblical researcher through their five senses reads a book that was not derived from science but from the perspective of God... and when the principles are applied the Christian can measure the changes in their lives and this gives them a base with which to make analysis...
