Do you think we are to deny the "flesh?"
In what ways can one deny the "flesh?"

I am sure there are many more...
Deny the flesh in sex outside of what God has ordained.
Deny the flesh in eating.
etc.
But the ones above are also denying the flesh.
The flesh wants vengeance.
The flesh wants to lift itself up
The flesh doesn't want to be just a part of some amalgamate body but would rather be seen & heralded.
The flesh doesn't want to bless those that persecute.
The flesh loves evil
The flesh doesn't want to prefer his brother to himself
The flesh doesn't want to feed his enemy
The flesh doesn't want to distribute to the needs of others
The flesh doesn't want to be patient in tribulation
The flesh wants to be high minded
The flesh doesn't want to live peaceably with all men
And the list goes on...
