Please view the video entitled “Keep My Commandments Summarized” before viewing this teaching: https://youtu.be/k7fUP105dLM?si=hnQbSUUg3t5JUYgVThe Flesh (Sarx), Gnosticism, and the Humanity of JesusIn this continuation of a new series, the speaker delves into the Greek word sarx ("flesh") and its relationship to the ancient heresy of Gnosticism. The message confronts the idea that the physical world is inherently evil and that God cannot have a physical relationship with man. The video explains that this heretical belief, which denies the humanity of Jesus, is still prevalent in modern church teachings. The speaker argues that this doctrine creates a disconnect, making it impossible for people to identify with Jesus because they are taught that he was so far from being truly human that he couldn't have been tempted like we are. The message also clarifies that the Bible has two different words for "flesh" (sarx) and "body" (soma), and the heresy was about Jesus not having sarx, not that he didn't have a physical soma.* Gnosticism teaches that God is an unknowable, distant being who cannot have a physical relationship with man.* The heresy of Docetism, a brand of Gnosticism, taught that Jesus's human form was a mere illusion without true reality.* The term sarx in the Bible often implies weakness, frailty, imperfection, and a proneness to sin, not just physical "meat."* The heresy was not that Jesus lacked a physical body (soma), which the Bible says he had, but that he lacked the fallen flesh (sarx) that makes us prone to sin.* The Bible states that God created man in His "image" and "likeness," and this creation was "very good."* The promises given to us are actually promised to Jesus Christ, and when we get Yeshua, we get his promises.* Holiness is a result of a life lived inside God, not the result of our behaviors to please Him.The video concludes by asserting that the Gnostic heresy, which denies Jesus's true humanity, has permeated the church because it's easier to believe in a distant, unapproachable Jesus who was not truly like us. The speaker challenges listeners to understand that this is a "hideous and horrible thing to be saying about God" because it is the exact opposite of what God says about man. The ultimate takeaway is that Jesus, as the second Adam, came with a sarx that was not fallen, and that the Christian life is about understanding and overcoming our own fallen sarx through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit, who writes God's law on our hearts.#Sarx #TheFlesh #Gnosticism #Docetism #BiblicalTruth #DrMichaelDavis #Theology #JesusHumanitySarx...
