News desk -
rue that the spirit is the first and basic principle of Christianity, but at the same time we must add that it perceives this spirit in a completely different way from idealism.

Is Christianity an idealism? (3)

News desk -
However, God and the world, spirit and flesh are not only in opposition, but also in contradiction, because sin has entered between them. Therefore, secondly, the flesh as a unity of spirit and matter is an ethical concept with a negative meaning. Then carnal life will mean living according to the law of sin, and carnal man will be the sinful man. This means that the spirit that directs itself to sin is also flesh. On the other hand, spiritual life will mean living according to the law of the Holy Spirit or according to the will of God, and a spiritual person will be the sinless, good person. Then the body of such a person, who is directed to the good, is also a spirit.
