You are saying that when Paul says in Gal 5:24 "those who belong to Christ
have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires" he is not speaking
literally? You are saying that there is no participation in the death of
Jesus and no nullification, no crucifixion of your body (flesh), with its
passions and desires?
You are saying that Paul is just being allegorical, he is being ethical. He
is just being symbolic. Someone died on the cross, and now you can be a
better person as a result????
I don't get it.
