Just to be clear: You're saying the literal flesh that hangs off our bones is inherently evil?

Why was Jesus(Full Spirit of God) encased in human flesh?....What was his sacrifice?....What did it prove?

It proved that the body must be defeated in order for the "higher self" to prevail. The death of the "ego" allows the 'soul' to emerge.

Is the "ego" a part of the flesh, the soul, or both?

The ego PRETENDS to be the soul, by engaging in benevolent acts which seem to have a selfless nature. But these seemingly selfless acts are nothing more than the ego trying to further strengthen its hold on us...by making us ignore the self-centered instincts which drive our lives.

So you're saying the ego is the flesh, right?

The problem with ego is it's not God, it only thinks it's God.
And that leads to allot of problems.
Let's start with the "easy questions" shall we?
Where did we come from and where are we going?

No...the body is a separate entity...and it's led by our lower and higher selves. The lower self is the ego...and the higher self is the soul. Body, ego, and soul...the real meaning of the "trinity" of scripture.

Father Son and Holy Ghost are the three parts and I don't think you're making much sense here thaskalos.
The Holy Ghost is most relevant to us because that is the mechanism to impart wisdom.

"Father"..."Son"...Holy Ghost"...these labels mean nothing to me, because I can't directly relate to them in my own experience. But I can sense my body...and I have also become directly aware of the "good" and the 'not good' side of me. And that's what I go by.

You're asking questions as an answer to my one one question? Is the human flesh -- our material body inherently evil? It's an honest question, as I'm trying to understand what you wrote earlier.

This cannot be "the real meaning of the 'trinity' of scripture, since the triune God existed before he created anything.

Who can say that with certainty...and, why should he be believed?
