Paul clearly states that we wrestle not
against flesh and blood, but
against principalities in high places; He is suppose to be setting a principal and he is in fact destroying the thing that God stand for, serving the flesh and the creation more than the creator who is blessed forever; Man will always have a battle between flesh and
spirit; he is more flesh than
spirit ever in his dress muscles and tight shirts; which has no place in the
spirit;» dealing with matters of the holy ghost «he can speck it but he can «t live it; which is the trouble with a lot of modern day Christians; do as i say not as i do... old fashion parents had the same concept, its not just Eddie he got caught, he was just falling weak to the flesh and his own
desires; only thing is, he is responsible for the souls of those under his leadership; He must answer and atone to God for those actions, you think for a moment we are being hard on him; God has a way of letting us know when we are wrong that lets us know we need to change.
