This Scripture teaches it Christ “ through death ” DEROYED “the devil.” The devil that s ’destroyed when Christ was crucified on the Cross was not the traditional pernatural devil, but Christ’s body. the “ filthy garments ” —“ sinful sh ’’—that Christ inherited from His >ther, Mary (Gals. 4:4, 2 John 7. Job 4, Zech. 3:3-4, 2 Cor. 5:21. Roms. 8:3 tin 3:6, Roms. 7:18). Thus Christ “ put ay sin (i.e., the diabolos, “ sinful sh ”) by the sacrifice of Himself ” ebs. 9:26) for, after Christ rose from » dead He no longer possessed a mortal i body, but an immortal sinless body oms 6:9. Rev. 1:18, Phil. 3:21). Sin in man nature (the devil) is the root use of all sin, and therefore sins comtted are referred to in the Scriptures “the works of the flesh ” (Gals. 5:19-21 , a i S o Jer. 17:9, Matt. 15:18-20, Mark fo-23, James 1:14). Thus believers are nstantly exhorted to “ crucify the flesh ” ‘Overcome” (Gals. 5:24, Gals. 6:8. ims. 13:14, Roms. 8:13, 1 Cor 9:27, Rev •7) Not only is sinful human nature ded “ the devil ” in Scripture (Hebs ;4) but one who acts in harmony with he thinking of the flesh ” is also styled t devil,” or “the devil." (John 6:70 •v 2:10 Matt. 16.23, 1 Tim. 3:11. 2 Tim t, Titus 2:3, in the last three passages liabolos ” is translated “ slanderers ” d "false accusers.”) . „ rhe doctrine of a supernatural ’ Devi d Satan ” who leads man astray, etc . -. is entirely of human manufacture, d HAS NO SCRIPTURAL CONFIRMAON when rightly comprehended. The Creator’s ” estimate of man leaves rdly a necessity for THE MONSTER p HUMAN INVENTION AND TRADI ON God’s true estimation of man renrs such a "being” superfluous: “THE 3ART (OF MAN) IS DECEITFUL 30VE ALL THINGS, AND DESPERrELY WICKED. WHO CAN KNOW IT? ” er. 17:9.) ?EE “BIBLE TRUTH” LITERATURE Address: P.O. BOX 857, Dunedin. JESTIONS INVITED W. A DUNCAN
