Thoughts
And Things Of The Bible -- Carnal
With respect to the word "carnal…"
Unconverted men are so called (1 Cor. 3:3). They are represented as
of a "carnal mind, which is enmity against God" (Rom. 8:6, 7).
Enjoyments that minister to the wants and desires of man's animal nature
are so called (Rom. 15:27; 1 Cor. 9:11). The ceremonial of the Mosaic
law is spoken of as "carnal," because it related to things
outward, the bodies of men and of animals, and the purification of the
flesh (Heb. 7:16; 9:10). The weapons of Christian warfare are "not
carnal", that is, they are not of man's device, nor are wielded by
human power (2 Cor. 10:4).
