Flesh
(From Forerunner Commentary)

John 3:6 (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up)
Man is composed of flesh—of protoplasm. Jesus plainly says that if one is born of (and therefore composed of) flesh, he cannot also at the same time be born of (composed of) spirit. He must be one or the other! So this verse alone is strong evidence that man is not an immortal, spiritual "soul" in a body of mortal flesh.

1 Corinthians 15:47 (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up)
This is what Jesus was saying to Nicodemus. He was of the earth, earthy—human. He was flesh, not spirit. He was born of the flesh, so that is what he was—flesh. When one is born of the Spirit, he will be spirit. Paul is here explaining the same truth. But we cannot be spirit in this present age.

1 Thessalonians 5:23 (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up)
Paul here refers to the mind in man when he uses the word "spirit." And to the physical life when he uses the word "soul." And to the flesh when he uses the word "body." What is wrong with having your whole mind, your life, and your body preserved blameless—preserved from the penalty of sin—in anticipation of the coming of Christ (see also II Corinthians 7:1)? Nothing! That is something we should all fervently desire!
