Galatians some thoughts on the 5th chapter

Galatians 5: 13-26
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an
occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is
fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not
consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall
not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and
the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other:
so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the
Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest,
which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions,
heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of
the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they
which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of
the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are
Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in
the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain
glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Are you walking after the Spirit or the flesh? Do you even have the Spirit
of God within you?

Paul is saying that those who sin do not have the spirit of God.
Those who keep away from sin have the spirit of God.

But surely KellyJay, this post isn't an exposition or even a few thoughts on Galatians 5, is just you once again having another pop at your detractors and using the Bible to do it.

Isn't it?
