Carnal:
Unconverted men are so called (1Cr 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; 1Cr 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 (Hbr 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 (2Cr 10:4).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
