God’s dealings with man spans beyond the carnal dimension, because He wants man to bring the carnal dimension under control. The reason for the previously mentioned statement is that God made man in His image in accordance to His likeness, which implies, since God is a Spirit, man is more of spirit than a carnal being. Therefore, our primitive state of mind simply mean our spirit man that connects God directly, but this is what we have missed. You can never know what love is except you are spiritually minded. However, for us to be able to do what the Lord God is commanding us, we need our mind that controls our will to move our body in direction of the impulse of God’s thought (instructions contained in His Word). Thought is the body of our total whole being, which is simply spirit, mind and body that makes up a man.
