Of course "Jesus coming in the flesh is a non-issue" because HE OBVIOUSLY was born in the flesh. That which is born of Flesh is Flesh. No issue at all. Testing the spirits to see if they are from God HAS to test against the Spirit of agape love because God IS the Spirit of agape love.Duh! God IS Spirit. God IS agape love. Get it yet?????
I used to wonder about that passage when I was a Christian. Plenty of people acknowledge Jesus "coming in the flesh" that orthodox Christian churches would say are definitely not from God name Moderator cut: deleted*). I came to the conclusion that that passage couldn't be taken literally, but rather spiritually. Many "spirits" (teachings, doctrines, philosophies, etc.) don't confess Christ having come in HUMANITY ("flesh", "adam"). They say that the Christ is one man in history and don't acknowledge the spirit of God in US. Anyway, just another way to look at it Mystic.
*I'm not trying to open a can of worms here. I'm just making a point about the way that passage is used by orthodox Christianity.

Reason: Offensive to members of those denominations.

I can understand you not believing other people... but when the Bible clearly indicates Christ came in the flesh, what makes you deny that? I am just involving you and the Bible here - no one else.

Deny what? My whole post was about Christ coming in the flesh.
What? I don't want to address it or you don't? If you don't, that's fine. But if you think I don't want to address something, first you should make clear what it is you want me to address.
