Was the flesh part of our past according to Les Feldick?
Yes. The old Adam's wicked ramifications and the flesh were part and parcel of our past, according to the teaching. Yet the flesh is not merely past; it remains the mundane living style of the unbeliever. This sets up a later contrast with a total flip side.
Les explains that the class had been looking at all the wicked ramifications of the old Adam, the flesh, and that this was part and parcel of our past, but it is still the mundane living style of the unbeliever. He then moves to verse 22 as a total flip side, saying that if you talk about something that is a flip side, this is it. So the flesh is described as belonging to the past for the believer while still characterizing the unbeliever's present lifestyle.
