People say, "This releases me from being a captive in the wrong body". Let me tell you something, you're in the right body. You might not like it but it is the one God gave you.

His own "infallible" apostle regards the body and flesh in general as captivity. He says, "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable," and almost never speaks of the flesh in a positive sense. I have the same question he asks the Galatians: "how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles, to which you want to be enslaved all over again?". We always make a big deal out of not being carnal and wordly and fleshly; yet in practice we bow to the carnal!
