<i>A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.</i> - Mat 12:35

What about the ~man in the middle~ - the man that has good and bad qualities?
<br>
Isn`t the middle where most men are?
<dir>
<i>A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.</i> - Mat 7:18 
</dir>
Wait a minute! That verse makes the `middle` position even more untenable.
<p>
The explanation for the inconsistency between what Jesus said and what we see is found in the following verse:
<dir>
<i>And Jesus said unto him, Why callest you me good? there is none good but one, that is, God .</i> - Mar 10:18 
</dir>
If only God is Good then where does that leave us?  Can we be Good ?
<p>
<b> Christ in us makes us Good .<br>
The lack of Christ in us makes us Evil .</b>
<p>
This is why Jesus told Nicodemus ~you must be born again~.  Nicodemus was an Evil man because he had a SinNature as do all of us.
<p>
Though he seemed to be a GoodMan from his own and his society`s perspective, this was just a Delusion .
<p>
Each of us who are BornAgain have a NewNature which wrestles against the SinNature every day.
<p>
This is why we seem to be in the `middle`.
<p>
 God does not see our SinNature because it was crucified with Christ .  It is covered by His blood.
<p>
But we see it and others do too!
<dir>
<i>Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof.</i> - Rom 6:12 
<p>
<i>For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.</i> - Rom 8:13 
<p>
<i> Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:</i> - Col 3:5  
</dir>
We see very clearly from the above verses that, while in the Flesh , Christians are capable of doing Good and Evil .
<p>
 Christians are Good in their Spirits because their Spirits are born of God`s Spirit .
<p>
 Christians are Evil in their Souls up until the time they are Transformed to have the Mind of Christ .
<p>
 Christians tend toward Evil in their bodies until the time that their Body is translated from corruptible to incorruptible.
<p>
How then do our bodies Manifest Good ?
<dir>
<i>This I say then, Walk in the Spirit , and you shall not fulfil the Lust of the Flesh .</i> - Gal 5:16 
<p>
<i>I beseech you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God , that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God , which is your reasonable service.</i> - Rom 12:1  
</dir>
<p>
So, we see that the extent to which our Mind is Transformed to the Mind of Christ and our Body is submitted as a living Sacrifice to God is the extent to which we Manifest the GoodMan of our perfect Spirit .
