Maketh Flesh His Arm

A way of saying the “strength of man,” rather than the “strength of God.” No man’s precepts should be accepted when they do not originate in revelation from God. Without a connection to revelation and the Holy Ghost, the teachings are all the arm of flesh. If anyone wants to trust in that, he will be cursed. Those who put their trust in the scholarly arrogance of men or follow the false teachings of a man are cursed, because only those teachings given by the power of the Holy Ghost are true.¹See also TRUST IN MAN.
