What is so different about the order of words in this topic? Is it the same combination? Most certainly the ingredients are the same, but there is a significant difference. If it is Rice and Peas then it means that the rice has been added to the peas. If it is Peas and Rice then this means that peas were added to the rice. The difference therefore is that there is more of one ingredient than the other.
Flesh and Spirit or Spirit and Flesh? This is the question that we must ask ourselves as Believers or Followers of the Christian faith. Are we living our lives more in the flesh or more in the Spirit? The difference is that one is more influential in the daily decisions that we make. Too often Christians have said, "I'm only human." This is complete defiance unto the spiritual rebirth! You are either flesh and spirit or spirit and flesh. Neither of us are only flesh or only spirit, however we must realize that one overpowers the other.
Rice and Peas meas that the rice was added to the peas, the peas out numbers the rice. Flesh and Spirit is how we should be living which is the flesh added to our spiritual lives for survival in this natural realm where we exist. However most of our lives are being lived in the opposite, i.e. spirit and flesh. The Spirit of God was not added to our flesh. When God created the male and female they were more spiritual than carnal (flesh); this is how we were created to exist. Peas and Rice is the proper dish and I highly doubt that most persons would prefer more peas than rice. We should neither prefer more flesh than spirit because living this type of life only ushers us to a quicker death. Rice and Peas or Peas and Rice; Flesh and Spirit or Spirit and Flesh - you decide which will out number the other.
