Abstract

According to Paul the psychics as carnals or demiurgic souls who enslaved to sin but they have the possibility of attaining their freedom. The psychics stand in the middle between flesh and spirit, they must choose to identify with one or the other, with the devil's soul or with the spirit of God. Paul explained that the psychics must obey the will of the devil, fulfilling the desires of the flesh, subordinate righteousness and justice of the demiurge's law. But the pneumatics live apart from the law and live without sin, they live spiritually prior to his bodily incarnation. The pneumatic perceives intuitively the pneumatic law within himself. Paul celebrates the pneumatic redemption, those who are in Christ Jesus or in whom the spirit of God dwells. The electeds are the first fruits of the spirit, the psychics who are those called for being elect. The elect proclaiming himself free in dietary and free from the demiurge's (Yahweh's) fleshly law. He stands in the pneumatic law, that of God the father and of christ, which is the law of love. The elect as sons of God liberation from the restraints and clutches of the demiurge's law, and the pneumatics being led by the spirit not under the law.
