1 | Paul's evil practices Pre or PostJesus | Rom 7:19 | Morant61 | 169404 | ||
Greetings John! A 'son of the law' is how every Jewish boy over the age of 12 was described. The signifigance of the phrase is that it reflects how a Jewish man viewed himself. If you were to ask any Pharisee, they would have told you that they loved God's Law. But, Paul knew that he did not live up to the Law - that he was in fact a slave to sin. You wrote: "None of fallen man's attempts to please God bear fruit, for without faith it is impossible to please Him." That is exactly the anguish that Paul is expressing in Rom. 7:14-25. Would you dispute that the Jewish religious leaders loved God's Law - or at least thought they did? ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Paul's evil practices Pre or PostJesus | Rom 7:19 | hobbs | 169412 | ||
Dear Tim, Please for give me, for I have strong feelings about this subject. Matt 16:6 And Jesus said to them, "Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." John the Baptist called them a brood of vipers; Jesus called them blind guides! And worst of all, son's of their father the devil!!! How can one love the Law when they can't even perceive it's meaning? Their goal was to replace the Law with the traditions of men. The Pharisees were practicing and teaching an apostate religion. They twisted the Law in the same way as cults today twist the Scriptures. John |
