1 | Flesh serving...? | Rom 7:25 | rzacc | 189929 | ||
Howdy- the 'flesh', meaning the old man, the old nature, is still with us - hanging on to our bodies... It is the battle we face as believers daily with sin, with which we will struggle until we get rid of this body (8:23). Paul, in his flesh- his old man, still fought with sin, as we do. But the great thing is that 'with my mind, I serve the law of God!'. He says that 'the willing is present in my', not to sin, but it's "the doing" that I have problems with! I can relate to that, can't you?? rz ps: The Amplified puts the words HE WILL into the text, and they are not present, nor are they implied. That verse is NOT the answer to the question from the previous verse, as the Ampl. implies, and to which many paraphrases ellude. I believe either 1. the question is rhetorical, and expresses the frustrating conclusion to the battle he has been struggling with, (after explaining the positional reality in Chapter 6-7), or 2. He sees The answer in his presentation of Chapter 8. I am leaning toward the first explanation, but the jury is still out. Your thoughts??? Coram Deo, ronz "Are you all alone?" asked the man as I rode in the dark past his cabin in the snow. "Are you all alone?" asked the stars. "Are you all alone?" echoed the hills. If a man is all alone in this miraculous world, then a neighbor is no help. |

2 | Paul's flesh | Rom 7:25 | rzacc | 189927 | ||
Yes he is. It is a summary of the battle which he just finished explaining in Ch 7. That is the battle that ever believer faces with the flesh.. and He thanks God for that battle, becasue without the Holy Spirit in residence, there is not battle. That war is an indication that the Spirit is alive and well within us. He takes up the Spirit's securing us now and into eternity in the next chapter... What a life chaning study is Romans 6-8. The question I had was in trying to make the connection by the use of 'apa ouv', and come up with an adequate English translaton. I do not believe that there is a smooth transition, unless one tortures the text. I don't think the amplified helps. May the Grace and Peace of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you. Coram Deo, ronz |

3 | I need a NT verse... | Lev 18:6 | rzacc | 189892 | ||
Howdy. May I express my view on this? I know of no such reference. The dividing of the law into it's three components is unbiblical, and was not done, from what I understand, until the Roman Church. It is always expressed as a unit: the Law. One can not even accurately draw a line between the components within the law itself. I believe that you are leading yourself down a very confusing pathway. It is much safer to just take Romans 5-6 for what it says (and Galatians, Heb 8, etc. also). then build another Covenant understanding from the New Testament. Both covenants are built upon the same foundation: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and strength and your neighbor as yourself. From that point, they diverge. Best to you. rzacc |
