Bible Note: Greetings John! No problem my friend! It probably won't be the last time I get yelled at. :-) Concerning your p.s., I would encourage you to demonstrate through Scripture what you think, or where you think I am wrong. My conclusion about the 'wretched man' is pretty simple. Either, Paul is writing about all unbelievers in general (which would not fit because all unbelievers do not love the Law of God), or Paul is writing about all believers (which would not fit what he says in chapters 6 and 8), or Paul is writing about a very specific situation. As a pharisee, he loved the law of God, but as an unbeliever, he was still a slave to sin. If anyone can give me a better explanation that does not ignore chapters 6 and 8, I would be glad to listen. :-) Regardless, I would love to see the actual text of Romans 6 and 8 addressed in a response.
