Subject: Isn't Paul free of sin? |
Bible Note: Philip, I think you should be careful about taking months to try to force yourself to see a passage in a light which you have already determined it must be read in. This is a wonderful way to missinterpret scripture. Lets look at one of the key verses you mentioned. Romans 7:18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. Now Paul says taht I know nothing good DWELLS. That is present tense. But he is clarifying, in the flesh, to show that there is certainly the desire in his inner man to do good. "In the flesh" can not be him saying "in the past" because he is clearly speaking in the present tense. And this doesn't even begin to deal with Philippians 3. In Christ, Beja |
