Bible Question:
This is a revisit to Romans 8:2 as I try to put into ink rather than pencil, a final draft. My physical problems with cancer are causing me more pain and the end may be nearer, so I want to put as much closure as possible to as many questions I put forth here on the forum. The question I first brought up was whether "spirit of life" would be an appropriate interpretation for Romans 8:2. I now agree, however, with the NASB and NKJ in their "law of the Spirit". I see these comparison verses and I welcome your comments or Amens. Romans 7:22 speaks to my mind of the law of (God) in the inner man. Romans 8:2 speaks of the law of the (Spirit), of life in Christ Jesus, which sets us free. We still need the Greek scholars to inform us of punctuation possibilities. Romans 8:5 speaks of "the things of the (Spirit)". Romans 8:11 speaks of life through His (Spirit) who indwells us. Romans 8:16 tells us that "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit", that we are children of (God). 1 Corinthians 15:50 shows us that we need to be concerned about the things of the Spirit and of the heavenly Man. Flesh and blood cannot inhearit the kingdom of (God). 1 Peter 4:6 says that even though we are judged in the flesh as men, we may live according to God in the *(Spirit). I welcome your thoughts.

Bible Answer: Ray, I wanted to make you aware of what seems to be promising new cancer treatment technology being developed in Israel, Canada, and a few other countries. While my prayers are with you, Justme, and even some of my own family dealing with cancer, I do not wish to create false hopes. However, I feel it is only right to provide information that you can examine and make your own prayerful determination.
