Bible Note: Greetings Biblicalman! Good observations, but just to set the record straight. There is in Greek an historical present, were the present tense can be used to describe past events or actions. No everyone agrees that Romans 7:14-25 is an historical present, but it is possible. Thus, tense alone will not answer this question. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
