You teach to look at ourselves and our sin. The Devil teaches the same. I teach to look at Christ and his righteousness. God teaches the same. We are as he is. We are as righteousness as God "in him" 1 John 4:17 ... as he is, so are we in this world. 2 Corinthians 5:21 ... we might be made...

I have given this much thought as to why folks on here keep telling me Christians sin when they are walking in the flesh. That might be someone else's ministry but it's not mine. I never said it anywhere and yet so many keep saying I have. For the gazillionth time I don't sin in him. And it's...

Paul tells us right up at the top of the chapter that he is talking to those who are into or know the law. And then the context of the whole chapter is how we can see it's all about Israel and their Law and how they toy with their flesh.

My first red flag was the Catholics teach we are sinners. They teach us to look at ourselves and our sin. I teach to look at Christ and to walk in his spirit.

Of course I know. I have been able to put the whole New Testament together and make sense out of it. I tell you what the whole chapter is about in the OP. Here it is again... Romans 7 tells us right up at the top of the chapter that Paul is talking to those who are into or know the law. And...

Did I miss something? What verse in Romans 8?

Sad isn't it? That folks think Paul had a sin nature because God left us in a state of being alive to sin and it's with much effort, frustration, and failure that we battle this sin nature the rest of their lives.

I cannot support the Law in my writings because there are way too many still teaching the Law applies to us and it does not. We are not under the Legal administration that was suited only to Israel under the Law, that is sometimes called the Mosaic Law that terminated when Jesus Christ died. We...

That's right Paul doesn't say anything about Christians in Romans 7 because he's talking to Jews. Paul's meaning in that chapter is... this is what the letter (the Law) produces. Sin. There were no chapter headings in these documents and so as you keep reading it takes you right into Romans 8...

I write it this way... Now remember our minds are similar to computers in the sense they can be programmed, and once programmed, they will continue to function as programmed until we reprogram them. This is what I believe the twelfth chapter of Romans is talking about when it states we should...

I'm not talking about the book of Romans. I'm talking about Romans 7.

I would never let them beat me up since the Chinese taught me how to fight. I did however, kick the H out of one in Jr. High who tried to cut in the line.

You might mean anyone when you talk to those who know the Law. Paul means Jews when he says he speaks to those who know the Law. The reason you believe Paul is a sinner is because you do not believe he's talking just to Jews. I believe he's not a sinner and therefore cannot be talking to...

I worked for 21 years with 340 employees around me and a good 50 guys in the break room at any given time with the television on and it was never the White men who were screaming over the football game. It was always the Black men. I don't care to go to church with them either because I know...

He's referring to Israel and not Christians when he says I'm speaking to those who know the Law. He himself was one of them and so he's saying I speak to my own people. Those like me and this is what I felt then when I was one of you. He addresses Israel again in Romans 10:1 when he writes...

I do not believe Paul is addressing Romans 7 to everyone and yeah it does matter because you think Paul is talking to everyone and I don't. I do not believe we are all sinners. It's Israel in Romans 7 that he's referring to and Israel are not Christians so he's not talking about us.

When I'm writing about Romans 7 I'm writing about the Mosaic Law because I believe Paul is addressing Israel in that chapter. I'm not writing about common laws like don't murder or rape which do not apply to me because it's impossible for a Christian to do such things when they are walking in...

The problem with the book is there's now 80 different translations. So even folks on here have used a Bible that says the exact opposite of what my Bible says for the same verse. They then call their Bible God's Word and what I believe they call my opinion.

I have already learned much. I'm now considered an expert in biblical data concerning the New Testament. I therefore stand in the spirit very close right in the face of both God and Jesus Christ.
