Verse 25 is just the conclusion of verses 14-25 of someone under the law of sin and death which goes back to the beginning of verses 5-13. Chapter 8 now shows what Paul was thanking Jesus for. The Law is know by the mind of what to do, but it is in opposition to the sinful flesh. Romans 7:25...

Remember that these verse are talking about someone under the law of sin and death. Now read Romans 8:2 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. Which one is Paul's current condition?

In 1 John if you apply "we" to only the saved, believing that John is including himself, as Romans 7 is believing Paul is speaking of his current condition, then you rob yourself of the true meaning. God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him...

"I" and "we" mean either non-saved or saved. That encompasses everyone. And mankind is everyone.

Our new nature acts from being in love with God. He is not some far-off entity that holds judgment towards me in His hand. I never want to do anything that would hurt Him. I would rather obey His leading to do righteous things, and they make me happy, not sad that I can't go out and kill...

I did. It was the "thou shalt not think of a pink elephant." Immediately your flesh thinks of a pink elephant. The New Covenant isn't about what not to do, but what to DO. Love God with all your heart, mind and body, and love your neighbor as yourself. Could you commit adultery right in front...

Paul and John were both Hebrews and always put themselves in their teachings. But "mankind" is more appropriate. Paul wasn't alive when Abraham was alive before the law, nor was he alive when God gave the law to Moses, even though he uses "I". Right? At the time Paul would be over 1,300 years...

No, it is the infilling of the Holy Spirit that makes us reborn in the first place. He doesn't come later - He is the cause of the rebirth.

It means exactly that. It means to live there, to dwell, remain. Romans 8:9 shows what happens when instead of the Spirit drawing us to Christ from the OUTSIDE of us, there comes a point called repentance where the Spirit comes on the INSIDE and dwells in us changing everything about us. He...

No, not the rebirth. That is the next change. The first change for mankind before verse 17 came was God's giving of the Ten Commandments to Moses. Man went from no law to being under the Ten Commandments. You need to go back further. Romans 7:5-13 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful...

Sin dwelt in us since Adam sinned, and we inherited the serpents nature. Jesus changed that curse. Romans 7:17 is BEFORE Jesus; it was when all we had was the Law. Jesus took sin away. 1 John 3:5. I also answered your question. You asked where did sin go? I said - the cross. And I supplied...

Where did it go? To the cross along with the nature from Adam's sin that produced it. Romans 6:6-7 and Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 having wiped out the...

the sin nature. That is the old man. Romans 6:6-7

Actually, recognizing this fact is the first step in becoming born again in my experience. At least, that's what happened to me 45 years ago. I had to tell God I was giving up trying to be good in my own power; that Jesus was stronger than I was and had to intervene and take away the object of...

This is why justification by faith only is misleading. Someone may have faith IN Christ, but do not have the faith OF Christ from having Christ inside of them with His divine power, Romans 8:9, 2 Peter 1:2-4, instead still outside drawing them with knowledge.

He is not subject to them. We were subject to them. They were about God, so how could He be subject to Himself?

Hebrews 9: 16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. 19 For when...

Pray and ask Jesus to take away your sin nature and to fill you with His Holy Spirit.

I don't know where you are getting this jargon from. Maybe that is why I'm confused. Romans 6:6-7 talks about the old man (our sin nature) being crucified - making our nature dead to sin. The outer man is just a shell that has no need to be reborn until the resurrection at the second coming. It...

The Ten Commandments could not make anyone righteous, because all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Even if they keep the letter of the law, the 10th commandment is easily broken (coveting), because that is in our mind, and they still had their sin nature, called "the old man."...
