Philippians 3:4-5 KJV [4] Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: [5] Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a...

Well the references given are circumcising etc …,,,

So this is where I lack understanding. Paul seems to speaking of what he tore down as his observation of Old Testament laws. I never even heard of or observed these laws prior to Christianity so how does this have anything to do with me? Unless of course I’ve only been role playing?

Well of course, I am crucified yet I live.

Seems to me that Paul is saying that sin is the observance of the law.

Paul just said here that the flesh was his observation of the law.

Galatians 2:18-20 KJV [18] For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. [19] For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. [20] I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I...

I see what you are saying, Paul seems to me anyhow to be saying something similar. He seems to imply he did the demolition and now God is doing the plowing? Galatians 2:18-20 KJV [18] For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. [19] For I through the law am...

Isaiah 35:6 KJV [6] Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. Maybe we are led to see we are in fact that desert land, and not so much lead out as He is entered in?

Strengthen that which remains? @stunnedbygrace

Acts 7:47-50 KJV [47] But Solomon built him an house. [48] Howbeit the most High dwelleth not in temples made with hands; as saith the prophet, [49] Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? [50] Hath not my hand...

This is well received, Paul said they those first century Christian Jews were the children of promise, and they did receive. I’m beginning to see the promise all along wasn’t a geographical conquest yet it was the promise of God in them. I believe they were the temple/land?

Weird thing is the Joshua and the others entered and even built temples and synagogues yet The epistles say the patriarchs never received the promise?

that was weird, He said it’s gonna be okay, that Goliath was David’s outer man.

I’m gonna go weep now, and plead for His help!

So simple put to be born again is to be born of the Spirit of God….. which is love!

I am my greatest foe!

Acts 7:43 KJV [43] Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which ye made to worship them: and I will carry you away beyond Babylon.

Who is the enemy in focus here @Laurina ?

God help us!
