Did you not observe they were called the "sons of God"? Are males going to mate with each other? Does God have to tell the angels not to be homosexuals? The angels of God are ministering angels. Their focus is not on each other but on God. It is just as Paul said when he wished we were all like...

That I am.

Without a denomination, I can fellowship anywhere. But the false doctrines that came out of the Reformation seem to be the norm, and they don't even know they are dead. There is no life in these defeatist doctrines. Your post was a little mean, like you think you know me. I assure you, you don't.

Seeing as I have not found a denomination without flaws in doctrine, I've given up denominations altogether. It is amazing what you can learn when it is just you and the Holy Spirit.

"Sons of God" are all angels God created, both good and those who had fallen. Job 1: 6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them. 7 And the Lord said to Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the Lord and...

Personally, I believe He writes His laws on our conscience. 1 John 3:21-24 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. 22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is...

In the sense it is talking about, yes. Our nature is in our mind. Our nature is our flesh. There are two meanings for flesh. nature and body

Jesus came to make us sinless. Did He succeed? Most think not. I believe He succeeded in giving us everything we need through the Spirit.

That is exactly right. Sin was in his members before Christ. 1 John 3:5 Christ was manifest to take away our sin, and in Him there is no sin.

No, I was talking to you. Weren't you talking about Paul and you said, Paul fully understood that in his flesh there was nothing good.

We were talking about Paul.

But he was freed from the law of sin and death, and was no longer in his flesh, but in the Spirit.

Present tense would have to apply to every verse in chapter 7 then right? What about 7:9. Was Paul over 1300 years old to have been alive before and after the law was given to Moses? Paul's I is mankind. It is a general statement. But still, Romans 8:2 says the law of the Spirit of life in...

It is like a Pharisee. They served the letter of the law. So, of course, they thought they served the law. They served with a carnal mind and carnal nature. Christians serve God with the mind of Christ, and in the Spirit.

No, with the carnal mind, he served the law as a Pharisee. We don't get a new mind until we have the Spirit which Romans 7 person does not have, thus they still were controlled by sin. The Christian isn't.

Our mind knows what the law of God is as it was written in stone. But, again, chapter 8 tells us the law was weak through the flesh, same as Romans 7:13. The carnal flesh hindered the law from making us righteous. Chapter 8 shows who solved the problem - Jesus. He took away our sin, the culprit...

Chapters one through 8 is Paul's whole teaching about the transition from being under the law, to being under grace. And in this instance grace is the power of God indwelling us. The Jews had the law drilled into their mind (just as I memorized the whole Ten Commandments as a child and can still...

You have to connect Roman 7 and 8, because chapter 8 immediately gives the answer to the struggle obeying the law of chapter 7 - the Holy Spirit. Romans 7:20 is a person under the law, but does not have Jesus yet, nor His Spirit. Romans 7:13 shows the cause of the struggle - sin. Who takes away...

Exactly, but it is more than walking on someone's property. It is any unknown offense taken by another person (not God).

Where did you get the idea that all sin is willful? Did you go to seminary?
