Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all...

You are taking that out of context. That was BEFORE he was a Christian. Paul was a Spirit-filled Christian that no longer committed willful sin as he had before Christ. The problem is his use of the word "I." You believe it was current. But let's look in the same chapter at verse 9. "I was...

You forgot one describing the unsaved. 1 John 1:6 It, as well as 8 and 10 are unsaved. Notice they are all separated from one another by one verse. Are you relating to 1 John 1:8? Sorry about that, but verse 9 tells you how to become a Christian, so there is hope for you.

What are you talking about. It is God that frees us from sin, the devil doesn't free us from sin!

I understand perfectly.

Flee out of what Church? You just correctly answered my question. For some reason I thought you were Calvinist.

Bye for now.

No, that is where you are wrong. Read John 8:34-36, and 1 John 3. Born again of the Spirit Christians do not commit willful sin, but you admitted you do everyday.

@Mjh29 and @Anthony D'Arienzo It seems you believe Jesus did not free us from sin, including Paul, but only freed us from the law, and its penalty.

Paul knew the law very well, because he used to be a Pharisee. He is teaching why we don't need the law anymore to not sin. It is because we now have the Spirit that keeps us from sinning willfully.

I'm a Christian and I can recite the Ten Commandments. So what?

He is teaching the difference between the righteousness under the law, that isn't righteous at all, but sin and death, and the righteousness we have through Jesus and the Spirit. It is Romans 7 vs. Romans 8, which is the LAW vs. SPIRIT.

Paul wrote: Romans 6 and 8 are Christians. You are believing texts out of context, but more likely your whole denomination believes the lie. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 15 What...

So you relate to Romans 7? That is a person under the law with their sin nature intact. They are not born again of the Spirit. They are not even a Christian.

Why is it you can never quote a Scripture with your statements?

WCF: Chapter 6: Depravity of man. #5 5. This corruption of nature, during this life, doth remain in those that are regenerated; and although it be, through Christ, pardoned, and mortified; yet both itself, and all the motions thereof, are truly and properly sin. So you say the sins you commit...

Of course it was true. But it was not part of the "covenant." God gives us what we need. In the wilderness it was not a land flowing with milk and honey. God provided their food. "I have never seen the righteous go hungry." As for the WCF, I have read it and it about made me sick from reading...

17 “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 Whoever therefore breaks one of the...

2. Covenant Theology is not upheld in most Reformed denominations. You have to believe in everything in the New Covenant and most Reformed denominations believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit ceased, which is impossible inside a covenant. Nothing ceases until the covenant itself ceases, and the...

Ok, thanks. Good night. I want to get back to JW
