Romans 7 and the WEAKNESS, of littledavids "ideas"
Posted : 1 Jun, 2021 02:48 AM
When we were in the flesh, means we are no longer in the flesh ?
What is newness of spirit ?
How we brought fruit to death in the oldness?
How are we delivered from the law that held us dead ?
Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
Here is the new spirit given, and the heart of stony flesh taken away.
Which is why here it is told we are not in the flesh when the Spirit of God shall dwell in us.
Here we are told we put off the body of the sin of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ..
Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
Romans 8:8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Colossians 2:11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
We are called to be spiritual to worship the Father, means we are carnal, or not carnal ?
Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Carnal and walking as men is when there are envies and strife, which we are to not be yet carnal..
1 Corinthians 3:3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
Here is a clear message of doing what we hate, and allow not...
Romans 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
We can find the same when we look, how Israel was to hate the evil, and love the good, for God to be gracious to the remnant.
Those who love the Lord are to hate evil, as Apostle Paul said.
The fear of the Lord is to hate evil.
The righteous man hates lying.
The ones who hate covetousness prolong their days.
Jesus taught us every one that does evil hates the light. Jesus shows us how when we do truth ( not doing evil) we have come to the light ( no longer hating the light doing evil against it)
The Light is Christ, we come to Him who loves righteousness and hates iniquity to be reproved and be manifested and working in God..
Amos 5:15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the Lord God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Psalm 97:10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.
Proverbs 8:13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Proverbs 13:5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
Proverbs 28:16 The prince that wanteth understanding is also a great oppressor: but he that hateth covetousness shall prolong his days.
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Hebrews 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
The law then is consented as good when the evil we would not, we do.
The law is made for the lawless disobedient, the ungodly sinner, the unholy.....
Romans 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
1 Timothy 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
The evil that we would not do, that we do.
That is caused by sin dwelling in us.
No good thing dwells in our flesh.
How to do the good, we find not ?
Romans 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
That is speaking after the manner of men ( for those carnal and not spiritual, and yet walking as men)
That is because of the weakness of mans flesh, who do uncleanness adding iniquity unto iniquity,
Those who have their iniquity added unto iniquity do not come into the Lords righteousness.
We serve in righteousness to holiness.
If we still do the evil we would not, we are not confessing, ( but are denying) that the Lord is faithful who establishes us and keeps us from evil...
Psalm 69:27 Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into thy righteousness.
Romans 6:19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
2 Thessalonians 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.
We delight in the law of God, when evil is yet present with us...
Romans 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
The law of God is our delight, and the judgments of the Lord are to help us, those who are astray like a lost sheep, and the Lord has to seek these servants/lost sheep.
Then to those who delight in the law of God after the inward man, the Lord did answer He will both search His sheep and seek them out.
Because all we as sheep have gone astray, to our own way ( doing evil even though we would not do it) and the Lord laid the iniquity of us all on our Lord Jesus Christ.
Then we no longer are astray, we return to the Shepherd and Bishop of our souls..
Psalm 119:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my delight.
175 Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
176 I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
Ezekiel 34:11 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out.
Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
1 Peter 2:25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
Another law is in our members then, to bring us into captivity to the law of sin.
Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
That sin is brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ of what wars against our mind, and we cast down all imaginations.
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal ( we are not then carnal) but are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds ( of satan's weakness in the flesh)..
2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2 Corinthians 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
With the mind that is warred against, we serve God, which is us serving in the flesh, the law of sin.
Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
Now we have the law of faith ( to overcome that war with )
Through faith we establish the law ( God is faithful who will stablish us and keep us from evil)
This is justifying circumcision and the uncircumcision through faith, by circumcision of the heart ( new heart and by newness of spirit to serve with)...
Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Romans 2:28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Last consideration, the flesh is weak, what does it mean ?
It means, except we east the strong flesh of the Son of man, we have no life in us, as our weak flesh means death..
Mark 14:38 Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
John 6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
John 6:56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
Romans 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The False Apostle No-Answer-Adam, who falsely teaches that Jesus and Micheal the Archangel are the same person, proves he doesn’t understand how to determine biblical distinctions here and elsewhere.
Paul is not contradicting himself when he claims to be “faultless” in one specific sense and context as contrasted to an entirely different sense and context with “doing those things he doesn’t want to do”.
Paul was indeed faultless in the legal sense and context in which he was then speaking but concerning another entirely separate occasion and distinct context, Paul was speaking about spiritual disappointment.
Understanding distinctions is an elementary biblical principle of interpretation that beginner Bible students understand.
Sadly, that simple principle has simply escaped the False Apostle No-Answer-Adam ‼️
