  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Jesus vs Paul, law abolishment. A simple answer, from a frog.

show me how i am pitting 5 against 7?
Like I said ...
12Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— 13for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. Rom 5:12-14

Sin isn't dead in any sense depriving Paul's earlier statements of truth.
Sin's alive. Proof: we're dying. We were dying pre-law. So the law didn't make sin alive in any sense of Romans 5.

Look Mike..the "through" word...what did sin work "through"?;)
Sin worked through the Law.

But saying that doesn't make it any different.

Sin also worked through Adam.

Sin also worked through you.

Sin worked through that which was good, just, holy.

Look, Frogster: What's doing the sinful actions?[/quote]
When did sin revive?

9I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died;
Again, when I look introspectively, I became vividly aware of sin in myself when learning what the Law's precepts prohibited.
What did sin use?


11for sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.
Sin uses good things all the time. It's not a surprise that the sin in me exploits what's good that's given to me. It's not even remarkable. What'd Eve do?

12So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. Rom 7:12

Where did I say sin was alive in 5? I said it was added to increase trespass, and sin, as 5 shows.

But in7, Paul was saved, and he said it aroused sin, sin worked 'through' the command etc, that is a fact.

8But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead. 9I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died; 10and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me; 11for sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.

Sin's clearly alive if it's killing people.

That's not a fact. That's not what Paul said, so it's not a fact. Translating "through" into "aroused by" in the sense you're asserting forces the Law to become a cause -- when it's clearly not.

What's really regrettable about this translation is that 7:4 actually uses a word normally translated "roused".

Get a wooden translation from Greek, or an interlinear. You'll see how much liberty this is taking with Paul's statement. Paul attributes this whole action to sin, working through the Law just like it works through everything: corrupting our use of it. Sin was working through the law to bear deadly fruit. Now'f you want to listen to someone who translated interpret for ya, that's your business. But don't attribute it to Paul.

Sin's the problem. The Law is words on paper, it's not something that's going to express power over sin, but will simply declare its penalty.

And what's sin do? "Oh, look, a great description of sins we could do, right here in the Law!"

Mike, your really over pressing this..

I can solve it in one easy question, right out of the context....

Why was sin dead, apart from law, that worked through the command?


Lookie here, plain as day...


7;8But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.

If something is through it, it needs it.;)

Then once u admit I'm right, we can go to the power of sin, being the law, 1 cor 15:56.

well of course sin lives in the flesh..

7:17As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.

Like I said, it was added to the old creation order of the flesh, and as 7 confirms, if we walk under law, it will connect us to the flesh.

5:20:The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,

and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me Rom 7:10

The problem of course is that the Law isn't designed for compliance in the old, corrupt creation. It's a stipulation to the old creation that it is not conformed to God's justice.

He is just quoting lev 18:5 there, he said in Gal 3:21, the law does not give life.

Paul is simply saying the direction of the law is not its result when it is co-opted by a sinful human being.

Frogster, can people live on without air?

I suppose that depends on whether it is "carnal" or "spiritual" air :confused:

Ephesians 2:2 in which when ye walk in accord to the age of this world, in accord to the chief/ruler of the authority of the air/aeroV <109>,
of the spirit the now in-working in the sons of the stubborn

Reve 16:17 and the seventh Messenger pours out the bowl/vial of him into the air/aera <109>
and came out a great voice from the Sanctuary of-the heaven from the throne saying "it has become"/gegonen <1096> (5754).
[Reve 21:6]

Blue Letter Bible - Lexicon
Strong's Number G109 matches the Greek &#7936;&#8053;&#961; (a&#275;r), which occurs 7 times in 7 verses in the Greek concordance

#109 used 7 times. 1 time Acts, 4 times Eipstles, 2 times Revelation.

That's okay -- you're not my pedagogue. :satisfied:

It's not creativity, btw. I'm paraphrasing Nicoll.

So as to facts -- the fact is, the translation you're favoring has little to do with the original Greek, which doesn't really appear to hold your view. (Nicoll's author of the "Expositor's New Testament").
