Indeed, repeating yourself without addressing the scriptures that disagree with you only proves your error...
Absolutely. Those who continue in SIN are still dead in SIN.
ROMANS 6:1-2 [2], What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?[2], God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer in it?
Many do not know what GRACE is for..
ROMANS 1:5 [5], By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for OBEDIENCE to the faith among all nations, for his name:
ROAMNS 16:26[26], But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
ROMANS 6:17-18 [17], But God be thanked, that you were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. [18], Being then made free from sin, you became the servants of righteousness.
ROMANS 3:31 [31], Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Grace without obedience is not God's GRACE (James 2:18-20; 26).
It seems God's WORD disagrees with you.
Yes I remember the scriptures provided that disagree with you here were ignored as well.
ROMANS 7 AND ROMANS 8
Indeed, ROMANS 7 is talking about the experience of the UNCONVERTED man and the law of SIN and DEATH (Sinful nature). It concludes in v24-25
[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 <G4561 Carnal mind or sinful human nature> the law of sin (not Born again).
Slavation from SIN is found in Jesus Christ (Saviour) ....
SO then with the MIND I serve the LAW of GOD.... Sound familiar?
HEBREWS 8:10 [10], For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MINDS AND WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people
links to..
EZEKIEL 36:26-27 [26], A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. [27], And I WILL PUT MY SPIRIT WITHIN YOU, AND CAUSE YOU TO WALK IN MY STATUTES AND YOU SHALL KEEP MY JUDGEMENTS AND DO THEM.
Romans 8 continue the same...
ROMANS 8:1-14
[1], There is therefore now no condemnation to them who are in Christ Jesus, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH <G4561 Carnal mind or sinful human nature>, BUT AFTER THE SPIRIT <Ezekiel 36:26-27; Hebrews 8:10; Jeremiah 31:31-34; NEW COVENANT PROMISE>.
[2], FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS <Ezekiel 36:26-27; Hebrews 8:10; Jeremiah 31:31-34; NEW COVENANT PROMISE> has made me free from the law of sin and death <carnal mind or sinful human nature>.
[3], For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh <G4561 Carnal mind or sinful human nature>, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh <G4561 Carnal mind or sinful human nature>: [4], That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
[5], For they that are after the flesh <G4561 Carnal mind or sinful human nature> do mind the things of the flesh <G4561 Carnal mind or sinful human nature>; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
[6], For to be carnally <G4561 same grk word used as FLESH; Carnal mind or sinful human nature> minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
[7], Because the carnal <G4561 same grk word used as FLESH; Carnal mind or sinful human nature> mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
[8], So then they that are in the flesh <G4561 same grk word used as CARNAL ; Carnal/FLESH = carnal mind or sinful human nature> cannot please God.
[9], But you are not in the flesh <G4561 same grk word used as CARNAL ; Carnal/FLESH = carnal mind or sinful human nature> , but in the Spirit <Ezekiel 36:26-27; Hebrews 8:10; Jeremiah 31:31-34; NEW COVENANT PROMISE>, if so be that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
[10], And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
[11], But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also bring to life your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.
[12], Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh <G4561 same grk word used as CARNAL ; Carnal/FLESH = carnal mind or sinful human nature>, to live after the flesh.
[13], For if you live after the flesh <G4561 same grk word used as CARNAL ; Carnal/FLESH = carnal mind or sinful human nature>, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.
[14], For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Returning back to your ROMANS 7:5-9
[5], For when we were in the flesh <G4561 same grk word used as CARNAL ; Carnal/FLESH = carnal mind or sinful human nature>, the passions of sins, which were by the law <KNOWLEDGE OF SIN>, did work in our members <SIN> to bring forth fruit unto death <ROMANS 6:23, The WAGES OF SIN is DEATH>.
[6], But now we are delivered from the law, being dead to that in which we were held; <SIN> that we should serve in newness of spirit, <NEW COVENANT PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT; Ezekiel 36:26-27; Jeremiar 31:31-33; Hebrews 8:10-12> and not in the oldness of the letter (KNOWLEDGE OF SIN).
................
ROMANS 7:6 [6], But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
Q. What was it that God's LAW shows in ROMANS 7 that has bound us? Let's go back to the verse that is before....
ROMANS 7:5 [5], For when we were in the FLESH <G4561 Carnal mind or sinful human nature>, the motions of SINS, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit to death.
A. It is SIN that has bound us!
<* NOTE: the key to this verse is delivered from the law, being dead to that in which we were held. The law revived and I died... Why? Because the LAW gave a KNOWLEDDGE of SIN. It is SIN that God's LAW holds us to. It is SIN that we are delivered from not God's LAW.>
The GREEK (interlinear) translation to english of ROMANS 7:6 is...
"Now however we have been released from the law having died to that which bound us"
................
CONCLUSION: It is that which binds us that we are released from. It is SIN that binds us not God's LAW. We are released from SIN and the penalty of SIN by walking in the SPIRIT of the NEW COVENANT promise by FAITH (ROMANS 8:1-4)...
................
[7], What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, you shall not covet.
[8], But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, worked in me all manner of covetousness. For without the law sin was dead.
[9], For I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
..................
CONCLUSION: ROMANS 7 and ROMANS 8 are talking about the NEW COVENANT promise of SALVATION from SIN; not salvation in SIN. We are not released from God's LAW (10 Commandments) as it is the KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is. We are released from SIN and the PENALTY of SIN and the law of SIN and DEATH (7v5-25; 8v2 6v23) by walking in the Spirit of the NEW COVENANT (8v1) we do not fulfill the lusts of the flesh (SIN). If you have not died to that which holds you captive (SIN) you are not released from the LAW you are UNDER the LAW Guilty before God of SIN.
Yep God's WORD does indeed disagree with you..
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved Eph2:5
Absolutely. Those who continue in SIN are still dead in SIN.
ROMANS 6:1-2 [2], What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?[2], God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer in it?
Many do not know what GRACE is for..
ROMANS 1:5 [5], By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for OBEDIENCE to the faith among all nations, for his name:

ROMANS 3:31 [31], Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Grace without obedience is not God's GRACE (James 2:18-20; 26).
It seems God's WORD disagrees with you.
It reminds me of you constantly telling me I put my own words over and above God's word when I copy/pasted rom 7:4-6 from bible gateway. You really have no qualms at all about breaking the TC do you
