, 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.>
T
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.
..................
OVERALL CONCLUSION........
You are trying hard are you not, but to no avail sadly.
For when we were in the realm of the flesh,a]'>[a] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in us, so that we bore fruit for death
Rom7:5
Sin, through the law arouses sinfull passions in man. I could spend much time explaining to you why, but it would be to no avail I am afraid.
Sin through what is holy, just and good made man exceeding sinfull(rom7:13). In order to see victory over sin you must die to sins power(naturally) What is the power of sin?
The power of sin is the law 1Cor15:56
Why?
The [power of sin is righteousnerss of observing the law. For through that sin has the power to condemn you to hell. And through your fear of condemnation by the law all manner of sin is aroused in you. It is a heartless message, no love in it at all. Just fear of condemnation.
Imagine a child being told by his parents if he infringed the rules he would be thrown out of the house until he earnestly repented. He wouldn't have loving parents would he? But that in reality is what you preach.
Does your way work? Well I have had three sda members bear false witness against me in Christian forums, with not a hint of an apology, and you kept on and on doing it as any unbiased observer will know. So no, it doesn't work, as it did not work for the Pharisees. In truth, you are far less concerned at breaking God's laws than I am. You preach what you do not even try to practice. You just make excuses for your sin as not really sin at all. Seen it over decades, time and time again from people who relentlessly state: You must obey the TC, with the strong inference heaven hinges on it.
Only if you die to the law do you see true victory over sin, otherwise you can only clean the outside of the cup. Hypocrisy, being full of everything unclean remains on the inside, and you show little or no love to others.
Once again, you must die to a law of righteousness for sin not to be your master. If anyone tells you, they do not believe in righteousness of observing the law, but you can only be in a saved state if you observe the law, they are either blind or wilfully lying to you.
Hopeless to say anymore, you either follow after the Holy Spirit or the written code, it cannot be both. So all you are left with is a message of reeling the letter off/copy pasting it, that bears no reflection on the reality of your life/demanding of others what you do not demand of yourself. Jesus called that hypocrisy
