It's not that complicated.
And you certainly have a lot of experience with asserting "your own dogma."
Paul after his conversion was no longer under the Law of Moses, (1 Corinthians 9:20), but rather under the law of Christ, which is the law of God (1 Corinthians 9:21), as well as "any other commandment there may be," as stated in Romans 13:8-10.
In Romans 7:7 Paul is still under the law; i.e., before his conversion, which experience he describes in Romans 7:7-23. . .until the end of the passage in his deliverance in Christ (7:25a), followed by a summary of the passage (7:25b) of Romans 7:13-24.
"The Law (of Moses)" also means the Torah (Luke 24:44; Matthew 7:12, 22:40).
Just as I said. You would have been wise to heed the passages that klute posted to me: and you saw my response, and quoted it, and disagreed with "Good grief", and then proceeded to foist your dogma onto the statement from Paul about the letter and how it kills.
You've taken passages from Paul and have read them according to the letter, and from the letter you built up a dogma that doesn't really have much of anything to do with the passages you have appropriated so as to build your house of dogma. The dogma then brought forth blindness: and the blindness now prevents you from reading certain other passages from Paul, like Romans 7, for simply what they plainly say.
So how does Clare73 actually read Romans 7:24-25? One can only imagine it goes something like the following:
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself
And everything is bliss in Clare73 dogma land.
