Romans 7

Chapter 7

1 ¶ Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,)how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

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.

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, Thou shalt not covet.

8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.

11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

14 ¶ For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.

17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.

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.

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:

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.

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.

The kingdom is spiritual as faith is a gift but faith without works is dead because that faith is false. To say you have accepted Christ but not do as he says is both vile and vain. C hrist came in the flesh, preached the kingdom and overcame the flesh but continued to live in the flesh but not of it. He ate and drank in his kingdom,7 appointed men who appointed men to do real things in the kingdom to which he restored power with a baptism of fire.

Christians seem to no longer have that power. It is because they are no longer Christians but have sacrificed to other gods and applied for the bounty of those altars. They have elected new fathers who exercise parens patria. USC15s15. They are again a scattered flock who by the voice of the people choose men to exercise authority over them and their neighbor and call them benefactor and pretend to be Christians having a form of godliness but deny the power there of.

They "invent" their own christianity and live in a strong delusion. We know that all the nations will be deceived and returned to bondage and of course they have. Their mortal flesh is again in the bondage of Egypt more than it was in the days of Joseph. This is so because the spirit is not in them but they are deceived.
