You must include Romans 7:7-8:3 at the very least. And the whole book to grasp the context of this Epistle. That is why I dislike Cut and Paste Theology, as I said before, it allows one to make any passage of Scripture say what ever is in that persons personal agenda.
You are doing the very thing you warn against. You cut and paste numerous passages that have nothing to do with my direct question. Do you think that I do not know the context of the passage? Of course you know that I have read not only the context, but the entire Bible. You know that I have studied these passages in numerous translations. So what are you doing except constructing a huge smoke screen, hoping that none of us notice that you never answered my question. You never dealt with the Romans 7 passage.
I tried giving you a little context to help those following along. Right now I am going to distill the passage down to one verse, Romans 7:4. Following is the Hebraic-Roots version by James Trimm:
Roman 7:4
(4) And now, my brothers, you also are dead to the Torah in the body of the Messiah that you might be [married] to another who arose from among the dead, that you might bear fruit to Eloah.
Considering that in context, verse 3 is talking about the Torah of Moses, would you admit that verse 4 here also is talking about the Torah of Moses?
If you disagree, please go to the verses just prior to this and just following this and explain how he jumps from one Torah to another Torah in his speech. You seem to be extremely confused about what Sha'ul is teaching here.
Again, for the record, I am Torah observant and believe like you do that Torah will not pass away until heaven and earth pass away. I agree with most of what you write, but there is something you seem to miss here in your zeal to exalt the Torah.
Peace be with you.
David Miller.
