Misusing Paul to have a good excuse to still sin. Obviously Paul is talking about before salvation.

Rom 7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. Misusing Paul to have a good excuse to still sin.
Who said anything about excusing sin? That baseless accusation is another of your sins on this thread.
Obviously Paul is talking about before salvation.
Paul is talking in the first person and present tense - so are you saying he wasn't yet saved when he wrote that?

Obviously Paul is talking about before salvation. Oh really?
"Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin."
The plain sense of the text is Paul is saved but still sins in the flesh. Present tense, not past tense is what we are reading here.
