Then what did he mean by saying in verse 2 of the very next chapter, "For the law of the spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, hath delivered me from the law of sin and of death"?
and i am rather appalled at the misapplication of certain scriptures to justify weakness
Nobody is trying to justify weakness. Stop bearing false witness.
That is EXACTLY what you are doing and then you go accusing me of your SIN. You Are misusing scripture to justify your sins...this is obvious. Shame on you..
you are simply wrong...
1 John 3:7-15
King James Version (KJV)
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
are you going to now try and prove the most blessed John wrong? Go ahead and try...
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
