Serve in The Oldness of The Letter

Rom.7:6 But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

Many in false religion today as back at Paul's day did not believe or refused to believe God had discharged the from the law! However, as Paul had already pointed out above in this letter to the Roman's that a woman could not have two headships without being an adulterous, something the entire law itself condemned as immoral conduct.

Ephesians 5:31 "For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh."{Genesis 2:24}

1 Corinthians 6:16 Or don't you know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one body? For, "The two," says he, "will become one flesh."{Genesis 2:24}

Furthermore, it was the death of her husband, or herself that freed her from the laws authority of her husband. If it were her husband who died she was free to remarry. She must belong to only one man according the law, if she belong to two men, two laws, she was unfaithful to both! Emotions could not come into play here, although, were a flood of emotions in a adulterous relationship, the emotions do not justify adultery allowing the person to break the law, by having to headships.

1 Timothy 3:11 Their wives in the same way must be reverent, not slanderers, temperate, faithful in all things.

1 Corinthians 4:2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards, that they be found faithful.
Luke 16:10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

Subsequently, how then could one become a Christian's without breaking the law? Moreover, how could a devout Jew become a Christian's without becoming an adultery to the law he loved? In fact, Christ was condemned and killed by those whom thought he was violating the law. The apostle Paul now had to deal with the flesh to set matters straight, to help the brothers and sisters in Christ to understand the power of Christ in them for life, for without faith, which meant once again looking to the law, (which is denying the faith given them by Holy Spirit in Christ) they could not know God, or Christ, let alone help other come to the Christ. In the law meant in the flesh, in Christ meant in the Spirit by the faith of the Spirit.

Rom. 12:3 For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

Romans 8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

Ephesians 2:15 having abolished in the flesh the hostility, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man of the two, making peace;

Conversely, this is where the flesh wars with the Spirit taking great offense at it being killed, as no good. Simply put, some one has to die for this marriage arrangement to be legal before God. Christ died in his flesh for us, then he was made alive in the Spirit. But while on earth he was made into the likeness of sin, for us, not that he had sinned, but was made to carry our sins, feeling and struggling with the effects of sin so he could become a compassionate high priest over his brothers in their flesh still on earth. Thus, if a person takes a branch off a tree and graft it into another tree, all the tree life belongs to the new limb graft into the tree there is no distinction between the limb's life and the trees. It become part of the new tree, and the life of the tree sustain the limbs life, and produce fruit and leafs on the branch. The branch cannot be independent of a life source or it will die.

Rom.8:3 For what the law couldn't do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; 8:4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

Romans 11:17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree;

Romans 11:24 For if you were cut out of that which is by nature a wild olive tree, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more will these, which are the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

Israel life source was the law, from the law headship it produced fruit for God. Just as Eve was created from Adam, and for Adam, once God married them, her life produce fruit for God. She was not an independent fruit bearer. Her fruit of life, her children and works were for her head Adam. If Eve separated from him as she did coming under the Devils headship, her future children produced were no longer God's children (having his likeness). It was only in a legal marriage, that is, covenant (marriage( that produce the children of God, with no sin.

Romans 7:9 I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

Galatians 2:18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.

Galatians 3:12 The law is not of faith, but, "The man who does them will live by them."{Leviticus 18:5}

The law covenant while enforced by God through blood sacrifice of animal's produced God's children, Israel. However, the law could be fulfilled and replaced with a better more lasting covenant, which was the Christ. In other words, God purpose for Israel covenant to be satisfied, completed as some point in its future, paid off. What paid off the old covenant? It was a perfect everlasting life which means without sin. Adam was created without sin, his covenant, i.e., with Eve was righteous, that is, sinless so their children would inherit everlasting life from Adam loins, his eternal life.

1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

1 Corinthians 15:45 So also it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul."{Genesis 2:7} The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

1 Timothy 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

1 Timothy 2:14 Adam wasn't deceived, but the woman, being deceived, has fallen into disobedience;

Animals blood could not satisfy the demand's of what Adam lost for the human race, its power was not the power of an endless life, but instead its power came from laws written on stone and later parchments. The power of Adam's endless life was God's Holy Spirit, (before sinning) Adam commune with life, that is, God. Animal blood could not produce life, letting mankind commune with the source of life, God. In other words, God's law must be satisfied by what was equal, perfect life for perfect life. We must be grafted into a perfect life, but first we must die, we must be broken off from the old life, the old tree, that is, the power of Satan world that which gives it breathe and life? Laws created to sustain (flesh), and operated all societies in an orderly manner so business can be conducted, and people can live and function in a measure of peace and prosperity.

2 Samuel 22:26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.

James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

Hebrews 10:1 For the law, having a shadow of the good to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.

Matthew 5:48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

The laws sustain Israel, but it could not produce one perfect man without sin to pay the price for sin. God must produce the victim for our sins, he came not from this earth, but from above from a sinless God. Spilling his blood, being put to death in the flesh, atoned for Israel sins and those of the world putting faith in Christ as well. But it is the endless life in the new covenant that sustains life in God's true vine or tree, and puts his body members, that is, who are created from Christ own life, his own rib like Eve from Adam that will produce endless life from their children from a sinless righteous marriage arrangement.

Romans 5:18 So then as through one trespass, all men were condemned; even so through one act of righteousness, all men were justified to life.

Romans 5:21 that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 6:22 But now, being made free from sin, and having become servants of God, you have your fruit of sanctification, and the result of eternal life.

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

It is Christ from his marriage arrangement with his bride, his body members that will once again fill the whole earth with righteous flesh, making it new. God was married to fleshly Israel through his covenant of the law, but it could not produce the endless life found in the new covenant having Christ eternal life. The law had no Spirit in it, it was a judgment of our sins, into death, the law having no power to raise us up into a sinless endless life (Spirit). The law proved we deserved death, and not life, so God gave Israel a temporary stay of execution in the flesh, by atoning, removing through payment of sin with innocent life of animal victim.

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

1 Timothy 1:16 However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Jesus Christ might display all his patience, for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life.

Hebrews 7:16 who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:

To be freed of sin, once for all times, not temporarily, one must die to sin in their flesh, but at the sametime they must also be made alive in spirit, not by laws, because one cannot be made alive in the Spirit by any law, it requires an endless life to make one alive in the Spirit, without laws of the flesh. Laws rather they be God's righteous laws given to Israel or man's unrighteous laws of the nations created to condemn sinners, convict them as unrighteous law breakers deserving of punishment.

Man cannot be an angel, that is, having intercourse with an angel without creating an unholy alliance, The flesh must die and be resurrected into spirit to associate with God's angels. God does no accept a mixture of sinful flesh with spirit that thinking is from the Devil.

Gen.6:1 It happened, when men began to multiply on the surface of the ground, and daughters were born to them, 6:2 that God's sons saw that men's daughters were beautiful, and they took for themselves wives of all that they chose. 6:3 Yahweh said, "My Spirit will not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; yet will his days be one hundred twenty years." 6:4 The Nephilim were in the earth in those days, and also after that, when God's sons came in to men's daughters. They bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 6:5 Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
6:6 Yahweh was sorry that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him in his heart.

Thus, ones flesh must be judged dead and they be made a live in the spirit to stop flesh laws from judging them as in the flesh. They must come out from under the power of fleshly laws, into a new headship of Christ through death, there is no other way. Once dead to the judgments of the flesh, sin stop, were there is no law neither is their transgression of law; rather the be be from God's law or any other law. One must die in the flesh on earth to come under a new headship in the law for the spirit persons. Which laws do not judge a righteous person, that is, a sinless person. Laws of the Spirit only give life and produce fruits of God, there is no death in the law of the Spirit. Death enter into this world from sin in the flesh, sin does not enter into the life of Christ, or God, thus, both now are the source of life.

1 Peter 1:4 to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that doesn't fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,

1 Peter 1:23 having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the word of God, which lives and remains forever.

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now I say this, brothers,{The word for "brothers" here and where context allows may also be correctly translated "brothers and sisters" or "siblings."} that flesh and blood can't inherit the Kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit incorruption.

Galatians 6:8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

2 Peter 1:4 by which he has granted to us his precious and exceedingly great promises; that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.

2 Peter 2:19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for a man is brought into bondage by whoever overcomes him.

God did not given Adam laws imputing evil (corruption) to him, sayings: “You are an evil person I know you will sin, so here are a bunch of laws to prevent you from sinning in your unrighteous flesh”. God put Adam under the laws of the Spirit love, Adam did not need to be judged and made alive from an evil past, There was no death ruling in Adam's body, he had only life, and he could produce only life from the life indwelling him from his Father YHWH.

1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

We however, must die in our flesh to stop sin and commune with life which life of all creation is now entrusted to Christ our headship. We must have all the life in the tree to be in life. That is we are in the tree its life and death, Christ death (God's tree in paradise), and we are raised in his life, by the Spirit that raised him. What is left of our flesh is in the likeness of sin, but we don't, or can't sin because we are not judged in our old flesh any longer, once for all times. The flesh is dead buried in Christ death put away and lost to mankind 2000 years ago. We are made alive by the incorruptible Spirit now indwelling Christ in his spirit body.

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Romans 10:7 or, 'Who will descend into the abyss?'{Deuteronomy 30:13} (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.)"

Romans 10:9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

Hence, being in the law no matter how much we try to keep it, making our life righteous we can not, or did it ever produce one sinless man that gave endless life to others. The problem Paul was dealing with in trying to help these brothers and sisters raised in Spirit by Christ life, to help them understand why they were left in the flesh, and what laws they were actually under. Many wanted to prove they were righteous in the flesh before God by works of law in their sinful flesh.

Galatians 4:23 However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.

Galatians 4:29 But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

Galatians 5:13 For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don't use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.

Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh.

Paul then must offend the fleshly mind in proving their was not one good thing that dwelt in any person flesh, but death. Nothing of the old self, that is, from the flesh was going to help them, or be renewed by application of laws crated to convict flesh of sin, rather that be man's laws or God's. If they started dealing with what was dead, buried in the Christ they would be corrupted by the death from a dead corpus. They must learn the real condition of all flesh before God's righteousness as of no value at all in having a relationship with a living God who is incorruptible from sins of the flesh. They must feed on God's mind as Adam had feed on God's mind to sustain eternal life. They had been given a new mind by being put into Christ. It was Christ mind as their proper headship teach them God's mind, as a mediator to God. Just as the old law was mediated by Moses, and the priest were in charge of teaching it to that body of law.

Romans 8:12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

Romans 8:13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

2 Corinthians 3:3 being revealed that you are a letter of Christ, served by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tablets of stone, but in tablets that are hearts of flesh.

2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

Jude 1:20 But you, beloved, keep building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.

1 John 2:20 You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you all have knowledge.{Or, "know what is true." Or, "know all things."}

1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

It was Christ created by God, and each anointed body member being created for Christ wife, in Spirit that will produce God's works in paradise just as Adam lost. They must think in Christ mind, being at one in Spirit with him, putting away all flesh, to please God.

2 Corinthians 2:16 to the one a stench from death to death; to the other a sweet aroma from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things?

1 Corinthians 12:11 But the one and the same Spirit works all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.

1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:16 "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him?"{Isaiah 40:13} But we have Christ's mind.

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God.

Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body.
