LOL. Like I said, you can't deal with it honestly, and we all know why.
Ok if you wish we will do this again.
You requested we only look at the verses you pulled out of context.
By this methodology you could "prove" anything.
But we are called to study and show ourselves approved. So we will look at the whole of Chapter 7. This way we won't be taking things out of context and misrepresenting the words of Paul as Peter warned us the wicked sin lovers do in 2 Peter.
Romans 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?
(So it starts off with two interesting points. His Brethren are those who know Torah, and that is whom he is talking to. He also continues on with upholding the law as definer of sin forever. A continuation of Chapter 6s celebration of Torah.)
*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.
(Here he talks about a woman's remarriage, how in one case it is a death sentence and in another fine. Again using Torah as the definer)
*4**Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of the Messiah; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto*יהוה.
(Here he lets us know we are free from the death sentence of the law through the death of our Husband Messiah. I.e. under Grace)
*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.
(Without Grace, Law breaking could only lead to 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.
(Now when we serve Him, we are under the spirit of Grace, not under the death sentence of law breaking. In other words...when we break the law Grace catches us. Not death.)
*7**What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means. 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.
(So should we avoid the law? of course not. Is it bad to try to follow because we are under Grace? That is silly. We can't even know what sin is without it! After all it defines it!)
*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.
When we live without law we cannot sin. Therefore we need no Grace. But YHWH gave us the law to teach us to try and be good. By the law we recognize the sin in ourselves which leads to death. And this is a gift of teaching from YHWH.)
*10**And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
(The Torah was given us to teach us how he wants us to live. How to treat ourselves, others and Our Father. But we are imperfect so they eventually condemn us all when we sin.)
*11**For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
(Because sin is violation of the law, and no man can live sin free, and the wages of sin are death... Sin without Grace is a death sentence.)
*12**Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
(More Torah loving by Paul. Who lived it all his life to the best of his ability. And taught it in his writings.)
*13**Was then that which is good made death unto me? By no means. 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.
(The law is good. And good at its job of teaching us His way. And it wasn't the law that was bad. But PAUL himself because of the lawlessness in himself. This led to a lot of sin.)
*14**For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
(This verse seems to be hard for many. They try and make law keeping out to be Carnal. But reading it in Context we see that the law is Spiritual but MAN is carnal. and the Carnal man can not keep it perfectly no matter how hard we try. Therefore we sell ourselves to death for the price of law breaking without Grace.)
*15**For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
(He hates breaking Torah. But it happens no matter how hard he tries)
*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.
(When he breaks Torah he has to admit that the law is good, but the seed of rebellion in him. The sin in him.)
*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.
(Nothing good is in his Carnal self)
*19**For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
(In his heart he wants to live Torah... Which he has said Is The measure of good but because he is flesh he fails)
*20**Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
(So if he breaks Torah that he wants to keep- it is the sin inherent in his Carnal flesh that drives it to happen)
*21**I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
(Here he defies a law. One of seven different laws spoken of by Paul. So Pauline law states even when we would do good by Torah keeping we still are not good ourselves. In fact we are evil.)
*22**For I delight in the law of*יהוהafter the inward man:
(His heart is delighted by Torah.)
*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.
(But there is another law besides Torah. He calls it the law of sin and says it is separate from Torah. This law fights the desire to keep Torah within him.)
*24**O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
(First he asls the question...)
*25**Thanks be to*יהוה*through Yahushua the Messiah our Saviour. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of*יהוה; but with the flesh the law of sin.
(Then he answers it. The father gave the son. The son saved us. He wants to serve Torah but he is flesh and that serves the law of sin. Carnal desires. Wishing to be free of Torah. Two separate laws. Torah keeping good. Doing what you want bad. )
I hope this will help you understand the problem with verse plucking. These verses need to be taken in context so that heresies such as the sin doctrine,or the abolishment of Torah as the measure if a sin free life take hold.
