Apparently you are not reading what I have said , I said the Law is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but when ever it flows through my flesh it kills me. Are we in unredeemed flesh bodies or not?
Did Christ come to kill the flesh and give us life in the Spirit?
John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

I never said I live as I see fit, ever, raqther I said as Paul said:
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
I am dead to this world and this world is dead to me, sorry you are not seeing this, b ut will if God permit, thank you for your care love to you and all

No you take that Chapter as literal, when it is much deeper. That writing from Paul was about the problem at that time. The problem was food and days. yet Paul said that he knew all things were and are clean of itself for God cleansed all through Son.
Seeing Spiritually not fleshly as most can't see past the flesh. Needing the Spirit of God to enlighten them, and be as Paul dead to flesh and alive to God in the Spirit where is the only way God is worshiped period, no other way
John 4:24 Love to you and all

No I am telling you by Christ's death at the cross we are to reckon self dead there with him Daily that daily we are back alive in the Spirit walking that way in new life daily
Phil 3:10-11, but read it all in context please
and also
Acts 17:28 for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring
We are dead to self and alive to God by trusting God to do this as has done through Son past tense before you and I were ever born

[SUP]8 [/SUP]and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Those seeking to do their own will, apart from God's will, can never please God. All the knowledge in the world cannot please God, rather obedience is what He wants. He is our King, and we are under His rule.
[h=3]Hebrews 10:7
[/h]English Standard Version (ESV)
[SUP]7 [/SUP]Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”

Verses 12-16 explains a conclusion drawn from 1-11. Faith is "proactive" and involves obligation on our part. (James 2:17-26). As believers, we are to continually and actively (through the power of the Holy Spirit) "put to death" our Yetzer Hara (evil inclination) and not let it rule us (re: 6:12,13,19; 7:5,23.) Yahshua Himself said we had to be prepared to "take up our cross every day" (Luke9:23).[SUP]
12 [/SUP]So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— [SUP]13 [/SUP]for if you are living according to the flesh, you [SUP][f][/SUP]must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Paul says that "through the Spirit" WE do this, a dual role of the work of the Spirit and the work of the believer himself, a continual work.
To "live" means to be adopted as a son of God and to live eternally (i.e., "to be saved"). If we are trusting in God, we have this salvation in the present, but its full realization or benefit comes later. We live as sons and not slaves, serving God out of love (the positive commandments without condemnation) and not fear (the negative commandments, with condemnation)
[h=3]The Lord Is My Light and My Salvation[/h][h=4]Of David.[/h]27 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold[SUP][a][/SUP] of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?
