No it isn't. That is what he was addressing in Romans.
No he was not. You need to read it again.
As a Christian, Paul was not in bondage to sin.
As a Christian, Paul was not a prisoner of the law of sin and death.
Asa Christian Paul was not a wretched man asking who will set him free.
Paul is giving his testimony on how the Law led Him to Christ.
We all should be struggling against sin.
No, we should not. In fact, that is a repudiation of the gospel and Christ's sacrifice to do so.
"For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never by the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect those who draw near.
Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, because the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have had consciousness of sins?"
The sacrifices that the Law required could not make anyone perfect. The sacrifice of Jesus does. The sacrifice of Jesus is a better sacrifice, and those who worship Him, have been cleansed and are to have no more consciousness of sins. If they do, it is because they do not accept His sacrifice.
The sacrifies of the Law could never take away sin, but the sacrifice of Jesus does.
"By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified."
If we cease struggling then sin has won.
That is exactly the opposite of the truth. Jesus has already defeated sin through His ONCE for ALL sacrifice on the cross, just as He has death. You mind is set on the flesh, and that is why you are still sin conscious.
"For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so; and those who are in the flesh cannot please God."
Yet you deny that chemical imbalances are related to brain diseases. You also have stated that disorders like PTSD, for an example, don't count because there is no physiological manifestation. I say that your pompous attitude toward people who have been so emotionally damaged to where they lose control of their lives is the sin. God will judge their heart, yet he will similarly judge yours. Your time would be better served at this point dealing with your own bitterness and hatred than it is trying to do God's job for him. Most of us would rather help a wounded soldier get help and return to health. You seem satisfied just shooting him in the field.
Go to hell, Morpheus. You, and low life scum like you, are the ones who have sent millions of people to an early grave while profiting on their misery, with your quackery. I have God's mind on this matter, and have proven it by His word. You have the mind of Satan.
