Now you have to understand the difference between laws. You just changed the law of the Spirit of LIFE in Christ Jesus to the "Spirit's law". That isn't the way to get to the bottom of these matters, Jamie.

Strawman. Come back when you want to address the point about not being under the law. Lawless refers to actions, not a state of being.
Are you saying the law of the Spirit is not the Spirit's law?
Yes, Jesus lived by the law of the Spirit. The Spirit is our Father.
The Father expects us to conform to his law.
After they die have they then paid for their sins?

Well, you can certainly think whatever you like, but you'll have to do some serious scripture twisting to make it work out for you. As you've clearly done already here in this thread. :chew:

Does a serial killer who dies in the electric chair pay for his sins? You might want to check with the loved ones of those he killed before you answer that question.
Did you realize that being punished is not the same as paying off a debt? Does the debt suddenly get paid when a person is punished?
Questions - from jamie
Do you know the law of the Spirit? Can you recite it?
So when the serial killer dies are his sins wiped out? Does the killer have a clean slate?

There is nothing to recite. Paul is talking about LIFE IN CHRIST.
The law of sin and death is when you sin, you die.
The law of the Spirit of LIFE in Christ is when you believe, you have LIFE.
It's like the law of gravity. It's a fact....not something you can recite.

"It is appointed unto man to die and after that the judgment" Hebrews 9:27.
And after death he was paid the penalty for sin and now he is free of sin.
"No more shall an infant from there live but a few days,
Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days;
For the child shall die one hundred years old,
But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed."
(Isaiah 65:20)
That scripture is about the new heaven and the new earth that is in the future.
