Quote The “human nature” resides in the mind alone and not in the flesh. In this passage Paul refers to two parts or locations within himself; his mind and his flesh.
Rom 7:25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind
, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.You say, “the human nature reside in the mind alone and not in the flesh.” Where does the divine nature in Paul, that desires to serve the law of God, reside if not in his mind?
Paul states it is with the flesh that he serves the law of sin. Strongs notes:
sarx
flesh (as stripped of the skin), that is, (strictly) the meat of an animal (as food), or (by extension) the body (as opposed to the soul (or spirit), or as the symbol of what is external, or as the means of kindred, or (by implication) human nature (with its frailties (physically or morally) and passions),
or (specifically) a human being (as such): – carnal (-ly, + -ly minded), flesh ([-ly]).You have twisted. The divine nature resides in the mind and the human nature resides in the flesh, just as Paul described it.
Blessings in your walk with the Lord,
