Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Understanding the law through the Spirit
"Remember, the Law is Spiritual and can be understood ONLY by the Spirit."
Does the Law being "spiritual" mean that it is to be transferred by means of a spirit?
A spiritual mind then comes from and "ONLY by the Spirit" ?
RM 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
cd: Still how can the unrighteous become spiritual? Can a practicing Sodomite be spiritual?How about a Fornicator? For me the law , righteousness, and the spirit go together. (ie Realizing of course I am speaking of a mature Christian as the young are giving certain liberties till growth intercedes).To dabble in sin causes one to lose spiritual things-how much one loses is of course up to God and how far into sin that persons goes.

(ie.Commandments) has no effect on the spiritual. How can the unrighteous
be spiritual?Which box are we speaking of here? Thinking outside the bible
perhaps?
