Is the law you speak of Carnal or spiritual?
Romans 7:14-25 | 14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin: 15because I wot not what I do. For what I would, that do I not: but what I hate, that do I. 16If I do now that which I would not, I grant to the law that it is good. 17So then now it is not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18For I know that in me (that is to say in my flesh) dwelleth no good thing. To will is present with me: but I find no means to perform that which is good. 19For I do not that good thing which I would: but that evil do I, which I would not. 20Finally, if I do that I would not, then is it not I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me doeth it. 21I find then by the law that when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22I delight in the law of God, as concerning the inner man. 23But I see another law in my members rebelling against the law of my mind, and subduing me unto the law of sin, which is in my members. 24O wretched man that I am: who shall deliver me from this body of death? 25I thank God by Jesus Christ our Lord: So then I myself in my mind serve the law of God, and in my flesh the law of sin. |
Romans 8:1-9 | 1There is then no damnation to them which are in Christ Jesu, which walk not after the flesh: but after the spirit. 2For the law of the spirit, wherein is life thorow Jesus Christ hath delivered me from the law of sin, and death. 3For what the law could not do inasmuch as it was weak because of the flesh: that performed God, and sent his son in the similitude of sinful flesh, and by sin damned sin in the flesh: 4that the righteousness required of the law, might be fulfilled in us, which walk not after the flesh: but after the spirit. 5For they that are carnal, are carnally minded; and they that are spiritual are ghostly minded. 6To be carnally minded is death; and to be spiritually minded is life, and peace: 7because that the fleshly mind is enmity against God: For it is not obedient to the law of God, neither can be. 8So then they that are given to the flesh, cannot please God. 9But ye are not given to the flesh; But to the spirit: If so be that the spirit of God dwell in you. If there be any man that hath not the spirit of Christ, the same is none of his. |
And believer or not, you have absolutely no right to judge president Lincoln seeing that God had ordained him as an authority.
Ephesians 4:26-28 | 26Be angry, but sin not: let not the son go down upon your wrath, 27give no place unto the backbiter, 28let him that stole steal no more, but let him rather labour with his hands some good thing, that he may have to give unto him that needeth. |
Quote: | 1Co 4:2 Furthermore it is required of the disposers <|stewards|> that they be found faithful.
1Co 4:3 With me is it but a very small thing, that I should be judged of you, either of man's day. No I judge not mine own self.
1Co 4:4 I know nought by myself: yet am I not thereby justified. It is the Lord that judgeth me.
1Co 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, which will lighten things that are hid in darkness: and open the counsels of the hearts. And then shall every man have praise of God. |
Romans 13:1-9 | 1Let every soul submit himself unto the authority of the higher powers. There is no power but of God. The powers that be, are ordained of God. 2Whosoever therefore resisteth power, resisteth the ordinance of God. They that resist, shall receive to themselves damnation. 3For rulers are not to be feared for good works but for evil. Wilt thou be without fear of the power? Do well then: and so shalt thou be praised of the same. 4For he is the minister of God, for thy wealth. But and if thou do evil, then fear: for he beareth not a sword for nought; for he is the minister of God, to take vengeance on them that do evil. 5Wherefore ye must needs obey, not for fear of vengeance only: but also because of conscience. 6 Even for this cause pay ye tribute. For they are God's ministers, serving for the same purpose. 7Give to every man therefore his duty: Tribute to whom tribute belongeth: Custom to whom custom is due: fear to whom fear belongeth: Honour to whom honour pertaineth. 8Owe no thing to any man: but to love one another. For he that loveth another, fulfilleth the law. 9For these commandments: Thou shalt not commit advoutry: Thou shalt not kill: Thou shalt not steal: Thou shalt not bear false witness: Thou shalt not desire: and so forth if there be any other commandment, are all comprehended in this saying: Love thine neighbor as thyself. |
Romans 11:32-36 | 32God hath wrapped all nations in unbelief, that he might have mercy on all. 33O the deepness of the abundant wisdom and knowledge off God: how incomprehensible are his judgements, and his ways unsearchable. 34For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who was his counsellor? 35other who hath given unto him first, that he might be recompensed again? 36For of him, and thorow him, and unto him are all things. To him be glory forever Amen. |

Ro 9:11 yer the children were born, when they had neither done good neither bad (that the purpose of God which is by election, might stand) it was said unto her, not by the reason <|deserving|> of works, but by grace of the caller,
Ro 9:12 the elder shall serve the younger. <|The greater shall serve the less|>
Ro 9:13 As it is written: Jacob he loved, but Esau he hated.
Ro 9:14 What shall we say then? is there any unrighteousness with God? God forbid!
Ro 9:15 For he saith to Moses: I will shew mercy to whom I shew mercy: And will have compassion on whom I have compassion.
Ro 9:16 So lieth it not then in a man's will, or running, <cunning> but in the mercy of God. |
