In this portion I will keep using the Hebrew names for continuity.
We get to a verse now that is largely taken out of context. I don?t
know if you?ve heard it but it goes something like ?A person who
doesn?t believe God can?t personally believe God and can?t even please
God because they are in the flesh. They are carnal and the carnal mind
is hostile toward God for it does not subject itself to the Law of God
(Rom 8:8).? Thing is, Sha?ul is still defending God?s righteousness in
the believer?s mind and is currently dealing with the death wrought by
sin through the power of the Law versus the newness of life found in
the Spirit. The carnality spoken of here is still in context of that
which is wrought through the law, which pertains to the flesh.
