Romans 7:1-12 ~ No longer do we serve in the old way



Romans 7:1-12


Good News Translation

Certainly you will understand what I am about to say, my friends, because all of you know about law. The law rules over people only as long as they live. 2 A married woman, for example, is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if he dies, then she is free from the law that bound her to him. 3 So then, if she lives with another man while her husband is alive, she will be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is legally a free woman and does not commit adultery if she marries another man.


4 That is how it is with you, my friends.
As far as the Law is concerned, you also have died because you are part of the body of Christ; and now you belong to him who was raised from death in order that we might be useful in the service of God. 5 For when we lived according to our human nature, the sinful desires stirred up by the Law were at work in our bodies, and all we did ended in death. 6 Now, however, we are free from the Law, because we died to that which once held us prisoners. No longer do we serve in the old way of a written law, but in the new way of the Spirit.

7 Shall we say, then, that the Law itself is sinful? Of course not! 
But it was the Law that made me know what sin is. If the Law had not said, “Do not desire what belongs to someone else,” I would not have known such a desire. 8 But by means of that commandment sin found its chance to stir up all kinds of selfish desires in me. Apart from law, sin is a dead thing. 9 I myself was once alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life, 10 and I died. And the commandment which was meant to bring life, in my case brought death. 11 Sin found its chance, and by means of the commandment it deceived me and killed me.

12 So then, the Law itself is holy, and the commandment is holy, right, and good.




How do we get from God's Love to the Law teaching on marriage? Jesus didn't seem to preach as Paul preached.

Moses wanted this: Found in Psalm 90

A heart of wisdom.
O Lord! Have pity on your servants!
Steadfast love,
rejoice and be glad all our days

15 Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
and for as many years as we have seen evil.
16 Let your work be shown to your servants,

Your glorious power to our children.

Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us,
and establish the work of our hands upon us;
yes, establish the work of our hands!

Evidently, Moses thought about marriage too. 
Moses sent his two sons and his wife away from the Exodus, to focus on His Work.


And Moses welcomed his family - back!
Interestingly, Moses had help from his father-in-law to create Healing.

The Scriptures are Real.








Jesus during the years women were property - definitely had thoughts on marriage and said heart-hearted men casually divorce their wives by saying, "I divorce you", 3 times. Easy as pie. Jesus said if this is you and your idea of getting married - then it's far better to Never marry. And, of course, the Disciples said, "Yes, Lord." Being the robed, old, dusty, nonsense Virgins, non-essential saints they were. Which, of course, is entirely Fake.

When Jesus told His Disciples not to get married, instead of divorced - they raised their voices (I think) and said, "WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO IF YOU DON"T WANT US TO GET MARRIED!" Evidently, being married was important to Peter. First Pope of the Church of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 19
8 Jesus said, "Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning, it was not so"

10 The disciples said to him, “If such is the case of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”

11 But he said to them, “Not everyone can receive this saying, but only those to whom it is given. 12 For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”

Paul was known to get fussed about being unmarried.

1 Corinthians 9
3 This is my defense to those who would examine me. 4 Do we not have the right to eat and drink? 5 Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, 
as do the other apostles
and the brothers of the Lord 
and Cephas?


GOD'S WORD® Translation
In the same way, brothers and sisters, you have died to the laws in Moses' Teachings through Christ's body. You belong to someone else, Jesus, the One who was brought back to life. As a result, we can do what God wants.



Sin can be temporary.
Salvation is Eternal.

Jesus didn't seem to preach as Paul preached. 
One United States, huge denomination of 14 Million Congregants is now under 700,000 members. This is not an old timey, fond issue.
This is the Word of God Jesus Gives.


Jesus is the Exact Nature of God Himself.
And Jesus fought for the woman caught in Adultery as no one else did.

So why is marriage under discussion? Jesus said to know the Scripture is to Know the Power of God. Make no mistake.

Paul wrote about marriage because the Roman Empire was so interested in marriage - their Laws were all over. Antiquated.



Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus (23 September 63 BC – 19 August AD 14) is considered the first emperor of the Roman Empire, which he ruled alone from 27 BC until his death in AD 14.

Paul wrote the Epistle to the Romans somewhere between 51-57 AD. Historically this is about as close as horseshoes and hand grenades. Close.

Augustus was a tidy man, someone who wanted to be a Caesar beyond reproach and his wife, Caesar's wife (whom he proposed to while she was married and pregnant with her other husband's child), as well. Romans had been allowed to marry in different forms and it was all pretty much live and let live as far as marriage went. Augustus decided it needed to be .... Defined and Legal.

1. Confarreatio (divorce almost unheard of)was a traditional patrician form of marriage. Divorce for confarreatio marriages, diffarreatio, was a difficult process and therefore rare. A special type of sacrifice that caused the dissolution of the relationship between the man and woman. She would then pass back into her father's home or family. Originally, the confarreatio was indissoluble. The wife leaves her family and becomes her husband's family, or property = cum manu. Later, divorce was easier the dowry returned with the wife.

2. Coemptio (slavery/service) was in essence a sale of the woman to the husband. Coemptio occurred at any time throughout marriage. This was a process of mancipation (slavery/service). The transaction occurred with a scales-holder and in the presence of at least five witnesses, adult male Roman citizens. Coemptio could occur not only with a husband but also with an outsider. However, this process is deemed for the “sake of trust” not for the “sake of marriage.” Coemptio was only a convenient legal practice. If a wife became cum manu through the process of coemptio divorced, then she became emancipated. By the 2nd century AD, a wife was able to compel her husband to emancipate her, a right not shared by her children.

3. Usus (living together, owned by husband) Cum Manu acquired by usus was simply the cohabitation of the husband and wife for the duration of a year. After a year passed the wife was transferred into the ownership of her partner, she was considered taken by the decree of yearly possession. This process required no ceremonial practices. If the woman was not willing to come into ownership of her husband, manus by usus was easily preventable. As conditioned in the Twelve Tables if the wife absented herself for the total of three days and three nights before the end of the year, each year, the marriage was not cum manu, and she was not under the ownership of her husband. If a woman married cum manu through the process of usus divorced then, she became Emancipated. Subsequently, the law of usus was dissolved by legal enactments presumably because it fell out of use..... so Do Not Spend Your Anniversary Together at all costs....

4. Sine Manu (living together, owned by father instead of husband) the wife legally and ritually remained a member of her father's family, standing under the control of her father's potestas. The bride is not under control of the husband. This form of marriage held no ceremonial formalities led by a public official. Ultimately it involved a husband and wife living together under the intention of a marriage, in conjunction with the legal capacity of marriage under Roman law. Although no official ceremony was held, it was customary for the bride to be escorted to her bridegroom's house. The children of this union were legally members of the husband’s agnatic kin.

Women faced with the loss of property when entering a cum manu marriage began to only consent to sine manu (father's family property) unions (similar to living together, today, to avoid prenuptial agreements and financial wedding issues.)



So, Augustus was trying to put marriage together better for inheritance when he created these types of marriages, legally. They had been used for centuries. 

When we read the last paragraph in brown, Augustus' goal was promoting self and not promoting a couple living as one person.


Summary:

Regular married, married to a slave, married to under-age slave child, no property exchanged to the step-children. Now, what they didn't have is what Sharia Islamic law grants for 30 minutes for being married temporarily to a Prostitute. And that's part of a terrible today law.




Why did The Word of God demand Love and speak of sin and then say be free?

A few years back, a friend of ours is an Airline Pilot and in his spare time - he works with a Church (we don't belong to). A Fine, Good, Honest Church of God in a Major Denomination. What astonishes him is the parking lot, afterward, gets rude and the people are upset after a good service. They have been shown, as newbies, they have baggage. And they get Upset.




Jesus never, ever said, "Hey you, get to the back." 


Jesus said, You Are a New Creation in Jesus Christ. Jesus did not use guilt as a handle on people. Jesus didn't say - hey, remember back then. Jesus instead says He wants to Save the world with His Love. His Sacrifice. His Abundant Life.



1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another, for love comes from God.
Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.



Colossians 3:12
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved,
clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.




Jesus trusts us.
Jesus sees us for what we have in us.
The Indwelling of God's Holy Spirit.

"Jesus, I need you. Live in me, today and always.
Thank You, you see all of me and love me."
Amen.














The Holy Spirit has another Purpose. Just as we don't use Guilt, we do not use the attempt to make others less to speak of God's Love.

Certainly you will understand what I am about to say, my friends, because all of you know

in the new way of the Spirit.

 is holy, right, and good.


Paul is interesting, he has a difficult message to proclaim. Romans were very, very fussed about marriage at the time. Paul understands the New Covenant says the Holy Spirit no longer just hovers over the waters - the Holy Spirit lives in us.

Romans 1

Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh 4 and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, 5 through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, 6 including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.

11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— 12 that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.













Abba, Holy Father, Almighty God,

From the Beginning,
Just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses
and Ministers of the Word have delivered the Word to us.

And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this?

This was before the New Covenant.

For you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways,
to give knowledge of salvation to his people
in the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high
to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the way of peace. 


“Fear not, for behold,
I bring you good news of great joy 
that will be 
for all the people."

From the Beginning.

Father God, Abba,


Let us Pray to Seek You, Find You in Jesus Christ.

The Glory of Your Heaven on earth..


The Wonders and Mercies of God Prevail. For the USA and other nations to find the unity of Peace and Justice for all.



We are People with the Help of Jesus,

we can make

Strength.
Praying the Victory!

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
