Through a cup of coffee before it was light, this thought came to me.
Paul is famous for his scriptural foundation teaching, great one-liners, but also exploring both sides of a subject. He knows the answers and results, but in his days of lengthy handwritten letters he explores both sides of the question. A dichotomy?
Romans 7:15 (NKJV) For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.
He closes his thought like this.
Romans 7:24 (NKJV) O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
If you read both sides of his questioning you may say: 1) What? 2) He doesn’t understand. 3) He knows both sides and rebuts his conclusion well.
I know how important it is to understand the right way, but sometimes we must know how to reach a correct result by eliminating the opposite side of the equation.
That’s simple math. Complex it out and you may never reach a perfect solution.
Thank you for reading.
