"I have a question, first let me tell you about my understanding of this issue as an SDA, we know that when Jesus comes the promise of John 14:1-3 will be fulfilled as Jesus will take us to heaven to where His Father is, and there we will spend 1000 years and saints will participate in Judgement and after 1000 years is expired Jesus and redeem with the holy city will descend to earth and at that moment the second resurrection will take place and wicked of all ages will surround the holy city and fire will fall down from heaven and will devour sinners and after those sinners are destroyed according to their works done to the body, ultimately God will create the new heaven and new earth where the righteous will dwell where no sin is present, with new Jerusalem as a capital city of the universe. But in Isaiah 65:20 it seems like they're going to be death and curse, while on new earth those things will never be present according to Revelation 21:3-4, and Revelation 22:3. In Isaiah 65:20, Bible seems to explain this in the context of the new earth, so what is your thought on this as a theologian?"

In Romans 7:14-25, Paul says that he sold under sin. He says that he is willing to do good in his mind but finds another law that is against his will. He then says that the wrong that he does that he is unwilling to do, it is not him who is doing it but the sin that dwells in him. Then in verse 24 he cries laments because of his weakness. in verse 25 he thanks God for the deliverance =, but now he says "So then, with the mind, I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin." What does he mean by that? How does he serve the law of God and the law of sin simultaneously? Please help.
