In the epistle to the Romans in Chapter 7 after paul scribes the battle between the natural man of body and soul

and the law of God after the inward man Christ, he says O, wretched man that I am who shall deliver me from this body of death. In Roman times they took certain prisoners and depending on the crime to so to speak teach a lesson

would tie either on there back or face face and they would have to for a period of time walk around like this. Absolutely

horrifying that is a good description of when we are born again or old man nature bagan to die when we believed and started walking in the newness of the spirit that's why paul said when we walk by the spirit more of the old man nature

rots away because the spirit is energizing us with life.

Now on the other hand if a person who's born again gets tricked by the adversary and keep something in mind

what has actually occurred is over time little by little the person isn't reading the word daily, they don't pray much or at all

they don't ask God for help and before you know it they are no longer walking by the spirit the word but they believe

its O.K. there's the deception. I don't really have to do this, then they are back to there dead nature all 5 senses but you can't revive a dead body which is worse than if they didn't know the truth. A dog wallowing in its own vomit.
