Do you have any ‘rights’ for the Old Adam or Old Eve that I forgot to add?

The Old Adam Lives! 
You left out: We have the right to create rights out of our perceived and felt needs.
Spot on Steve!
Would that people knew you were being sarcastic. But it is so true, painfully true. And we can all see ourselves in there if we are honest with ourselves. Admitting it is the first step to recovery I suppose. A step we can’t take with out the Holy Spirit convicting us.
Pastor Mark,
” We have the right to create rights out of our perceived and felt needs.”
That one should probably be at the top of the list!
Thanks Pastor, see you on Sunday-
Steve
Bror,
Like you said, Bror, the first step is recognizing the problem. The Holy Spirit won’t grant us those self percieved rights and needs, but He will crush us with His law and then open our ears, hearts and minds to the gospel, by the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus.
Thanks Bror.
Steve
