Does Paul write experientially or salvation historically?
For instance, perusing through a fairly new Romans commentary, the terms 'flesh,' 'old/new man,' 'body of sin,' etc. are not meant to be taken experientially and individually but salvation/redemptive historically and corporately similar to Romans 5. eg. The church was baptized and died to sin at the moment of Christ's death in Romans 6, body of sin and old self relates to age before Christ, etc. Yet, couldn't all be said that what is true for the whole is what's true for the individual?
