Didn't Paul realize that he was a child of Light when he wrote Rom. 7: 20?

Rom 7:22-25 KJV For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: (23) But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. (24) O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? (25) I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

I ask: Didn't the SAINT called Paul know what you are telling me?

Romans 7-8 are all one conversation. In Romans 7 Paul describes his battle between his born again spirit and his fallen flesh. He is basically sharing his frustration about experiencing this intense struggle with sin and is looking for a way out of it. To him, it feels like it's overpowering his desire to live a holy life, “I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate” (7:15).
It's interesting, too, that there are even interpretations of Romans 7 that say Paul is describing his struggle with keeping the law when he was an unbeliever before he was born again. I don't agree with that view as Paul says in verse 6 that we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
So, what Paul is describing in Romans 7 is his struggle to serve in the new way of the Spirit and he wants a way out of that struggle and his old way in serving by following the written code is still in his mind and confusing him as well. He feels desperate.
He finds the way out of it! Romans 8 is a continuation of the very same conversation and Paul unpacks in Romans 8 his description of his life in the Spirit!
Now, here's the thing: whether or not one believes that Romans 7 is about Paul when he was an unbeliever or about Paul in the days after he first believed and was born again, the reality is Paul did NOT remain in that condition of defeat. He moved on from it and describes in Romans 8 his new life as walking in the Spirit. He matured spiritually. He received empowerment to walk in the light!
Ephesians 5:
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit[b] is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:
“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.” -

The Lord Jesus Christ, when He was about to give up His Spirit to the Father in heaven, cried out: It is "finished." What did He finish? Not His life but the "work" He came down from heaven to do. That work was to REDEEM all of mankind from an eternity in hell-fire! The will of the Father was that no one should perish and go to hell. The remedy was the Sacrificial DEATH of Jesus Christ by shedding His innocent Blood on a cross as was prophesied in the OT. 1 Cor. 15:3.
No sin anybody does is UNFORGIVABLE, except one, the sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. The Blood of Jesus Christ is amply sufficient to erase all confessed sins. That's why 1st John 1:9 is still valid and required. Use it in the Powerful Name of Jesus Christ while believing in the EFFICACY of it. (Apostle John introduced Jesus Christ by saying: Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world aka, all human beings).

Our SEALING by the H.S. is not for this life to ENABLE us to live without sin. If we could live with no sin why do we need an ADVOCATE to represent us (1st Jn. 2:1)? Here John was not "talking" to unbelievers. By using the word "WE" John included himself. V. 21 tells me that John was talking to those who KNOW Truth.

Again, no one says that a Child of God will not commit acts of sin in the flesh, but that is far different from one "BEING" a sinner. It appears that you do not believe that when we receive the Lord Jesus that we are transformed and become new creations (2 Cor 5:17). We are born again now, are partakers of eternal life now. This new life is experienced now in our spirit with the flesh awaiting a future event as described in God's Word.

Did the apostle Paul who wrote most of the NT, NOT understand 2 Cor.5:17 rightly? Of course he did because the H.S. used him to write the words. And yet, he wrote Rom. 7: 20, 23, and 24. under the inspiration of the H.S. He didn't say that he used to be or WAS a wretched man. He said I am a wretched man. Can I say less?

Did Paul write to the Saints in Corinth, Ephesus, Philippi or to the wretched men in those cities?
Again, you miss the key point of this. Are we changed or are we the same after we come to Christ. Is the child of God a new creation or old creation? Does God see you as a wretched man or does He see His child as His child who has been born of the Spirit of God?
Feel free to embrace your wretchedness, but I would encourage you to embrace what the Word proclaims about those who are born again. I repeat, you cannot be a sinner and a saint at the same time. If you are still viewed as a sinner you will not see the kingdom of heaven.
