In July of last year, Afghan diplomat Mohammad Yama Aini allegedly bashed his wife so badly that she ended up in a New York hospital. No arrest

In January that same year a Sudanese diplomat Abdalla Ali, was busted for sexually harrassing a female passenger on a New York train — in full view of transit cops — but faced zero consequences.

Diplomatic immunity, part of an international treaty dating to the 1960s, means diplomats can’t be arrested or sued in their host country — no matter what they do. “They can literally get away with murder,” said Peter Spiro, a professor of international law at Temple University.

German diplomat Joachim Haubrichs got away with punching his wife in October 2016.
He became enraged because she was speaking on the phone after 7:30 p.m. “He hits her real hard. He’s broken a bunch of her bones in her face”, according to a neighbor. Again, no arrest.

The Apostle Paul wrote that.”the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.”

We cannot reform the carnal mind, we can’t “christianize” the carnal mind. We cannot make our carnal mind behave. It is not subject to God’s laws. It has diplomatic immunity. Our self will grants us immunity from the Kingdom of God, but it also denies us citizenship in Heaven and the joy of being called joint-heirs with Christ for eternity.

“To be carnally minded is death,” Paul wrote, “But to be spiritually minded is life and peace”.
