Discuss Romans 2 Page 10

Only those Born-again, Washed by The Blood of The Lamb, Elected Before The Foundation of The World --- Ali Pre has Posted it for Us. It's not a Worldly Bloodline It's Spiritual. Read Romans Chapter 11, Galatians 3:21-29: We are All One in Christ/ He is a Jew which is One Inwardly and Circumcision is that of The Heart( Romans 2:28-29/ Whosoever is not Found in The Book of Life( Revelation 20:15

It seems that law. man's law is flawed in many ways. unless God be in it. I know God's law is perfect. I'm still trying to make sense of it all. I know I can sin without trying. it looks like too judge is as sinful as the sinner. I'll stay in his word it gives me peace. shine's a light on it. better to come out of the darkness than a closet.

He is a Jew, which is One Inwardly; and Circumcision is that of The Heart, in The Spirit, and not in The Letter; Whose Praise is not of men, But of God. Romans 2:29

Romans 2:28-29 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly*; neither is that circumcision, which is outward* in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly*; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

How many time during the time of the day we break. The jaw with out think about it but are God grace will forgive us. And we need to learn to forgive others that have done wrong. The hardest thing forgetting people that done us wrong

Verse 29~Paul was saying they are all of the anointed so they are all Jews. They were all spiritual Israelites. Paul was completely breaking down the barriers. Unity is the theme of Romans.

Kieran88; "For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written." I think you got it right. More broadly; Jesus said in Matthew 5:3-12, that we who are called to be His Blessed Elect, that show forth the nature of our Father in heaven through the contradictions and temptations of this evil world, are His light in the world and the salt which keeps it from rotting.

2:24 is this saying that the Jews wasn't sometimes following the law being hypocrites so the gentiles sometimes was not taking God or the Jews seriously. like in the ten commandments do not use Lords name in vain. or am i missing the point?

Verses 14,15~People in the world have a conscience. That is why everywhere you go it is wrong to kill, steal, lie, and etc. Everyone has a conscience, but some choose to ignore their conscience.

Howdy all. Regarding Rom. 2:13 and contemporary interpretations of that statement. The law Paul is referencing is not the OT written code. The law has been changed Heb. 7:12, and it is the change he is referencing. Therefore any soteriological allegation which proposes that it is unnecessary to obey a law in order to be declared righteous by God is a falsehood.

I am blessed by the whole book of Romans.

"For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified." Love is not 'lip-service' and faith is not 'stage playing' or 'misrepresenting one's true nature, behavior or motives.' Keeping the Word does not mean forgetting it, and whatever it showed you about yourself, as soon as you put down your Bible and get busy with other things! Obedience ABIDES in Him!

Verse 29 explains the chapter as it pertains to the works of the flesh!

In reference to what YACHANAN said:
Romans 2:28,29
READ IT

In Romans 2:12, 13 Apostle Paul, referring to the moral laws, says: For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but THE DOERS OF THE LAW SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. Comment: The 10 Commandments were never nailed to the cross, or abolished, they must be obeyed.

A Disciple, Paul calls it "my gospel" Romans 2:16.

Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself for thou that judgest doest the same things. This is proof that Christians do sin and need cleansing by the Word.

This chapter does not say that we are all arrogant hypocrites; but it does most effectively penetrate to the innermost thoughts and intents of our hearts, that we work so hard to hide from others, but God knows. Resting in one's being a Jew, or belonging to such and such Church, or anything whereby we might think we're better than our neighbor doesn't release us, but makes us the more accountable.

Verses 21 through 24 shows that there is a danger that the ones who are supposed to be teaching may be the very one with hypocritical actions.

Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God, Paul was not of shame of it. All we have to do is believe it.

There is not a 16th, of any month that goes by, when I do not remember that Almighty God, on this day, interceded for me specifically, to "maintain my lot" in this world. I will never forget he saved me and loves me, though I am an unworthy sinner, he is faithful to his word and work. " knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentence?" Romans 2:4

Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel paul said my gospel. That means ,Pual follow Jesus and we follow for our Apostle today, Amen. I speak to all that want to know the truth in the Word.

It is what in the heart that counts

We need to look to God for our salvation. Abraham took God at his Word when He said take your son and sacrifice him and it was counted for righteousness to Abraham. Jesus told us to go and spread the gospel and I have given you the power. In Daniel there was four in the fire not three. Do we not know who we are in Jesus Christ. Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit to be in us and how can we doubt.

We should true live by what the The Holy Bible tells us

Adding to disciples comment "neglecting to judge self"; To examine/judge ourselves daily using God's standard, shows prudence; the practice of good judgment and the ability to self-discipline. And, watchful not to live in hypocrisy. Aren't we suppose to remove the log in our own eye, before we try to remove the log in our brother's eye.

To the question of whether we are all created equal; we have to consider, in what sense? In that we all have a spirit, soul and body? Yes. in that we all are made in the image of God? yes. In that we are indeed ALL created? Yes. In that we all have a moral capacity to choose good or evil, to hear the word of truth or to not hear? Yes. "For who makes you to differ from another?"

Acts 17:26 "hath made of one blood all nations" Psalm 33:15 "He fashions their hearts alike; he considers all their works." Matthew 23:8 "But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren." Rev. 5:4 "And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon." Acts 14:15 "We also are men of like passions with you,"

"And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?" Knowing the Word and being able to quote the Word, and actually being one in whom the Word lives and breathes, can be two different things, when someone thinks that there condemnation of others is justified "because it's Scriptural," but neglecting to judge self!

Romans 2:21-22 Reminds me of the old phrase "Practice what you preach". Don't be a hypocrite and tell some one to stop smoking and continue in your own addictions which demonstrates lack of self control.
