Romans Chapter 2 Discussion Page 3

Pastor Dan, Im sure you will agree that its more important to take to Heart what God tells us than what Secular
Scientists do, many have been in error. 1Timothy4 Now the Spirit Speaketh Expressly that in the Latter times some shall depart from the Faith giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils Speaking lies in hypocrisy having their Conscience seared with a hot iron Forbidding to Marry and Commanding to abstain from Meats which God hath Created to be Received with Thanksgiving of them which Believe and know the Truth. For every Creature of God is Good and Nothing to be Refused if it be Received with Thanksgiving. For it is Sanctified by the Word of God and Prayer.

Thank you Adam as I read the Comments yours was one of the Scriptures God gave me the other one was 1Timothy4 which Confirms what you shared Woman cant Preach or Teach to Men in Authority in Church etc but we can share Gods Truth and Correct error but not what we think unless its Confirmed as Gods Truth in Scripture or Creation Many Times in my Ministries to Woman and Children over the last 35 years I have been very Blessed and I have also been Thankful to Men like you who Love the Lord and His Children all ages which I have also found with other Men on this Website and I very much appreciate too the Godly Woman here who also seek to Share Gods Truth so others can be Uplifted and Encouraged.

It depends on the hoofs

Which scientists say pork is unhealthy? There isn't any scientific consensus on this as anyone can search 'pork health benefits' and find plenty of information. Romans 14:1-23

Both are wrong, you with gladness and thankfulness and pork remains unclean even scientists will tell you that...it is unhealthy for you...

All i can say is amen!

I have enough of my own sins to repent for and work hard to improve myself without spending time thinking about others. Sure, I witness every time I can about following Jesus Christ and how He has helped me to be see the error of my ways. But, I refuse to let the path of others sway me from the way which I believe to be the best for my soul.

There is a difference between judging and warning the wicked from their weakness and sin. We are sanctified by the word of GOD, therefore we may show the word of GOD with love and charity.

I think this is a hard chapter from a Christian point of view. We do tend to judge liars for example when we ourselves have lied or committed other sins. How do we combat our own past actions when we watch people of power, no conscience, lie their very heads off. Because I am small and insignificant, does that make my lie less compared to monstrous lies from people in power.

Have mercy Lord. We are going to be judged by the gospel of Jesus Christ. Live like Christ so that we can reach the mark of this high calling.

If you are going to be a Bible thumper you better walk your talk.

Verse 21~Words are powerful but we must make sure that our example matches our words.

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Ephesians 4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

Not Asking Foolish Questions would be a Good Place to Start. We're to Build Up The Body of Christ. You Can Not do God Any Favors. A Statement or Thought of Such is Sin. God is Spelled With 3 Letters. We are in The End Times. Call on The Lord While It's Day.

you can eat a ham sandwich with sincere gratitude, or you can eat a lamb kebob and act like you're doing G-D a favor..you tell me which is better!

romans 1-3 is serious talk abt us,as a whole[ if, we can only understand the depths of it meaning and work, our way through its. " Especially'' the 6,7,8 chap is, An eye opening for understanding; Our Salvation and the freedom in, Jesus Christ. Amen!

there is nothing hidden from God, we are all sinners and until we receive Christ, we then see openly our sinful ways, and how much we hate those things we fell into by our own self,you cannot preach to another if you don't follow what you preach, that is dishonoring the word of God, never say your entitled because God said so, did he? He gave his only son for us all, stay humble, Pray daily GB

I love how Paul clearly states that all men are equal, that circumcision of the flesh means nothing because no man is righteous "no not one." A true Jew, which means true Israel is only those circumcised of the heart through and by the Holy Spirit.

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.

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!

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.
