1 | Do all those in Romans 1:18-20 hear? | Rom 10:17 | Robert Nicholson | 76480 | ||
Brother Searcher56: I believe we could say that those in Rom. 1:18-20 have been given a testimony of God seen in "the invisible things of him from the creation...". In verse 19 "Because that which may be know of God is evident among them; for God hath showed it to them". However, in verse 21-32 we see that they turned against the light which God gave them. First of all in v. 21 they gave up on God and then in v. 24 we read "wherefore God also gave them up". "they are without excuse" v.20 this would show us that God is righteous and shows that he does give them light from which they turn away. In John 1:9 we read of "the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world" In other words we are given light for which we are accountable. What do you thing? Peace in his name Robert |

Robert, I agree with this analysis. Do you think that Paul's words, "as God has allotted to each a measure of faith" (Rom 12:3) are applicable to this discussion? Good day. |

Disciplerami: Thanks It appears to me that Rom. 12:3 is primarily written to those who are in the church which is his body v.4. Would you think that the measure of faith refers to the diversities of gift which are interdependent on each other v.5 ? |

Robert, A measure of faith given to everyone is reason not to become conceited, is that correct? I think you might be right, but I'm still wrestling with it. I'm wondering if the 'measure of faith' is connected to having 'sound judgment.' Therefore, the Gentiles should not become arrogant toward others, because God in his wisdom saw fit to make Himself known to all. If the measure of faith refers to the gifts, then it isn't true that "God allotted to each" because Paul wanted to come to Rome that he might "impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established" (Romans 1:11). I guess the meaning turns on whether he means "each" as in all people, or "each" as in all who have a spiritual gift. Let me stop here. I'm not sure which way to go and I need to think more on it. If you have some thoughts on what I've written, feel free. Good day. |

Disciplerami: I enjoyed your thought on "measure of faith". I would agree that it refers to the "sound judgment" or wisdom given to each in order that they would keep in perspective what God has entrusted to them. Thanks for the thoughts Robert |
