1 | context of God's kindness in Rm 2-4 | Rom 2:4 | Xenoid | 121849 | ||
Considering the overall context and argument pattern of the Romans letter: Is Paul talking about God's "kindness" in the Old testament for Jews and/or God's ultimate kindness in the N.T. for all ??? My sense is that, in the context of the entire letter, it is exclusively the former agree? disagree? |

2 | context of God's kindness in Rm 2-4 | Rom 2:4 | JCrichton | 121874 | ||
"Considering the overall context and argument pattern of the Romans letter" Hi, Xenoid! If I understand you correctly "exclusively the former" would be ""kindness" in the Old testament"... I would have to disagree. Paul main argument is the Grace we receive in Christ. He emphasizes his ministry (Apostle to the gentiles), the righteousness gained through faith, the Power of Christ's incarnation, death and resurrection, the conflict that exists, in us, as the Holy Spirit battles the flesh, the Love of God, for us, in Christ, salvation for all, mercy for all, and life in God's service. Much of his argument is meant for us (and Christ's contemporaries, of course). He clarifies that the Jews have not been ignored by God--they have been allowed a period of disobedience so that we may be able to gain salvation... then, at the appointed time the two people will truly be one! God Bless! Angel |
