1 | Who is included in the promise? | Rom 4:16 | sheckey | 119791 | ||
I'm having a bit of trouble harmonizing this verse with verse 14. In 14, it clearly states, "For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified." This, in effect, is stating that those who are of the law cannot be heirs to the promise. However, here in verse 16 it states, "so that the promise will be guaranteed to all the descendants, not only to those who are of the Law" thereby including the descendants "of the Law" in the promise. I am aware that heirs and descendants are different both in English as well as in the original Greek. Verse 16 still seems to be including individuals "of the Law" in the promise which seemingly not only contradicts verse 14 but the rest of Romans as well. Thanks for the help, BOC James |

2 | Still wondering about Isreal | Rom 9:10 | sheckey | 113234 | ||
Allow me then to be more precise in my question. Where, in the NT, or better yet, in Paul's teaching on Isreal, does he (Paul) make a distinction between "Physical" Isreal and "Spiritual" Isreal? | ||||||
3 | Then why "Isreal" | Rom 9:10 | sheckey | 113215 | ||
Then why would you call physical Isreal "Isreal" at all? | ||||||
4 | "Spiritual" Isreal? | Rom 9:10 | sheckey | 113202 | ||
Quote, "Thus, proving Paul’s point that simply being a physical descendant of Abraham does not make you a part of the spiritual Israel." Textually, how do you draw a distinction here between what you are calling "spiritual" Isreal and "True" Isreal? |
