63 | Translation | Rom 1:1 | djconklin | 28457 | ||
"I would encourage you to keep your eyes on Jesus" We shhould always do that. My concern is that if we make the Bible say what we want it to say rather than letting God's Word to us speak for itself then we have in effect created our own false religion and are worshipping a false God which cannot save us. |

64 | Translation | Rom 1:1 | djconklin | 28461 | ||
I agree with you Tim as to why most translations have skirted the issue. We forget that the slavery of the Biblical days was nowhere near as atrocious as that which was practiced in the American South. | ||||||
65 | sermon snippet | Rom 1:1 | djconklin | 28697 | ||
A snippet from my sermon on Romans: "Above all else, Paul saw himself as a servant of the Lord."(1) The "key to Paul's self-image is servanthood. At the root of his psyche this incredibly productive man views himself primarily as a slave to Christ. [Likewise, no] matter who we are ... if we are to be productive for God, we [too] must [see ourselves as Christ's] servants [first and foremost, like Paul did]."(2) By calling himself a "slave of Christ Jesus" Paul is emphasizing how totally he belonged and submitted to Christ.(3) For Paul "regarded himself as the purchased possession of his Lord and Master. What Paul is trying to get his readers to understand is "the completeness of his commitment to Christ."(4) [Yet there is no suggestion of] serfdom or servility [in all of this.]"(5) And there is no need for that idea. In Paul's day if an official of the King, or Emperor, went to some distant province to declare the King's will he would be called an apostle (i.e. "one who is sent by authority with a commission.").(6) That servant then would be treated with dignity and honor as tho' he was the King himself. Martin Luther pointed out that "if it is ... disastrous to deny to the servants of an emperor honor and respect, what will happen to those who do not receive with due honor the servants of God!"(7) So, we can see why there "was nothing nobler to ... Paul than to be a slave of the Lord Jesus."(8) We will see even more reasons why as we go along. 1) Boice, 25 2) Hughes, 17 3) Cranfield, 1:50; Fitzmyer, 231 4) Interpreter's, 380; Murray, 2 5) Thomas, 38 6) Wiersbe, 1:514 7) Luther, 31 8) Thomas, 39. |

67 | How is Christ the end of the law? | Rom 10:4 | djconklin | 28631 | ||
Good point Nolan. In addition we might note that love also fulfills the law. So, if we have the love of Christ within us we wouldn't do anything that would violate the law. This verse is quite interesing for to undetstand it we need to look at three crucial things and what they mean: telos (end), nomos (law) and finally the context of this passage (immediate, larger and historical). Luckily, there's source on the wbe that has simplified our work for us: http://www.graceandknowledge.beliefnet.com/telos.html. Here's a small part: "Fortunately, all three types of information about Romans 10:4 are available in the book Christ the End of the Law: Romans10.4 in Pauline Perspective (JSOT Press, Sheffield, England, 1985), the doctoral dissertation of Robert Badenas, an evangelical New Testament scholar. In this article, I will summarize Badenas findings, which present a clear resolution to our question about the meaning of the phrase "Christ is the end of the law."" |

68 | How is Christ the end of the law? | Rom 10:4 | djconklin | 28633 | ||
"This is why we can be accepted by God, not by what have done or can do, but by what Jesus did, and enter that by faith." Well said! That's why Paul cited Hab. 2:4 in Rom. 1:17. |

69 | Ten Commandments obsolete? | Rom 10:4 | djconklin | 28641 | ||
I can't see the original post but from what is cited here this (lloking for a command) seems to be a rather legalistic approach. | ||||||
70 | Ten Commandments obsolete? | Rom 10:4 | djconklin | 28642 | ||
Good points kalos! They were partly right in the 60's when they said that love is the answer--they just weren't looking at the source! |

71 | Paul's intrepretative method | Rom 10:16 | djconklin | 28700 | ||
From this verse through 11:16 Paul uses a number of OT texts to make the case for Israel's unbelief in Jesus. At first glance Paul seems to ignore the context of those verses. However given his Christological perpsective his intrepretations are quite reasonable. These verses are a good test case to study Paul's interpretaive methods. Here's a study that looks at it closely: http://www.balboa-software.com/hahne/Rom10-11Citations.pdf | ||||||

wdc, I think that praying, seeking and studying are very good methods of understanding the Bible. |

This is an excellant example of where it is imperative to re-read the text after reading some commentator. Paul is not talking about "eating one kind of food, and abstaining from another"; the verse explicitly says "concerning the food of the idol sacrifices". | ||||||
