Bible Question (short): By What Law |
Question (full): 1.) Using both New, and Old Test. understandings, How were the Gentiles, deemed to be sinners? 2.) Were not the Jews' as a people, no different than the gentiles, until they received the law by Moses? Romans 7:7-9 7.) What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 8.) But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 9.) For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. The Jews' having been called out by God to be separate unto Him, gave unto them the law. 3.) So then by what law were the gentiles held to be sinners? Was it only by the law of sin, and death, having been passed down from Adam? Vintage68 |
