Bible Note: Joe I see where were heading down that same long dark road. I do not care to wander there. Before I disembark let me just offer a few things to think about. I said we don’t fully understand god’s mercy, love, grace, and justice. You attempted to answer that by saying scripture tells you about sin. These are opposites they do not explain each other they contrast each other. While we can completely understand sin we can be very much in the dark in regards to grace. That is not an answer to my statement. Also do not read into my statement I made no attempt to say God provided another means of salvation outside Jesus Christ Romans 2:14-15 For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15in that they show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, Joe you asked what the message of Roman 1and 2 was. It is saying people are without excuse for not having faith that God would provide a payment for their sin. Romans 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "But the righteous man shall live by faith." You questioned my statement, “"What we do know is God has spoken to us, through the preaching of Jesus therefore we are without excuse." Let me say this way then Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. EdB |
