Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: Hello Vintage, I believe your answers can be found in the first 3 chapters of Romans. Rom. 1:18-3:23 details the doctrine of condemnation. Romans is sometimes- and rightly- referred to as the "Theology of the NT". A proper understanding of it's doctrines is key to our rightly understanding the message of scripture!
