Subject: Abraham OUR forefather accordingto FAITH |
Bible Note: The word "our" (Gr. "hemon") appears to be a typo. Although Paul was a descendant of Abraham, he was writing to the gentile Christians in Rome. And, no, they weren't sons of Ishmael either. "To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints." - Ro 1:7a Abraham was the forefather of gentile Christians according to faith, but not according to the flesh. |
