Bible Note: Greetings Doc! What is a narrative? Webster says, "something that is narrated : STORY" The definition of story is: "an account of incidents or events b : a statement regarding the facts pertinent to a situation in question" Now, does Paul's description of himself fit this definition? Consider Paul's statements in Rom. 7:9-10: "Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death." Is he describing a sequence of events or not? When Paul talks about doing what he does not want to do, is he describing actual events? My understanding is that when someone describes either his current state or his past state, that description would be a narration. Can you show me where I am mistaken in this my friend?
