Bible Question: I would like some one explain Romans 9:11! Is it speaking mainly of Rebecca's children or all of the unborn? What does this verse mean? |
Bible Answer: You can't extract a verse and attempt to read it all on its own. This leads to hapax (doctrine built on a single verse/word). If you really want to know what it means, then you have to read the verse in light of Chap. 9, and Chap. 9 in light of the whole of Romans. I'll do my best to help. We'll just look at Romans 9. What does Paul start out with? After we skip through all the frilly wording we find that he's talking about the Jews (v.4). What about them? Not all are the elect of God. So we skip ahead with this idea to verse 9. Read verse 9 in relation to the argument that not all Jews are God's elect people. I hope this helps. Also, I do not consider myself an expert exegete, so do not take what I say as expert. I do suggest reading Karl Barth and his exegesis of Romans, or most other commentaries on Romans which can be found in the public library. |
