Egocentrically Religious | |
Book of Romans / int_17f88647 | comment |
Egocentrically Religious: Romans 11:17-22 are written as a warning to the Gentile believers, that although they as a "wild olive branch" are grafted into the cultivated olive tree that the Jews, the "natural olive branches", were broken off from, that they should not boast against the branches, because it is not them that support the root, but the root that supports them, and that they should not be high-minded but fear, because if God didn't spare the natural branches, He may not spare the Gentile believers either. | |

Sequel Hook | |
Book of Romans / int_6293c185 | comment |
Sequel Hook: Towards the end of the book, Paul announces his intention to visit Rome before going to Spain. However, the sequel was apparently never written. Luke makes no mention of a trip to Spain in the Book of Acts, and Paul appears not to have made it out of Rome alive after a subsequent visit there. Most scholars agree he never went to Spain. If he did, either he never wrote about it, or his writing did not survive to be compiled with the rest of the New Testament. | |

Book of Romans / int_641cf81d | comment |
Viewers Are Geniuses: Scholars have observed that this is the only New Testament epistle that seems to be constructed specifically as a theological treatise, rather than a personal letter about specific concerns in the Early Church. Theological commentaries on it can run to multiple volumes. This is amusingly referenced in The Bible itself, when Peter in his own second epistle remarks on Paul's letters: "His letters contain some things that are hard to understand..." (2 Peter 3:16). | |

From Bad to Worse | |
Book of Romans / int_7870735b | comment |
From Bad to Worse: Romans 1:28-32 is interpreted by certain Christians as being this to those that knew God, but didn't glorify him as God nor were thankful, but became vain in their reasonings and their foolish heart became darkened: that first He gives them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their own bodies among themselves. Then next He gives them up to dishonorable passions, such as women trading natural passions for unnatural ones and men leaving "the natural use of the woman" to work what is shameful among themselves. And then, since they don't think it's important to retain any knowledge of God, He gives them over to "a reprobate mind" to do things that are not fitting. | |

"For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive." (Romans 16:18) | |

Meat Versus Veggies | |
Book of Romans / int_b8a13baa | comment |
Meat Versus Veggies: In the early part of Chapter 14, Paul comments that there are some believers who believe that they are allowed to eat all things, while there are others who believe they can only eat vegetables (not necessarily because of reasons for vegetarianism used today, but because some meat of the time had been given as an offering to a pagan deity which the temple then turned around and sold). Paul thus instructs those who have the faith to eat all things not to despise those who abstain, and that those who abstain should not pass judgment on those who have the faith to eat all things, because whether they eat or do not eat, they do it for the glory of God and give thanks to Him. | |
