Paul is speaking specifically to the Jews through verse 7 and then shifts the discussion to both Jews and Gentiles. I don’t know how to explain it any better than I already have to help you see this. 2 Timothy 2:15 - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be...

Again, taken out of context. Romans 2:7 is talking about what a Jew who remains under the law. By patience in well-doing they might expect to be given eternal life but in the end they will find out that they will not get it. The only way for them is through faith.

Romans 1:17 - For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

I would say it is fine to remain in your church as long as they are doctrinally sound and do not idolize the KJV by incorporating its so-called “perfection” in every sermon which would be idolatry. I used to be a KJVOnlyist and what lead me out of it were simple historic facts surrounding the...

Sure there is. Matthew 7:21-23 - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out...

I believe God renders eternal life to those who believe and trust in Jesus Christ to save them, not verses taken out of context to support a works based salvation.

Fair enough. It didn’t seem contradictory to me the first time I read it but we can agree to disagree on the meaning.

Yes, I agree. That’s not what we were talking about. The OP opened this thread to discuss contradictory teachings and you said Yep, Romans 2:13 and Romans 3:20. I can’t accept contradictions. Maybe you can but I have to hold the World of God to a higher standard. Since God’s Word cannot contain...

Depends. Those who believe in Replacement Theology believe that the Church replaces Israel. That is not my view. I believe there were promises given to Abraham’s physical descendants who are now gathered as a nation.

The WHOLE context of Romans is how one is justified by FAITH, not by works of the law. My interpretation is one that does not have a contradiction between two specific passages.

I believe the distinction is that the law in Romans 2 refers to performing works under the old covenant Mosiac law which the Jews believed made them righteous. The problem for them was there was no faith behind it, they were simply just going through the motions. I have heard Roman Catholic...

Technically the original sin was committed by Eve but it was accounted to Adam because woman came from man.

Technically "God The Son" is a man made title. However, all it means to me is that He is The Son of God who is God.

For the record, I do not believe in faith and works. I believe in a faith that works. There is consistency between this text and other texts that show us that. Let me break this down. Romans 2:1-2 - Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou...

The context of Romans 2 is how one is justified by law then it is explained why this is impossible. You claimed that there is a contradiction.

I'll put it this way. If I witness to Mormon missionaries I can't use "Godhead" in their bibles to immediately prove the Trinity. I have to string together a number of different verses that prove Jesus' Deity, how the Father, Son, Holy Spirit relate to one another for it to make sense.

The point Paul was making is that if the law must be kept at all then all the law must be kept.

There is no difference if you were to use either term.

The definition of the word "Godhead" does not indicate a divine nature a triune sense. Some have repurposed it to mean it that way and feel free to do so, there's nothing wrong with that. The word "Trinity" is definitionally more accurate even though it isn't a Biblical word.

There are likewise examples Biblical words being used outside of if its proper meaning. I've heard some who use the word "Godhead" from the KJV to define the Triune God instead of "Trinity". Well the underlying Greek word simply means "Deity" and is translated as such in other translations. All...
