…A Prophet like Moses…

Romans 14:1-23 Christian Love and Liberty
Christian Love and Liberty Romans 14:1-23 In question are things to which there are not clear Biblical answers. These are problems which Scripture gives little to no guidance, or to which the rituals or ceremonies no longer have meaning. In the church of Rome there were people from diverse backgrounds, similar to our nation of …
Romans 11:15-24 Broken Branches – Grafted In
Broken Branches – Grafted In Romans 11:15-24 Paul begins using the allegory of an olive tree. The breaking off of some of the branches represents reprobate national Israel.

Is this not enough evidence to prove to us that the rejection of Jesus is also rejecting God and His righteousness. It should be enough. …
Romans 10:1-8 God’s Righteousness
God’s Righteousness Romans 10:1-8 Paul is still in his parenthetical statement, and now addresses the unbelief of the nation of Israel. Many of these things in reference to Israel are a means of warning, and also encouragement for Christians of all ages. In chapter nine we see that this statement exposes the nations rejection of …
Romans 9:25-33 No People Left Out
No People Left Out Romans 9:25-33 There may have been accusations against Paul’s teaching, claiming that He was preaching an unjust and unrighteous God.
