Continuing In Romans Chpt Two

OK guys;

I think we had a good discussion this past Sunday. In the verses one through sixteen, Paul proves that "moralism" will not justify you before God. By the way, I have not read it yet, but I notices that Al Mohler has a new blog entry entitled "Why Moralism Is Not The Gospel & Why Christians Think It Is." It should be a good read.

Anyway, we move on. Let's look at the rest of Chapter Two this week. Paul moves from the Moralist to the Religionist. The context is an argument against the Religion of the Jews. However, we can clearly see the application to to our modern church.

I once heard Dr. Vines, from FBC Jacksonville say, "People call me one of those narrow minded Baptist who think that only Baptists are going to heaven. No, I am more narrow minded than that. I don't think all Baptists are going to heaven." The Jews did have the LAW. But possession of the LAW is not enough.

In order to fully appreciate Paul's argument, you will really have to continue reading on to 3.8.
My office day is coming to an end. So I will continue this thought tomorrow.

But what do you think?
