We'll be studying Romans 1 tonight. Is there anything that strikes you as interesting in the chapter? ------------------ |

Is there anything that strikes you as interesting in the chapter? Yes. Paul said in verse 8: First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because the news about your faith is being reported throughout the world. I didn't know that people knew about their faith even far away from Rome. Is there anything in the chapter that troubles you in some way? What do you think is the "theme" of the chapter? EDIT: I've been thinking, Why not continue this Bible study (and/or discusion) until next week? ------------------ [This message has been edited by CPUFreak91 (edited August 26, 2006).] |

Incase someone dosent have this info its on the first page of every book in my Bible Purpose: To introduce Paul to the Romans and to give a sample of his message before he arives in Rome Author: Paul To whom written: The Christians of Rome and believers everywhere Date written: About A.D. 57, from Corinth, as Paul was preparing for his visit to Jerusalem Setting: Apparently Paul had finished his work in the east, and he planned to visit Rome on his way to Spain after first bringing a collection to Jerusalem for the poor Christians there. The Roman church was mostly Jewish but also contained many Gentiles Key People: Paul, Phoebe Key Place: Rome ------------------ |

Is there anything that strikes you as interesting in the chapter? The widespread knowledge of the Faith of the Roman Christians. People born with the spiritual knowledge of Gods existance.
quote: Biblical refrence to physical and spiritual STDs? Is there anything in the chapter that troubles you in some way? What do you think is the "theme" of the chapter? |

- I totally got EST and CST turned around, sorry I'm a bit late - Is there anything that strikes you as interesting in the chapter? quote: A promise of Christ present in the Old Testament and a quick summation of Jesus' humanity and Godhood.
quote: Maybe it's my version (NIV atm) but I missed the part about being "born with it"? In any case, passages referencing our ability to know God's existance and power even without a text Bible in our hands is an encouragement to trust God.
quote: First, the listing of sin is quite comprehensive, if someone wants to ask "what is sin?", you can point to this passage (among a handful), "that is sin."
quote: My pastor gave a talk as on Corinthians - rather I heard one of his talks in his series on Corinthians. I believe that Christ came to die for the sins of the whole world. I also believe every person has the opportunity to be saved. I also believe that God knows who will and who won't and it has no bearing as far as our mortal choices as to whether we do or do not believe - God's knowledge doesn't void our choice. I reference this verse here as another verse which might be used in the discussion of "call" and "choice". Should the conversation turn on this topic in a manner of "God chooses for us", I would have to bow out until I reviewed what my pastor had said on the subject.
Obviously the first is the salutation. p.s. I figure the study would just continue as people have time. Depending on how it goes then next Friday introduce Chapter 2. p.p.s. I don't know which would be better but if there are "breakout" discussions on different principles it might be best to actually move them to a different thread? Or leave them here...I don't really know, I just have the question. Or maybe leave all subsequent discussions here and just keep creating a new thread for each new "study" - next week(?) new thread for Bible Study: Romans 2 ??

Whew. Took me a while to phase this the way I wanted.
quote: I didn't think of the second half spelling out what sin is. But it makes sense. Hopefully I can work out a better way for studying. I also hope to cover two chapters especially since we can talk about it all week. I think one thread is fine, even if there a subsequent discussions. And yes I believe a new thread every week should suit nicely. Any ideas on how to improve this guys? Suggestions and criticisms gladly taken. ------------------ |
