Note sull'episodio
We’re hitting the “steep” part of Romans now. Paul’s theology is beginning to get uncomfortable. (Yeah, I know, it's already been steep. I told you that Romans is the Mount Everest of the New Testament.)
He smack-talks the Law and the flesh. He keeps saying the Law is good, but what he says about it sure doesn’t sound good. And what he says about the flesh sounds just as bad.
This is one of those passages we will need to wrestle with in our breakout groups and on our own.
Then, for the first time, Paul begins to talk about predestination and election. There’s more about that next week, but we do some interesting excavation in Greek that sheds new light on these words.
We cover Romans 7-8.
