A Whole Bible Look At: Romans 9 thru 12

Bruce S. Bertram from The Word of God Ministries and http://www.wholebible.com lays out the third part of his series on Romans. This one on chapters 9 through 12. Links to specific verses and videos are below.

You probably haven't quite heard Romans this way. We are going through it like we would've had we been the original recipients. The original audience would not have just read three verses at a time, talked about them for an hour, and taken a whole year to go through the letter. No. They would've eagerly devoured every word right straight till the end. Then they would've read it again. And again. Then they might've discussed parts in small groups over dinner.

The Romans were also not a bunch of theologians. They were just regular joes like you and me, using the tools they had (the Old Testament and maybe a couple other letters) along with perhaps some input from their Jewish brothers. In short, anyone can understand Paul's letter(s). All they had to do was read it and do it.

What makes it hard to understand is all the extra-biblical church or synagogue traditions that overlay the plain meaning of the Word. Cut through that malarkey, read it, and do it, and suddenly the meaning jumps right out there. But you knew that, didn't you?
