We're going to take on 1st and 2nd Corinthians...just keep on keeping on :)  These letters were written by Paul, just as Romans was, so count on some deep thinking and look forward to being challenged!

Friday, October 5th - Romans 12

V. 20 is clearly responsible for that whole "kill them with kindness" attitude. But really how kind,loving are you for your enemy if in the back of your mind you're heaping burning coals on their head?
I do like the ealier verses wrt to everyone being given different gifts and talents.

October 2 - Romans 9

This Chapter expresses the sovereignty of God.  Who are we to question His purpose?  I like the imagery of the Potter and the vessels.

This Chapter directly refutes the idea that Christians have replaced Jews as God's chosen people.  Those of us who have come to Christ are essentially adopted as children of Abraham - heirs of the promise.  For this reason Christians have a common heritage with Jews.
