Did you know that Romans was the first New Testament book? Did you also know that Paul never mentions Jesus' life, ministry, death or resurrection? Very interesting.
Goodness, Lowell. Paul talked about those things a lot.
What do you mean?
Do you disregard the books written before Romans? Do you disregard some of the writings attributed to Paul? Maybe we just don't see Paul the same way in history.
But it doesn't matter so much what we think of Paul. Jesus is real. He is the Messiah. And He is for you, not against you. You are welcome here no matter what you believe and I am glad you stopped by and took the time to leave a comment.
John 4:25-26: The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.” Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”
By Paul:
Romans 1: 1-7: “Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ, To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 2:1-2: “And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.”
And I thank Him for YOU, my friend.
