Shutting the Mouths of the Self-Righteous (Romans 3:9-20)
What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin; as it is written, “THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS, THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD; ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.” “THEIR THROAT IS AN OPEN GRAVE, WITH THEIR TONGUES THEY KEEP DECEIVING,” “THE POISON OF ASPS IS UNDER THEIR LIPS”; “WHOSE MOUTH IS FULL OF CURSING AND BITTERNESS”; “THEIR FEET ARE SWIFT TO SHED BLOOD, DESTRUCTION AND MISERY ARE IN THEIR PATHS, AND THE PATH OF PEACE HAVE THEY NOT KNOWN.” “THERE IS NO FEAR OF GOD BEFORE THEIR EYES.” Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may become accountable to God; because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.
Preview
Paul declares in Romans 1:18-32 God’s condemnation of all mankind. This condemnation is based upon man’s rejection of God’s self-revelation through creation. Enthusiastically, the self-righteous Jews accept Paul’s words as an indictment of the Gentiles, failing to recognize they too are condemned. In chapter 2 Paul pointedly turns to the Jews, condemning them on the basis of their hypocrisy. They neither live in accordance with the standard by which they judge others guilty nor in accordance with what they teach. Paul presses on in chapter 3 to show the sinfulness of these self-righteous Jews as they justify their own sin, while questioning God’s justice for judging them. In this concluding section of Romans 3:9-20, Paul seeks to silence once and for all the self-righteous Jews. He does this by proving from the Old Testament Scriptures that Jews and Gentiles alike are under sin and worthy of divine judgment. Comparing themselves with others is certainly no basis for their own justification. He reminds the Jews of the function of the Law in their lives: the Law was not given to make them righteous; it was given to show them their unrighteousness.

and just what is the difference when christmas gets celebrated, christ is christmas, not disney, or presents, .the causal arose because the jewish calendar is lunar, the christian solar, thereby presenting an apples and oranges situation, so since christmas is a christian event, why care when its celebrated? jerry

He just likes to twist and turn and deviate from the topic at hand, esp. when he is feeling threatened by common sense.

If by that you mean there arent a couple of dozen women alleging sexual impropriety against thim then no we arent.
What the hell difference does his sexuality make any way?
at least he isnt a lecherous pervert like the current POTUSHi You mean the left isn't hiring people to accuse him of things they can not prove...but then again, he is the left, so that would not be particularly wise, would it? I have this thing, I don't like to be lied to or made a fool of, and when a President presents himself as a heterosexual male, I have this thing that gets really pissed off when he isn't what he says he is. Now, I see Michelle is admitting that both their daughters are not hers..Artificial insemination, they say..due to miscarriages...or is there another reason. Obama has lied to us, he has hidden his history and he has proven himself untrustworthy in many ways...So, yeah, his sexually does make a difference, when he has portrayed himself in one light, but hidden the truth. And, you have proof that Trump is a pervert? I mean other than paid accusers and liberal lies? All you really have is a private conversation between Trump and a friend and them speaking about women, like most men do when in private...And, that is ALL you have..which proves that if Trump is a pervert, so are 95% of men today.

Coming from someone that is scared to even tell where he is from....I just don't think I am too concerned about what you think. Is your last name Obama??? He didn't want people to know where he was from either...LOL

He was from the US even the person who supposedly sent investigators to Hawaii(which he didn't) admitted he was born here, so are you a birther freak? Those kids aren't Michelles, what is the differnce between carrying a baby, adopting a baby and having one naturally, none! The Obama gay thing is about equal to the Travolta, Gere gay thing and all that goes with it, nasty rumours by nasty people. 95% of men are perverts no they are not! Because Clinton was or Trump is does not make it so. Being a heterosexual male does not put you above a homosexual male, when the hetero is getting off by lying and cheating especially when they have a partner and our in polictics, dems make excuses for Clinton and republicans do for Trump, just say you don't give a damn that they weren't both perverts, that my guy is not a bigger pervert than your guy absurd they are both off the off the wall with sexual issues, no brainer and no bragging rights either.

Well, Katie...we have a difference of opinion here...nothing new...but I believe the Bible is on my side this time, as far as the homosexual thing...but since you have no proof of it being false, you really have nothing to stand on. It seems that those rumors are seeing more circumstances that say they are truer, than not. Most liberals have no problem with any life style that might exist...no difference in how out of line it is with the Bible, morals, and values, it may be. Even so, just the fact that Obama may have made total fools of America with his "marriage, children and past" is enough to condemn him, in my opinion. While you may think that Trump is a pervert...at least he is not THAT KIND of pervert. Seems you have enough problems on your side to deal with, without judging Trump with different standards...oh yeah..that's what liberals do, right???

Well, I was going to continue to scroll past and ignore peppermintpickle's posts, but sometimes an all caps moment in her post catches the eye... ...and draws one in to stop and read more of the post.
Well now, neither the Bible or rumors are proof of anything, really. So, Peppermint, that puts you and Katie in, shall we say, a stalemate.
Good day.

While I agree rumors are not substanial proof, we disagree that the Bible is not.

It amazes me where you mind goes Katie...dildos??? porn movies??? And if you think Maxine Waters is in any way, intelligent, it says more about you than anything you or I could say. None of the right wing people you listed are in politics and running our country. The three I names are or wish they were. When you want to compare people, you should try to get the same type of things to compare. As far as the Hollywood types...they are people that make a living pretending to be other people..can you explain to me just how they classify themselves to be advisors for other people??? How did Obama measure up to standards that you hold Trump to? OH, yeah, that's right, you didn't like him or Clinton either...who do you support on the left...every person I bring up, well they aren't your cup of tea..Well, who is? You can not judge people with two different standards. Obama was less than reputable, with his drug use, his connection to terrorist, and etc...but you condemn Trump for liking women. We aren't 100% sure what sex Obama likes, are we??? I just have to wonder how you can't see how hypocritical you are? But hey, that is a liberal thing, isn't it!!! **** If you notice, I didn't trash you personally, just your differing standards when judging politicians. Does that include your comments about "dildos" and "porn movies" or should I give that a pass as it's nothing personal? I amaze you? Step up your game and leave your dildos where they should be left!
