Romans Attitude To Christianity
Okay, first and foremost this chapter is basically one that simply describes the attitude and behavior of a Christian. It begins verse 1, "If then you were raised with Christ." This applies if you are baptized and robed in the body of Christ. (Acts 2:38, Romans 6:2-7, Galatians 3:27) "Seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God." The NIV translation reads it as "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things" In other words, keep in mind that our life on this earth is but a blink in time, and eternity is to be spent either with Christ or devoid of his love for eternity. Keep him in mind in all that we do. Verse 3 "3 For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." (Romans 6:1-13) …show more content…
10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, 11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all. (Romans 13:12-14) Put on that new man, if you have been baptized (Acts 2:38) then you have repented. You are no longer that same person as you were before. Everything you have done is gone and buried. You died with Christ, and now a new Christian remains. One that is free from sin, do not commit these sins that we have been speaking about, anger, wrath, blasphemy, immorality, drunkenness, jealousy, and many others. You are renewed in knowledge in the image of your creator. You are now a representation of your …show more content…
Please feel free to tell me what your thoughts on these verses are. Verse 16 reads: Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." Ephesians 5:19 (starting with the second half of v.18) begins "but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord," Lets begin with the simple. "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom," The word of Christ obviously being the Bible. Old and New Testament, study it and know it, we begin this by believing in the word, and continue it by studying as we are

    Greco-Roman Pagan And Judeo-Christian Societies: A Comparative Analysis

    Greco-Roman pagan societies feature the belief in many gods and deities, with their immense power create phenomena such as thunderstorms and volcanoes. In these societies, when something positive occurs, you are to give praise and make a sacrifice to the gods. But when something negative occurs like a disaster, these societies believe that you have angered the gods and will suffer their wrath. But when looking at these two occurrences, neither one these events are seen as the right thing or the malicious thing. There is no concept of that idea in these societies. While looking at Judeo-Christian societies they do have the concept of good and evil. When you do something honorable…

    Bible Interpretation: Steps Involved in Interpretation of New Testament Letters

    Step one of the Interpretative Journey for the New Testament letters asks the reader to "Grasp the text in their town." By this the author wants the reader to understand the difference in culture and time, as well as understand that the message Paul was trying to teach when writing that letter to the Galatians. In chapter 5:16-18, Paul states very clearly and to the point, "Let the holy spirit guide your lives, then you wont be doing what your sinful nature craves." This powerful verse allows the reader to understand how great the fight between the flesh and the Spirit are. These three verses allowed Paul to reassure that anyone who walks in the path of the Spirit will less likely give in to the urges of the Flesh. Those who do right to fulfil their obligation to the Spirit are slowly cleansing their own soul of their sinful desires.…

    interpretation project 2

    In this my second interpretation project step one, I will illustrate the four steps of the Interpretive Journey for the New Testament letters in Journey into God's Word: Your Guide to Understanding and Applying the Bible (pp.100-102) and apply these steps to Galatians 5:16-18 and "grasp the text in their own." The main verse is Galatians 5:16 which states: "This I say then, walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh." In these three verses Paul exhorted the Galatians to walk in the Spirit. Paul says that anyone who walks in the Spirit "will absolutely not" do the desires of the flesh. Paul contrast the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit.…

    How Did Christianity Influence The Development Of Roman Religion

    Although the Catholic Church started in Rome, Christianity was not the first religion practiced there. Like Greece, the Romans’ first religion was polytheistic; they worshipped the same gods as the Greeks but gave them Roman names and added a few gods too. Zeus became Jupiter, Hera became Juno, and Athena became Minerva. Also, some emperors were considered to be deities which influenced political power in Rome. Later on during the expansion of the empire, the popularity of religions such as Christianity and Judaism were on the rise. Certain emperors saw Jews and Christians as a threat to the empire, resulting in the Jewish Wars and the persecution of Christians. All of this would end though, following the Edict of Milan in 313 CE under the…

    Compare And Contrast Christianity And Roman Religion

    Roman religion and Christianity both express many similar foundational and structural ideas. Romans and Christians share the same base of strong moral as well as respect for authority. The Roman family’s shrines to the gods although not exactly the same is very similar to Jesus’s followers enamored by his teachings, and in turn was very cult-like. They were passionate about their gods, and needed to express that. Both religions believe in sacrifice. Roman’s would sacrifice themselves, food, and objects in order to please the gods, while Jesus sacrificed himself for humanities sins, others who followed in Jesus’s footsteps were considered Martyrs. Another similarity belongs in the hierarchy and social status, Rome was very structured with the patron-client system, which focused on respect. The hierarchy of Christianity was focused on doctrine and keeping internal strife at bay, as did Rome’s hierarchy.…

    Biblical Worldview J Rogers

    Often times, new believers are encouraged to read through the book of Romans. This is because Paul is able to break down essential aspects of the Christian life in a way that is both probing and encouraging. It covers aspects of the natural world, human identity, relationships, and culture. As with every word of the Bible, this book transcends time and culture and speaks as much in todays’ time as it did to the Roman church to who Romans was originally written. As believers in Christ, it is important to live these truths so that He may use our lives for His glory and honor.…

    Christian Worldview: Paul's Letter To The Romans

    A worldview is how someone sees life, reasons for making decision, and the filter they use to understand life and everything in it (Weider & Gutierrez, 2011). Knowing what a worldview is makes it easier to understand what a Christian Worldview is. A Christian Worldview uses the Bible as its filter for understanding the world around us and how we should act. Paul addresses a lot of perspectives of the Christian Worldview in his letter to the Romans. Paul touches on the Christian worldview in the areas of the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.…

    Christianity in Rome

    Religion played a key role in the daily life and social system of Ancient Rome. Religion included the worship of many gods and more gods were often adopted from conquered areas. Because most religions were polytheist at the time, the Romans rarely disallowed a cult from a conquered region to continue. A few cults ran into controversy and opposition from citizens or government, such as the cult of Deus Sol Invictus, and that of Isis. Romans were also not keen on monotheistic religion which explains their separation from the Jews. But above all other religions, the Romans disagreed with, persecuted and were threatened most by Christianity. The introduction of Christianity to the Roman Empire challenged a key cohesive element of Roman custom and culture -- religion -- and ultimately contributed to the Empire 's disintegration.…

    Exegesis of Ephesisns 1:15-23

    Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation -- having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise Greek: en o kai humeis akousantes ton logon tes aletheias, to euaggelion tes soterias humon, en o kai pisteusantes esphragisthete to pneumati tes epaggelias to hagio Amplified: In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the long-promised Holy Spirit. Barclay: And it was in Christ that it was determined that you, too, should become the means whereby God’s glory is praised, after you had heard the word which brings the truth, the good news of your salvation—that good news, in which, after you had come to believe, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit, who had been promised to you NLT: And now you also have heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, He identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom He promised long ago. Phillips: And you too trusted Him, when you heard the message of truth, the Gospel of your salvation. And after you gave your confidence to Him you were, so to speak, stamped with the promised Holy Spirit Young's Literal: in whom ye also, having heard the word of the truth -- the good news of your salvation -- in whom also having believed, ye were sealed with the Holy Spirit of the promise, IN HIM, YOU ALSO, AFTER LISTENING TO THE MESSAGE OF TRUTH, THE GOSPEL OF YOUR SALVATION: en o kai humeis akousantes ton logon tes aletheias, to euaggelion tes soterias humon: (Eph 2:11,12; Colossians 1:21, 22, 23; 1Peter 2:10) (Eph 4:21; John 1:17; Romans 6:17; 10:14, 15, 16, 17; Colossians 1:4, 5, 6,23; 1Thessalonians 2:13) (Psalms 119:43; 2Corinthians 6:7; 2Timothy 2:15; James 1:18) (Mark 16:15,16; Acts 13:26;…

    Three Controversial Christian Doctrines

    Once a person is justified, his salvation is guaranteed - he is as secure as if he is already glorified in heaven. Believers are born again (regenerated) when they believe (John 3:3; Titus 3:5). For a Christian to lose his salvation, he would have to be un-regenerated. The Bible gives no evidence that the new birth can be taken away. John 3:15 states that whoever believes in Jesus Christ will "have eternal life.…

    Christian View of Ancient Greek/Roman Philosophy

    Man’s nature has remained the same over history, and the need for some sort of divine aid has never been solely a Christian idea. Many early Greek philosophers understood that men have an innate desire to benefit themselves, but argue over whether they need to strive for justice, or benefit themselves by undermining others. This Greco-Roman philosophy was mainly seen in stoicism, and Platonism and each were incorporated into the Christian mindset.…
