    Two-Part Romans relies upon an ambiguous antecedent in Romans 1:13;
    The antecedent is not ambiguous:
    Therefore, Two-Part Romans is false.

      @reformedpilgrim Please do! The more Biblical truth,the better.Have you ever visited Rogue Calvinists, channel? He does a lot of reaction streams to these false teachers and debates with them,he is solid like you.

      ​@@CBALLEN Yes, I believe I've interacted with a few of your comments on Rogue's channel. He's got a ton of content. I appreciate that he keeps posing the question of how one goes from not believing to believing. People who reject the idea of the internal working of the Holy Spirit in the individual to bring conversion have no answer to Rogue's question.
      Additionally, I personally find it frightening when folks straight-up reject Penal Substitutionary Atonement. In so doing, they are rejecting Isaiah 53 outright, particularly, these verses:
      4 Surely he has borne our griefs
      and carried our sorrows;
      yet we esteemed him stricken,
      smitten by God, and afflicted.
      5 But he was pierced for our transgressions;
      he was crushed for our iniquities;
      upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
      and with his wounds we are healed.
      6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
      we have turned-every one-to his own way;
      and the Lord has laid on him
      the iniquity of us all.

      @@reformedpilgrim Amen,those who reject Substitutional Penal atonement, until the end,are those who'll hear, DEPART. We must worship in Spirit and in Truth,so if there is no Holy Spirit indwelling, they can know no truth.

    Thank you for the time you put into going through this. Very helpful. This whole two part Romans thing is clearly being invented as to find a way around the clear teaching of Romans 8 and 9.

      Thank you for the encouragement, Danny. You're right that clearly that's the goal of Two-Part Romans. The system offers no clear method for determining which passages apply to both Jewish and Gentile Christians, while reserving chapter 8, specifically verses 29 & 30 to Jewish Christians alone. It's telling that Paul's other letters addressed to churches are understood as speaking to those churches, but Romans is treated differently by anti-Calvinists. Just like they reveal their understanding that the ambiguous antecedent doesn't apply to Romans 1:13, this is a giveaway that they know full-well what chapters 8 & 9 of Romans are saying.
      There is, of course, no ethnic hierarchy in the New Covenant, but Two-Part Romans imposes such a hierarchy onto Scripture.

    All of the Book of Romans was written to the church in Rome. And for all believers today. And that is according to the book itself.

      Thank you very much for the encouragement, Ryan! I have enjoyed your example of diving into analysis of propositions and arguments, and have attempted to bring more of that to the forefront, as it helps generate a clear focus in such an effort, that God may be glorified.

    In Christ there are no Jews and Gentiles...........all are of the same flock,all were chosen before time by Election and Jesus saved all the Elect at the cross. All who believe are God's spiritual Israel.

    • @reformedpilgrim
      @reformedpilgrim  7 дней назад

      And that's where we would find sharp division with David Allen. While the New Testament negates an ethnic hierarchy in the New Covenant, Allen upholds it. In fact, that he assumes the Dispensational view to be correct prejudices his findings in Romans. He skipped over Romans 10:12 (For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him), and instead focused on how Paul still identifies himself as a Jew.

      Election to service isn't a thing unless they claim that everyone is Elect since the Lord made everything for its own purpose, even the wicked for the day of evil.

      @@CBALLEN For some reason, RUclips is hiding your second comment that starts with "Election to service". It only shows up when I sort by newest. I have no idea why that's happening. It's not in my "held for review" section on RUclips Studio, so it should always be visible. If RUclips could join the 2020s, and have it's comments section function like Twitter, or Facebook, that would be great.

      @reformedpilgrim I know, I sure hope Trump puts an end to censorship .Since the Lord created everything for its own purpose, even the wicked for the day of evil, that would mean every one is Elected to some type of service, so that cannot be what election means.
