his own soul forever: for this word "accursed" signifies as much in this
place." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "To be insensible to the eternal condition of our fellow-creatures, is
contrary both to the love required by the law, and the mercy of the

"Man
Opposes, God Disposes (Romans 9:1-13)," by Robert Deffinbaugh at the Biblical Studies Foundation.
| "Some seek to water down Paul’s words and the doctrine of election by
suggesting that the election spoken of here and elsewhere is the election of a nation, a
group, and not individuals. This is quite contrary to Paul’s teaching. In fact, the
very concept of group election is the error Paul is trying to correct
here." |

| "I realize, when I see our failure to
give a theologically thoughtful witness, that God's purposes are
especially revealed in the events that uncover the church's brokenness and
unfaithfulness." |

Paul the Father of Misogyny and Antisemitism?" Pamela Eisenbaum,
CrossCurrents, Winter 2000-01.
| "I do not believe the dictum
in Gal. 3:28 as used by Paul was meant to articulate the destruction
of human categories of existence so that people might share the same
human essence. Rather, he articulated the construction of new human
social relations based on the model of family." |
