hi pastor john,<\/span><\/p>\n

got a question for you. I’m reading in Romans chp 15,verses 16 thru 21. while i was reading in verse 18 it came on me that Paul was referring to the” law of circumcision”.<\/span><\/p>\n

=============<\/span><\/p>\n

Paul could possibly have been referring to the Law in verse 18, since Christ had not revealed to him a gospel that included the works of the Law, but if that is what Paul was referring to, he chose an odd way to say it.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

=============<\/span><\/p>\n

and in verse 20, as i was reading it came on me that he was referring to not building on peters gospel to the Jews, but i also see it as in nations of gentiles where Christ hadn’t been preached.<\/span><\/p>\n

==============<\/span><\/p>\n

In that verse, Paul is only speaking of preaching where no one else had ever preached the gospel.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

==============<\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted to ask you this because i dont want side tracked, I only want what god truly will reveal. I know that they had been trying to get him to add circumcision to his gospel , acts chp 15, I’m sure Paul had pressure on him to add the law but he refused and endured to what god gave him to teach<\/span><\/p>\n

thanks<\/span>

You’re welcome, RS And yes, the pressure on Paul top compromise the truth was enormous. He was a real man of God, and as he himself said, he “fought a good fight.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
