Theology 101

     Welcome to the class. Professor Paul will join us this coming week. 

     He will teach us as he wrote to Jews and Gentiles in the Roman church so long ago. A.D. 57 to be exact. This is his most theological letter, written 25 years into his missionary journeys. 

     Is the Bible from Genesis to Revelation one book? Or is it two - the Old and New Testaments? 

     Are Christians right and Jews wrong, or vice versa? Or are they both right, or both wrong? 

     What went wrong with God's plan for Adam and Eve's descendants? Isn't God powerful enough to subdue evil and make everything right? 

     Paul will teach this week on Romans chapter 10, but his whole letter is instruction enough if we had nothing else. 

     He writes of salvation, wrath, righteousness, law, faith, works, peace, joy, death, sin, grace, life, glory, choice, unbelief, remnants, branches, graft, authority, responsibility. And, oh yes, love. 

     We wouldn't invite Paul - who once persecuted Christians - to take up our time if his message wasn't a matter of eternal life and death. Yours and mine.
