edited out my usual stupid lines*


well not long ago i commenced my 'pauls letters'marathon LOL. -yay clapclap- just pretty much reading up all of the letters paul sent kickin it off in romans lol. this lil' project could take preeetty long to finish thinks t self*. well anyway finally wrapped up romans the other day.

regarding the overall theme of romans. what was purdy much happening here was that :

a) humans don't do anything right. in a nicer way, no one is righteous.
b) because of Jesus we can be freed of our sins
b2) resurrection - dying with sin and rebirth with a relationship with God
c) lol old ol' jews n' gentiles thing - value of circumcision - israel is still the one
d) if youre gonna do it do it right. live holy.

interesting because if you look at it in this perspective. i see a,b,c and d as remedies and with remedies you can always match them up with the problem lol. sort of odd but still.

in a) it could be a message to the gentiles with their foolish thinking and hard hearrts and all.

b)is about having hope. that you wont go to hell indefinately and that you have a choice. takin the slim road and living the way God wants you to. shedding off the old skin if you will.

c) very interesting considering im a noob in scripture talk. like UBER noob. well my best guess is that because gentiles received the grace from God. maybe the jews dont feel 'special' anymore? eh? in romans 2:25 it says that if you break the law it will become as though you are not circumcised so maybe this is a resaon for the jews to be disappointed? but then paul goes to tell them all that baptisism is like the circumcision of the heart by the Holy Spirit. he also says that being circumcised is also a way that God used to entrust the words of God himself. its sort of like pauls reassuring them LOL. but thats just me .... nuts i dont even know what im talking about for c) D:

d)as ken likes to say it : self explanatory. (he actually stole that line from me, from when he asked what a passage meant id say it was SE lol)


OMG I COULD TYPE FOR LIKE EVERRRR. i just had a dose of Jesus sorry o.o ... anyway


lots of great verses, too many ... tis like candy Jesus gave me and told me to share D:

first off ill start with 5:3-5 Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. (just noticed that its one of karen's fave passages :D lol)

2nd. 6:16 Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey him as slaves, you are slaves to the one whom you obey—whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?

lol i liked this passage cos it talked about simple it was to choose the right path. its like you wanna go to the hell or heaven o.o very clear cut. refreshing almost, like a good old scolding for sinning ... i like ... lol

3rd. 7:15-20 the crazy verse. simply said : when i want to do good evil is right there with me. and idk why but reading this wade me so ... emo again. eh been in the emo phase and still sorta in it. it just was like reading my own battles, the most frustrating fight of all. at the end paul says what a creep he and gives thanks to Jesus for pulling him outta the rut.

4th. 8:26 26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express.

lol for those prayer moments (heart emote fail, is it ctrl + 3?)

so sad ... and i havent even gotten to the destiny or the love verses D:
ehhh save em for later lol. well this is the end of my first grinding session/ hardcore bible blog session lol, 1 corthin is next up should be good. i feel a lots been learned & accomplished in this blog. took about 2 hrs 1 - 3am lol. still feel like i owe Jesus a couple in depth blogs for some verses in romans, do those later i guess.

g'nite and let God bless.
