Reps: 96 (power: 0) | | | By the way, does anyone else feel that Romans is the 'ammunition box' for the 'Reformed'? Cause I've had a lot of exposure to Reformed teachings, and many of those I disagree with are directly quoted from Romans (this is partly why I wanted to study it in the first place)
Anyone got an opinion on this?

Who said it wasn't applicable? 
All of God's laws are good, if we use them lawfully.

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. (Act 17:11 KJV)
In other words; don't believe anything you are told, without searching the scriptures daily... yourself. |

Oh, definitely. I often explain the difference between Reformed theology and Anabaptist theology is that Reformed look at everything through the lens of Romans, while Anabaptists look at everything through the lens of the Sermon on the Mount. | | |
