Shepherds Bible Romans chapter 2

CHAPTER 2 1. Therefore thou art inexcusable, 0 man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest, doest the same things. # What Paul is saying here is, you complain that these people are bad, yet you are doing the same thing yourselves. 2. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. 3. And thinkest thou this, 0 man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? # In other words, we talk about their being bad, but are we any better? 4. Or despiseth thou the riches of His goodness and forbearance and long suffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? # Paul is saying, are you overlooking God’s patience with us, or do you just not care? 5. But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; #Think about this for a moment. How many of our own today preach

against sin with the threat of hell and damnation, and at the same time practice idolatry by leading their congregations to worship the Kenite messiah and, by this same erroneous line of thinking, to also believe the Kenites (the sons of Satan) are God’s chosen people This is what the Father is hinting at here. 6. Who will render to every man according to his deeds: # On the first level, this judgment refers to our moral laws; but on the third level, it speaks of our own people who follow Lucifer in ignorance. 7. To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: # These are the firstfruits, and this is you, I pray . 8. But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, # In other words, unto those deceived who follow the beck and call of Satan through his Kenite followers,who are the false prophets of the last days. 9. Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10. But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: #The word used here as “Jew” means a son of the tribe of Judah (or of the House of Israel), so we see again that Christ went first to Israel.

“And also to the Gentile” means regardless of race or dwelling place; if people do as God would have them do, then they will receive that repentance or salvation to live among their own people and notion. Rev. 21:24. 11. For there is no respect of persons with God. # God judges each person fairly. 12. For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; 13. (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. # Do people today understand and live by the law, or do they break the laws? Hearing and knowing the law as it is taught by the Sanhedrin today is not enough. They do not acknowledge that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. He is refused. On the other hand, Paul was put in chains for teaching Jesus Christ, and we ourselves even at this time try to live the truth, try to lead and guide our people, and we (you and I) will soon be delivered up for doing this very thing. 14. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the low, are a law unto themselves: 15. Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

# Whether a person is Gentile or Israelite, nature itself tells one that those things mentioned in Chapter 1 ought not be. Thus, even without the law or the writings of the Old Testament, one should refrain from these things. 16. In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. # Paul warns that God will judge by Jesus Christ, and when we get to the 11th chapter of Romans you will understand that God has specific duties for specific people, or put differently - diverse purposes for the Kenites and the Israelites. 17. Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, # Or, you call yourself a Judean and even boast of resting in the law. 18. And knowest His will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; # Or, you know what God expects from your studying and learning. I want to mention again the churches of today. They know what the law says. They read the Book. They teach it in the pulpits, yet in ignorance, they do not know the truth of the lie that Satan himself brought upon the world in regard to his plan to steal the birthright. 19. And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, # You think you know the truth so well that you consider yourself a

light to them which are in darkness. Remember what Christ said in Matthew 7:21-22 concerning those who said, Lord, Lord, we have prophesied in your name, and to whom He replied depart from Me, for I know ye not. Their prophecy concerns the Kenite messiah and not our Messiah, Jesus Christ. Thus, to paraphrase, they are not a light to people in darkness because they themselves are in darkness, not recognizing the signs of the times and the things that are upon us. 20. An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes which host the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. 21. Thou therefore, which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? # Are you not studying it out for yourself? # Think of the birthright here. Many teach the Kenite messiah today. By this false teaching, they steal the very place of Jesus Christ, putting the false messiah there instead. At the end of this book of Romans, we’ll have more on this third level thinking concerning the secret that was hidden before the very foundations of this world. 22. Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit

adultery?

thou

that

abhorrest

idols,

dost

thou

commit

sacrilege? # Continuing on the third level, consider our people who commit adultery. We are the bride of the Messiah, Jesus Christ while He is away. Will we be one of those with child when He returns? In other words, will we have taken on another husband, the Kenite messiah, before Yahshua returns? “thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit

sacrilege’.” Are we taking from the true temple, which is the body of Jesus Christ, and putting in its place, the false Christ? 23. Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law, dishonourest thou God? 24. For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. # I recommend you read Ezekiel 36:20-23. The subjects there relate to this verse. God Himself said, I know you’ve caused the Gentiles to talk against Me, blaspheming Me because of the way you act, and God says not in your behalf but for My own name, I’ll bring you from this. it is good reading with this chapter and will help you to understand it better. 25. For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. # It did profit before Christ’s crucifixion, because it was God’s law, but circumcision is outward and if you break God’s law in your heart, the fact of circumcision counts for naught. Circumcision today is a matter of the heart and is spiritual. 26. Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shalt not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? # In other words the Gentile, that keeps God’s laws, shall certainly be a partaker in the promises of God.

27. And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? # You have the truth. You’re educated. You can read God’s law and yet you lead people from the law and actually take them to that den of iniquity which is the abode of Lucifer, as stated in Mark 13:14. (The abomination shall stand in the land of Judea in the last days.) 28. For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29. But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. # Here again Jew should be translated Israelite or Judean. See App. III. #Paul tells us here how to identify the true Israelite even at this day and time. Now the ten tribes went north from Jerusalem and became lost - not to God - but to their own identity. In other words, circumcision does not define the true Israelite, - but the heart does. One who loves Jesus Christ, who follows Him from the heart, one who teaches Jesus Christ and accepts Him, this is where you will find the real Israelite.
