ROMANS 2:11: GOD WILL JUDGE BOTH JEWS AND GENTILES BY THE SAME CRITERION.
(A more accurate, insightful translation [not an official translation]) Read Romans 2:11 in The Good News Translation and the Easy-To-Read Version to see if their verses basically agree with the above translation.)
ROMANS 2:11: “FOR GOD JUDGES ALL PEOPLE IN THE SAME WAY.[there is no partiality with God].”
(Expanded Bible)
ROMANS 2:11: “FOR GOD JUDGES ALL PEOPLE IN THE SAME WAY.”
(New Century Version) All translations of Romans 2:11 say basically that God will show NO PARTIALITY or NO FAVORITISM (during His future judgment of everyone.)
ROMANS 2:12: “When the Gentiles sin, they will be DESTROYED, even though they never had God’s written law. And the Jews, who do have God’s law, will be judged by that law when they fail to obey it. 13 For merely listening to the law doesn’t make us right with God. It is OBEYING the law that makes us right in his sight.
(New Living Translation)
ROMANS 2:12: “FOR AS MANY AS HAVE SINNED (in ignorance of the Mosaic laws, anomos, Strong’s 460) WITHOUT LAW ALSO WILL BE DESTROYED……”
(A Conservative Version Interlinear, one of the most ultra literal translations ever published, parenthesized words added). Apparently Romans 2:12 above refers to the permanent, eternal destruction of ONLY people who were not righteous enough to be in the first resurrection mentioned in Revelation 20. After being resurrected in the second, much larger general resurrection, incorrigible sinners will be destroyed if they continue to refuse obeying or learning how to obey Jesus, who literally will be living on the earth during the coming Christian millennium. Just like driving through a red light in ignorance of the law will not excuse one from the penalty of the law, breaking God’s laws in ignorance of them also will not excuse one from the penalties. The Greek word anomos appears in these verses. The statement above that the people (Gentiles) who have never been exposed to the laws of Moses SIN reveals that they are REQUIRED to obey the law to be sinless since 1 John 3:4 defines sin as breaking the law.
Matthew 13:41-42: “The Son of Man will be sending forth his messengers and they will be collecting out of his kingdom all the offenses and those who are practicing LAWLESSNESS, 42 and will be casting them into the furnace of fire–the weeping and the gnashing of teeth will be there.” (MLV)
The original Greek word for lawlessness above is anomia (the Torah), which includes the mainstreamer despised, “Jewish” safe meat and festival laws. The gnashing of teeth could suggest that they knew about the laws of Moses but suddenly realized they had made the catastrophic mistake of believing others who had assured them that they had been abolished, trusting the words of man more than the words of God.
MATTHEW 7:23: “…… I NEVER EVER KNEW YOU, DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO VIOLATE THE TORAH (ANOMIA).” (exeGeses Companion Bible, parenthesized word added) Exegeses means a “critical analysis.” The Greek word anomia appears in this verse. Not all of the Old Testament laws need to be obeyed, though, since the Apostle Luke revealed that the circumcision law (SPECIFICALLY NAMING IT) has been abolished, and Paul explained that the sacrifice and Levitical priesthood laws (ALSO SPECIFICALLY NAMING THEM) have also been annulled. They never did specifically name the safe meat, festival, enriching tithing, and Saturday Sabbath laws in the same way, so those laws, using a little reasonable logic, obviously still remain fully intact.
Read how Joseph H. Thayer, a world class expert on Greek word definitions, defines ANOMIA, the kind of lawlessness that Jesus warned primarily Christians about. ANOMIA, a relatively rare word appearing only 13 times in the Bible, is usually translated loosely as lawlessness or iniquity.
IN THE GREEK, ANOMIA, STRONG’S 458, LITERALLY, SPECIFICALLY MEANS “NO OR WITHOUT TORAH.” A MEANS “NO” OR “WITHOUT” AND NOMIA MEANS “LAW,” PRIMARILY THE LAWS WITHIN THE FIRST FIVE BOOKS OF THE OLD TESTAMENT: GENESIS, EXODUS, LEVITICUS, NUMBERS, AND DEUTERONOMY. THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN 1896, MARCH, 2005 SEVENTH PRINTING BY HENDRICKSON PUBLISHERS, ONE OF THE WORLD’S BEST LEXICONS, ON PAGE 48 DEFINES ANOMIA AS “1. PROP. THE CONDITION OF ONE WITHOUT LAW, — EITHER BECAUSE IGNORANT OF IT OR BECAUSE VIOLATING IT. 2. CONTEMPT AND VIOLATION OF LAW, INIQUITY, WICKEDNESS ….” ANOMOS, STRONG’S 459, THE ADJECTIVE FORM OF THE FEMININE NOUN ANOMIA, ALSO ON PAGE 48 IS DEFINED AS
“DESTITUTE OF (THE MOSAIC) LAW ….”!!!!
ANOMOS, STRONG’S 460, THE ADVERB FORM OF ANOMIA, SPELLED JUST LIKE THE ADJECTIVE BUT PRONOUNCED DIFFERENTLY, ON PAGE 48 IS ALSO DEFINED AS
“…. TO SIN IN IGNORANCE OF THE MOSAIC LAW ….”!!!!
PROVING CONCLUSIVELY THAT LAWLESSNESS (ANOMIA) REALLY DOES REFER TO THE MOSAIC LAW ITSELF, WHICH OF COURSE WOULD INCLUDE THE MAINSTREAMER DESPISED SAFE MEAT AND FESTIVAL LAWS (MOST OF THE FESTIVALS ARE HIGHLY PROPHETIC).
2 CORINTHIANS 6:14: “YOKE NOT UNEQUALLY WITH THE TRUSTLESS! FOR WHAT PARTAKING HAS JUSTNESS WITH TORAH VIOLATIONS? (ANOMIA) ……” (exeGeses Companion Bible, parenthesized word added) The Greek word anomia appears in this verse.
2 CORINTHIANS 6:14: “DON’T BE UNEQUALLY YOKED WITH UNBELIEVERS, FOR WHAT FELLOWSHIP DO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND INIQUITY (ANOMIA) HAVE?” (WEB, parenthesized word added) The Greek word anomia appears in this verse. That’s right, believe it or not, both Paul and our Creator expect you to marry someone who keeps the laws of Moses, excluding the sacrifice, circumcision, and Levitical priesthood laws.
MATTHEW 23:28: “…… OUTWARDLY YOU ALSO MANIFEST AS JUST UNTO HUMANITY, BUT INWARDLY YOU ARE FULL OF …… TORAH VIOLATIONS (ANOMIA).” (exeGeses Companion Bible, parenthesized word added) The Greek word anomia appears in this verse.
If you have an open mind and admit that the majority is not always right, then this website should convince you, perhaps little by little at first, but ultimately, that in the last, exhaustive analysis, true, Biblical sin really does include breaking not only the New Testament’s magnified Mosaic laws, but also breaking, deliberately OR IN IGNORANCE THE OLD TESTAMENT’S MOSAIC LAWS excluding the now unnecessary or burdensome sacrifice, circumcision, and Levitical priesthood laws identified by the Apostles as abolished, despite the constant reassurance by your local, impressive, well credentialed minister that most OT laws have been annulled. Just the former sacrifice laws themselves involved a large number, close to one third of all the Mosaic laws. Most ministers are dependent on a regular paycheck from their church, so they of course dare not even question their denomination’s doctrines. This book repeatedly, time after time, consistently shows that the popular, verse skipping, mainstream Christian churches cannot even come close to Biblically proving, beyond reasonable doubt, their claim that most or all of the Mosaic laws have been abolished. Their arguments have such glaringly obvious wide loopholes that you could almost “drive a Mack truck through them.” A divinity degree is not needed to see the important verses they steadfastly insist on ignoring. Verse skipping mainstreamers generally also insist on using the usually antinomian slanted English translations for some all important law keeping verses without acknowledging what certain, important, original Greek words really mean and even refuse to acknowledge the obvious context, which could be about as Satanic as Satan expects people to get without actually turning red and growing horns and a forked tail.
