Shalom Every One,
i have a question. is Shaul confused? or being contradictory? for he says in Romiyim (Romans) 2:12,13:
"12 For all who have sinned without the
will also perish without the
, and all who have sinned under the
will be judged by the
. 13 For it is not the hearers of the
who are righteous before Elohim, but the doers of the
who will be justified."
the point of reference being being: "it is not the hearers of the
who are righteous before Elohim,
but the doers of the who will be justified."
and then he says in Romiyim (Romans) 3:19,20:
"19 Now we know that whatever the
says it speaks to those who are under the
, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to Elohim. 20 For
by works of the no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the
comes knowledge of sin."
how are these two points to be reconciled when they seem contradictory (or else Shaul was confused and forgot he said the first thing)?
Shalom v'Chesed B'Yeshua,
Z'ev Yochanan Valdron
