Bonus questions on Romans 2:17-29
  • Remember, these Jews thought they were good religious people. How do you think they could do these evil things in good conscience?




  • • Are you a spiritual Jew? Why? How does one become a spiritual Jew? Look in 2:29.





  • What according to Paul distinguishes a “real Jew” from those commonly called of Jews?
    Can you make the same distinction in the case of the name ‘Christian’? What is the primary difference if any? Where do you think ‘circumcision of the heart’ might have gotten its meaning?




  • One of the big problems in our churches today is this: Religious people call themselves Christians because they were baptized and go to church and yet do evil works. From the last two verses, how should we think of and approach these religious people?
