Romans 2:1-5 - The Judging Jew is Unrighteous

<p>In the previous passage, God actively gives the Gentiles over to their sin. He is personally and punitively, though not vengeful or spiteful, involved in giving the Gentiles over to their sin. God condemns homosexuality as unnatural and unbiblical. Then Paul lists off 21 different sins the Gentiles are guilty of in their rebellion against God. These 21 sins represent total rejection of God. Finally, those who perform and even approve of these sins are in danger of hell fire. </p> <p>In Romans 2:1, Paul subtly changes to an unrighteous Jew by revealing he is guilty because he practices the very sins they judge. Then in Romans 2:2-5, the eternal destination of the unrighteous Jew is revealed.</p>
