Romans 3 Tree of Life Version (TLV)
1. Last week, Paul made the point that both Jew and Gentile are equally guilty for breaking the Torah and sinning against God – he now begins ch. 3 with two questions. Is there any advantage then in having the Jewish people anymore as being a distinct nation? If yes, what are those advantages according to this chapter and the rest of the Bible? Give references…
2. If human disobedience to God does not nullifies God’s plan to have an “elected nation” (i.e. Israel), how exactly then does this demonstrate God’s righteousness and His innocence in punishment? Give Biblical references?
3. What is the Biblical and Jewish premise of God’s judgment in wrath? Give examples
4. How does Paul deal with the argument that our sin proves God’s righteousness? Explain…
5. Paul now gives his own Biblical evidence for the argument that both Jew and non-Jew are both bound up in sin, how is this same argument also supported by Jewish literature?
6. What is one of the main purposes of the Torah, and what is the Torah powerless to accomplish, according to our chapter and to the Bible overall?
7. If the Torah is not the “source of righteousness”, what is?
8. Is the true source of righteousness antithetical towards Judaism? If not, give Biblical and Jewish references to support…
9. How does God make a man righteous and what is the definition of “Mishpot”?
10. So if the way to make one righteous is separate from the Torah, does Faith (emunah) nullify the Torah? If not, then why have Torah?
