    “not realizing that God’s kindness leads you toward repentance?” v.4. Sometimes we think that people need a crisis in their lives to find God when actually God would rather draw people through His kindness.

    go back and reread the chapter. but this time, replace the some words with words that put things in a more modern context. i think it makes a lot more sense to me. to get at the heart of what paul is saying here. let’s not forget taht this is a man who completely left behind the religion of his youth. the religion he was told was the only road to god. and he has left it and is now explaining why. to get people to see that there is a better way. a way that is truly of god, and how the way that they thought was the way is really not the way.

    as i see many parallels in scripture between the religion that is decried by jesus and paul so much, and the modern christian church, i think this interpretation is a very valid one.

    when you read, replace:

    Law = Bible
    Jew = Christian
    Circumcised = Christian
    Uncircucised = Non-Christian
    Circucision = Christianity
    Uncircumcision = Non-Christianity

    please let me know what you think.
    Uncircumcision = non

    Makes for a challenging read when you read it like that. I’ve also been reading Romans in the Message which gives another perspective.

    Jon..I have tried reading it the way you mentioned and it does put a new spin on things.
