I believe those who were christians have a view of Christianity that has been filtered through their specific brand of the christian faith. Most 'brands' (Including alot of the more popular ones) do not use the bible as their only source of divine revelation. In short that means, just because you worship as a 'christian' does not mean you have any true idea of what the bible says.
My 5 years spent on a Christian forum is proof of this. More over the book of romans is a source of much confusion and even anger from those who 'source divine revelation' from other places because it flies in the face of what those 'christians' come to understand as God's will, and what it means to be christian.
So that is why I am going through this book because it is the one place in the bible where the whole gospel is completely laid out. it explains every aspect of the first steps in your walk with God. meaning it describes what and how and what a biblical Christian is to expect.
