Because this study in Romans undermines MOST if not all versions of Christianity that hold to strict rules or "extra" absolution/attrition for sin. If you guys put any thought into this at all you'd be asking yourself why you can find so many theists who try and undermine or minimalize the works of Paul. The book of Romans is that up discussed reason. This book puts many of the largest denominational doctrines out of business/in direct violation with biblical Christianity.
I would have though more of you would want me to get you through this book so you could us the bible to try and show some of our more legalistlicy confused brothers how their religion is In Direct contradiction to the bible.
As an independent fundamental Baptist I can assure you that although the verses you are pointing toward to free us "confused legalists" from our chains of bondage, it is actually our beloved brother Paul that has given us the doctrine for which we do the things we do.
(Perhaps take the time to go to any fundamental church website and read their article of faith to find out why we believe what we believe and the verses we use to justify those beliefs)
Here are a few verses to ponder; 1Co 5:5, 11, 13; 2Co 6:14, 17, 10:6; Gal 1:8; Eph 5:11; 2Th 1:6-8, 3:14; 1Ti 1:20, 2:14, 5:20, 6:5; 2Ti 1:15, 2:17, 3:5, 4:2, 4:10, 4:14 ....Mt 9:11, 11:19; Mk 2:16, Lk 5:30, 7:34, 15:2, 19:7 ...Mt 16:11, Mk 8:15 ...Mt 7:1, Lk 6:37, 1Co 5:12.
Something that was very helpful to me was reading just the red letters in the 3 gospels
...it actually doesn't take as long as you might think!

But be blessed, Drich, and smiles and blessings to all :•)
We will overcome the ambiguity effect
