Romans 13 and Civil Disobedience

Ken Brown | November 14, 2009

The thirteenth chapter of Romans has been erroneously used to proclaim that all disobedience of one’s government is categorically immoral, contrary to God’s Word, the Bible. Many Bible versions even translate the early verses of this chapter in a manner that clearly conveys this message.

Who is the Old Man and What is He Doing?

Ken Brown | April 20, 2009

There have been at least two problems with some past common teachings regarding the “old man” referenced in the Scriptures. One has been teachings that have been contradictory: teaching from Romans that the old man is dead, and teaching from Ephesians that we must continually and vigilantly put off the old man. Both cannot be true. The other problem has been a misunderstanding of who or what the “old man” is or was. A common teaching has been that the “old man” is your old sin nature, and the “new man” is your new spirit nature. The Scriptures, however, don’t say that. The purpose of this article is to provide Biblical documentation as to what the story is with the “old man.”
