		<description><![CDATA[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. <br /><div><img src="http://brownbible.com/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/gfx.php?value=4.2" /></div><div>Rating: 4.2/<strong>5</strong> (6 votes cast)</div><br />]]></description>

So I made sure that it was in-fact He that was asking, and that it was in fact His direction for me. Then I asked Him to strengthen and help me, and to calm my fears. What He did for me was exactly what I needed to carry out His direction.<br /><div><img src="http://brownbible.com/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/gfx.php?value=4.5" /></div><div>Rating: 4.5/<strong>5</strong> (36 votes cast)</div><br />]]></description>

Who is it that gets to have this amazing grace?  The record continues on to show through Abraham that "this blessedness" has come to the Gentiles (uncircumcision) as well as to "the circumcision."  It shows that they who walk in the steps of the faith of Abraham receive the Righteousness of faith whether they are of the circumcision or uncircumcision...<br /><div><img src="http://brownbible.com/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/gfx.php?value=5.0" /></div><div>Rating: 5.0/<strong>5</strong> (1 vote cast)</div><br />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ In our introduction to Biblical research, the first two principles given for approaching God's Word were: (1) Believe what you read and (2) think and be reasonable: you can't throw logic out the window just because you are reading the Bible. Those who can stare a clear scripture in the face and deny what it obviously says because it disagrees with a previously held belief have ceased learning. Likewise, those who can accept two or more contradictory views at the same time will never come to an accurate understanding of God's Word (or of much of anything else for that matter). On the surface, this seems so obvious to most of you (I hope) that you are probably scratching your heads, wondering why I am making an issue of it. As it plays out in practical application, however, relatively few people are completely consistent about this as it pertains to Biblical exegesis. 

As one example, let's look at 2 Corinthians 5:20, a familiar verse for many of us, but have you ever considered the fundamental problem with how the King James and a number of other versions translate this verse?

		<description><![CDATA[ "Biblical research" as the term is used on this blog simply means the study of the Scriptures to gain an accurate understanding of God's Word and thus His will. It involves a lifetime of learning. No few articles on a web site can tell you all you need to know. 

On the other hand, it isn't rocket science. God never intended for his Word to be complicated, intelligible only to a gifted few. He gave His Word so that all men (and women) might know Him. It is supposed to make sense to you from what you can read for yourself. If you are confronted with a doctrine that seems like you would have to be Einstein to be able to understand or Mother Theresa to be able to relate, take a breath and another look. You are probably being fed a line that is not in the Bible. It isn't supposed to be difficult.<br /><div><img src="http://brownbible.com/wp-content/plugins/gd-star-rating/gfx.php?value=4.5" /></div><div>Rating: 4.5/<strong>5</strong> (2 votes cast)</div><br />]]></description>
