Absurdities in Romans
- Atheists have dark and foolish hearts. 1:21
- Paul asks the very good question: "Is there unrighteousness who taketh vengeance [upon innocent people]?" The
obvious answer to this is, yes. Paul then quickly adds, "I speak as a man." What else could he speak as? A donkey or a
god, perhaps? 3:5
- Paul says that Abraham needed God's help to father Isaac when he was 100 years old. But Abraham, when he was
even older, managed to father six more children with a new wife without any divine assistance
(Gen.21:2, 25:1-2). 4:19
- The guilty are "justified" and "saved from wrath" by the blood of an innocent victim.
5:9
- God punishes everyone for someone else's sin; then he saves them by killing an innocent victim.
5:12
- God gave the law so "that the offence might abound." 5:20
- There is nothing good about Paul. 7:18
- God intercedes with God by talking to, and sometimes even arguing with, himself.
8:27
- "All things work together for good to them that love God."
One of the greatest and most absurd lies in all of scripture. 8:28
- Paul says that everyone, even in his day, had the gospel preached to them. Even the Native Americans, Asians,
Pacific Islanders? 10:18
- "Rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil."
If you behave yourself, no king or government will mistreat you. 13:3
- It is wrong to borrow money. 13:8
- Only wimps are vegetarians. 14:2
