"Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." -- Romans 14:5

Romans Highlights

"The wrath of God" is on all unbelievers. 1:18-20
The existence and nature of God are self-evident; thus, unbelievers are "without excuse." 1:20
God abandons those who don't know him to "uncleanness and vile affections." 1:24-26
With his usual intolerance, Paul condemns homosexuals. 1:24-26
Paul explains that "the natural use" of women is to act as sexual objects for the pleasure of men. 1:27
Homosexuals (those "without natural affection") and their supporters (those "that have pleasure in them") are "worthy of death." 1:31-32
Paul asks the very good question: "Is there unrighteousness who taketh vengeance [upon innocent people]?" The obvious answer to this is, yes. 3:5
God gave the law so "that the offence might abound." 5:20
Everyone is predestined by God to be either saved or damned; they can do nothing to affect their final destiny. 8:29-30
No one can oppose Christians since God is on their side. 8:31
A Christian cannot be accused of any wrongdoing. 8:33
God makes some people that are destined to go to heaven and others that will go to hell. There is nothing that they can do to change the will of God. 9:11-12
God blinded the Jews so they wouldn't recognize Jesus as the Messiah. 11:7-10
"The powers that be are ordained of God." Whoever resists them will be damned. 13:1-4
Only wimps are vegetarians. 14:2
For once Paul gives good advice: "Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind." 14:5
"He that doubteth is damned ... Whosoever is not of faith is sin." 14:23
Shun those who disagree with your religious views. 16:17
