Romans 1

Paul the Apostle was a complex man that spoke to Christians about things hard to understand. Between 44 and 48 CE Jerusalem was hit hard by a depression. Paul who was Rhomaios and others were consistently able to collect food and funds to help the needy in a daily ministration of Pure Religion across international boundaries through a network of early Christian communities meeting in local free assemblies according to the pattern that was commanded by Christ. This system of fervent charity was the table of the Lord which provided for the welfare of the people through the Corban of Christ which made the word of God to effect. This peculiar system was not like the legal charity of the world which was a snare, nor the Corban of the Pharisees.

A theme of this Chapter is what happens if anyone creates a false image of Christ and worship that imagined Christ rather than the true Christ. You may think you are a believer but are not.^[1]
Also institutions can e created like we see in v25 become idols and seduce people int covetous practices. The socialist state can be a substitute for Religion. It may creep in with small programs where men who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other cause the people to curse children, make themselves merchandise through the covetous practices at their neighbors' expense.
Even Polybius and all the prophets and the Apostles have warned the masses about this degeneration of society because they become covetous and bite one another until they are snared and devoured by the yoke of bondage.
Christ came to set us free as Abraham and Moses did. We were never to return to the bondage of Egypt.^[2]
It was the free bread of the legal charity of civil authority through public religion that brought Rome to corruption and destruction. But the kingdom of God was not of the world of Rome whose temples provide their daily bread through force, fear and fealty.
The Church appointed by Christ was not of the world but operated by the perfect law of liberty providing Bread from house to house in Pure Religion through faith, hope and charity.
V25 The word creature from ktisis in the Greek is translated “ordinance” once in the Bible. It is translated creature or creation 17 times. It is defined as ”the act of founding, establishing”. In Mark 16:15 we are told to “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature [institution of mankind]”. People are literally worshiping the governments they institute because the modern Church has failed to preach the Gospel of the kingdom.
V26 What is the natural use but a "use" or practice or "conversation" which is antagonistic to Natural law and Right Reason which is the Will of God?
V28 v 24 "'Wherefore God also gave them up "' The phrase "gave them up" from "παρέδωκεν] expresses the real active giving up on the part of God." according to Meyer's NT Commentary. The same idea is repeated in Romans 1:28. This is because they have created a false Christ in their minds and engage in idolatry. God does not make men sin any more than gravity kills a jumper. A man when he jumps off a building will be pushed or pulled toward the ground until he hits the side walk. Gravity did not kill him nor the fall. Neither the side walk nor the building murdered him. He killed himself when he leaped although the death was to come later. He will probably change his mind on the way down.
V29 Wickedness is also an issue^[3]
"Many" people who think they are Christians and saved, according to Christ, are merely under a strong delusion because they believe in an image of Christ that is false. They are actually workers of iniquity and they do not know it because their conscience is seared.
Starting in V28 God gives people over to their reprobate minds and has a long list here and in other epistles of people that are not suitable for the kingdom or your company.

Romans 1

Prologue and introduction

1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle,7 separated unto the gospel of God,

2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord,8 which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

4 And declared to be the Son of God with power,9 according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

5 By whom we have received grace10 and apostleship, for obedience11 to the faith12 among all nations,13 for his name:

6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace14 from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer of Thanksgiving - And believe

8 ¶ First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers;

10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

12 That is, that I may be comforted together16 with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,)that I might have some fruit17 among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise.

15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

Righteousness of God and Salvation in Christ

16 ¶ For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power [dunamis] of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.^[4]^[5]

17 For therein is the righteousness of God^[6] revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

The judgment of God

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness^[7] of men, who hold the truth^[8] in unrighteousness;^[6]

19 ¶ Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed [it] unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,^[9]

23 And changed^[10] the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. [symbols of power establish by covenants]

24 Wherefore God also gave them up^[11] to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: [stepping out of the presence of God= adds subjectivity]

25 Who changed^[12] the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature^[13] more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change^[12] the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Ezekiel 16:49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication [metaph. the worship of idols ], wickedness[evil purposes and desires]^[14], covetousness^[15], maliciousness^[16]; full of envy^[17], murder^[18], debate^[19], deceit^[20], malignity^[21]; whisperers^[22],

30 Backbiters[defamer]^[23], haters of God,^[24] despiteful^[25], proud^[26], boasters^[27], inventors[ contriver] of evil things^[28], disobedient^[29] to parents,

31 Without understanding^[30], covenantbreakers^[31], without natural affection[unsociable]^[32], implacable[without a treaty or covenant ]^[33], unmerciful^[34]:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Matthew 5:19 "Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."

Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."
