Explain This (series): ROMANS (2 of 4)

“Enemy As the Head of the Faith” Some Christians whole-heartedly believe that spiritual gifts come from one of three heavenly parties. Let me explain: we are either “servants of Christ Jesus,” “under the influence of the Holy Spirit,” or “given the supernatural powers of God.” When spiritual gifts are claimed, we believe in these powers, but only in the moment. Because as you’ll see throughout the “Explain This” series, humans have become absolutely eager to take credit for divine intervention, and equally adamant about displacing the authority of the Heavens, when it’s time to be accountable for our mortal words and actions. Why are we so easily moved? How do we claim to worship, while simultaneously blaming the Divine when life goes awry? Many of you may say, “that doesn’t include me,” or “my faith never falters.” Ah! Faith in what? The “holy trinity?” Your faith does not rest only in our supreme God..? The gifts each Christian claims.. only exist while “under the influence” of the Holy Spirit? Or through his (JC’s) death, each “saved sinner” is guaranteed a seat in Heaven? Your faith is tested when miracles are found to be the catalyst of your good fortune. When prophetic individuals tell you that you need no savior, that supreme deities don’t author tomes of bullshyt, & that the Holy Spirit is divinely supreme, so has no foe or alternate destination upon our death? Well that person is obviously lying. The book of Romans intimates that gifts are given, as well as taken, on a whim. And the Christian’s faith in their fellow man, is the basis of all belief in the power of supernatural intervention. **Episode art includes image results from the following Google searches: “the book of Romans,” and “the Romans.”**
