I. THE BEGINNING OF WAR BETWEEN THE EMPIRES OF PTOLEMY and SELEUCUS II. WHAT THIS HISTORY HAS TO DO WITH GOD'S PEOPLE

It is not uncommon in our churches to find people judging one another. We sometimes call things sins that are not sins because they might go against our "Christian" standard but not God's. We need to be very careful that we do not judge others and condemn them as "sinners" for then we are placing ourselves as equal to God.

I. THE RISE OF PERSIAN EMPIRE II. THE RISE AND DIVISION OF THE GREEK EMPIRE.

By works of the law, we will not be justified. Christ delivers us from sin, converting us in form, character, and function to make us new in character, more like Christ.

Second Bible Study in Romans. Verses 1-17.

No one can glory or brag about our salvation but instead, we should glory in the Lord. Christ became wisdom for us, He upholds all things by the power of His word.

1:13 - Patriarch Kirill of Moscow says Orthodox believers can atone for their sins in literal wartime battle (in this case such as the Russo-Ukrainian War). 3:08 - By What Standard? Is the Eastern Orthodox Church just as infallible as the Holy Scriptures are? Not according to Mark 7:5-7, " 5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?" 6 He answered and said to them, "Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: 'This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. 7 And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'" Eastern Orthodoxy exalts traditions of men over the Holy Scriptures. We should believe in Scripture above Church Tradition and Church Councils. Only Scripture is inspired (2 Tim. 3:16). Tradition is never said to be inspired, and church councils are filled with people who have made mistakes (Matthew 15:1-14). 17:11 - The Triumph of Heterodoxy - In both Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, the veneration of icons and images is an important part of faith and practice. Members of both faiths honor portraits of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and many saints and angels whom they believe are worthy of high honor and reverential respect. They pray to these figures through their images, requesting their intercession before God, and they bow before the images, light candles to them, and offer them incense. Such practices are not called "worship" by those who are performing them and are distinguished from a unique level of adoration due only to God.

Who is eligible for salvation? Who qualifies? Who can ask for it?

Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a completely sinless life, and then was accused and crucified, and yet though His own falsely accused Him the Judge in this case said he seen no fault in this man. Jesus is God in the flesh, and created all the universe and yet came to live like a normal man and yet sinless. So He could be crucified and pay our sin debt. Jesus is our advocate before the Father.

John the Baptizer is an example of godly humility and a symbol of the Old Covenant age that was coming to an end. The dawning of the Kingdom in Christ Jesus was the beginning of Age-Enduring Life.

The questions of where have we come from and where are we going are questions that immeasurable ink has been spilled. These are two of the crucial questions in life and it is to these two questions that Jesus speaks in this portion of John 7. We need to understand Jesus' origin and destination for in understanding His, we understand our own!
