Ken Corkins and pastor Rocky Ellison continue their Romans study switching from the NLT to the Revised Standard Version for its academic clarity. Covering Romans 3:1–8, they connect Paul’s argument from chapter 2 about who is truly a Jew—those who do God’s will—and ask what advantage being Jewish has. Paul’s main answer is that Jews were entrusted with the “oracles of God,” meaning God’s written words (debated as the whole Old Testament versus the Ten Commandments), and the hosts note “entrusted” implies responsibility to share it. They discuss how God’s fairness implies judgment applies to Jews and Gentiles alike, meaning some Jews may not be saved and some Gentiles may be. They then explain Paul’s attack on the heresy of antinomianism: the claim that doing more evil makes God look more forgiving, which Paul rejects. 

Ken notes a one-week break before the next episode.
