Did Paul oppose the Torah? In this episode, we respond directly to anti-missionary Rabbi Tovia Singer's claims that Paul was antinomian. We walk through the accusations, examine the evidence, and demonstrate from Scripture and history that Paul remained faithful to the Torah and encouraged others to do likewise.Show Notes In this podcast, we address the charge that Paul “detested the Law of Moses.” Rabbi Singer makes this claim in his video, but is it accurate? Using Acts, Galatians, Romans, and insights from early believers like Luke and Peter, we show how this accusation misunderstands Paul's writings. We also explore how twisting Paul's letters into lawlessness leads people into the very error Peter warned against.Scripture Highlights Acts 21:24 Galatians 6:2 Romans 3:31 2 Peter 3:15–17 1 Corinthians 5:8 Acts 15:21 Spiritual Takeaway When we read Paul rightly, we find a man who followed Yeshua and upheld the Torah—not one who taught others to abandon it.

Paul Anticipates ObjectionsRomans 3:1-8Sunday (8-31-25) night's Bible Study
Far too often the gospel is presented without the need for repentance. Rather, the gospel is presented as accepting Jesus as something extra in a person's life. The acceptance of Jesus is the acceptance of life itself. Therefore, it is essential that the need for the gospel, the need for Jesus be presented.

Paul addressed the Jews in his epistle to the Romans. He anticipated their objections to the Gospel of Christ to the Gentiles. Therefore, he stated the objection and emphatically stated the response. Though the unbeleiving Jew could not justify himself, just like the unbelieving church-goer, in the end he only condemns himself.

Welcome to the 11th sermon in our series on what the Bible is all about. Do you really know what the Bible is about? When you understand the point an author is trying to make even the most complicated of books make much more sense. This summer we are going to “stand on the shoulders” of D. A. Carson and his book The God Who is There: Finding Your Place in God's Story as we walk through the big story of Scripture to discuss what the Bible is truly about.
IN THIS EPISODE: "Righteousness Through Faith"
At a crucial juncture in his argument and in the space of two verses Paul uses four terms related to the πιστ- word-group, usually rendered as “faith” or “belief.” Background and the context of Romans favor hearing the ideas of “loyalty” and “faithfulness” in v. 3.

Summary In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley explores Romans 3:21–31. Through Paul's words, we're confronted with the sobering reality that all people are equally sinful and fall short of God's glory. The good news is that God makes sinners righteous, not through human effort, but through His grace, accomplished by the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Dr. Easley walks through Paul's logic, showing how God's righteousness is revealed apart from the Law, through faith in Christ alone. He explains that justification is a gift—completely unearned and undeserved. It was made possible because Jesus bore the wrath we deserved. The cross is not just a moment of forgiveness, but the very place where God's justice and mercy meet. As Dr. Easley explains, this truth dismantles religious pride. There's no room to boast. All have sinned. All need grace. And anyone—Jew or Gentile—can be justified by faith. In a culture that minimizes sin and elevates self, this sermon re-centers believers on God's incredible mercy and the unmatched significance of Christ's finished work. Takeaways Jesus redefined the Law by exposing sin not just in actions, but in the heart. All people, regardless of status or background, are equally sinful before God. God's righteousness is revealed apart from the Law and is accessed by faith alone. Justification is a free gift given through grace, not earned by works. Jesus' sacrifice satisfies God's justice and redeems us from sin's penalty. Because salvation is entirely God's work, there is no room for boasting. To read the book of Romans, click here.

Romans 3 turns attention to the Jewish people who were agreeing with every word Paul had uttered of the depravity among the Gentiles. They, too, were without excuse as they had the Word of God in their midst and yet were just as corrupt. From verses 9-20 Paul advances seven Scriptures supporting this. Then from verses 21-31 he proves that there is only one righteousness, and that on the basis of belief. What is required is a submission to the only way of declaring us to be right with God. This includes a confession that human beings are rightly related to death as we are incurably sinful. Additionally we confess that our Potentate only is righteous and, that He strengthened His Son to accomplish what was humanly impossible. On the basis of the acceptance of these truths and our identification with the Lord Jesus Christ in whom they have been outworked forgiveness of sins is provided. Chapter 4 illustrates that through the lives of David and Abraham there is absolutely nothing we can do to be saved by works ie our own merits. God's condition for forgiveness involves our acceptance of this truth and confession of our failures if we are to receive the blessings of forgiveness and become the inheritors of the promised Kingdom that will be, as verse 13 indicated, international. What is recorded was not for the sakes of those in the recorded Scriptures, but indeed for our sakes.
Romans 3 is critical and transformational teaching about the work of Christ. We are in a section in which Paul profoundly proclaims what Jesus did that changed everything for us.

Summary In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley unpacks the biblical doctrine of sin and humanity's universal need for salvation. He begins by addressing how both the church and culture define “sin,” exposing the world's denial of sin and the believer's need to own it personally: “My sin is the problem.” Drawing on Paul's sweeping argument, Dr. Easley shows that all people—Jew and Gentile alike—are under the power of sin. No one seeks God. No one does good. We are condemned not just by our actions but by our very nature. Dr. Easley walks through Paul's Old Testament citations to demonstrate sin's pervasive reach: we sin against God, with our speech, and through our actions. Even religious privilege, like being entrusted with God's Word, doesn't give immunity from sin's reign. Ultimately, he reminds us that the law exposes our sin but cannot justify us. Only a perfect Savior—Jesus Christ—can rescue us. Takeaways Everyone is a sinner—no one is righteous. Sin isn't just what we do; it's our nature. The law reveals sin but cannot save. We can't stand before God on our own merit. Christ alone makes us righteous by His work. Believing culture's view of sin leads to deception. To read the book of Romans, click here.

How can a sinful person be accepted by a holy God? Justification is a judicial act of God, in which He declares a sinner righteous, not because of the sinner's merit, but because of the righteousness of Christ. By God's grace, this righteousness is imputed to the sinner by faith alone in Jesus Christ. This justification, this Great Exchange, is only possible because the perfect life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Summary In this sermon, Dr. Michael Easley unpacks the challenging theological argument Paul makes in Romans 3:1-8. He begins by exploring the question, “What advantage is there to being a Jew?” Paul acknowledges the Jews' privileged status as recipients of God's oracles, the trustworthy Scriptures, and the covenant people through whom Christ would come. However, Paul also confronts objections regarding human unfaithfulness and God's righteousness. If many Jews are unfaithful, does that mean God is unfaithful? Paul emphatically denies this, asserting that God's faithfulness stands firm even when humans fail. Dr. Easley outlines four key objections Paul addresses: the significance of religion, faithfulness, righteousness, and truth. Some argue that human unrighteousness somehow glorifies God's righteousness, or that sinning more might enhance God's glory. Paul condemns such thinking as blasphemous and dangerous. The heart of the message is that God's righteousness and faithfulness are unchanging, regardless of human failure. Believers today hold the same “oracles of God” in Scripture and in Christ, entrusted with a living Word that calls for faithful response. Dr. Easley challenges listeners to cherish and live out this divine trust faithfully. Takeaways: God entrusted the Jews with His oracles, giving them great religious advantage. Human unfaithfulness never negates God's perfect faithfulness. God's righteousness remains true even when humans are unrighteous. Sinning cannot be justified as a means to glorify God—it is condemned. The gospel reveals the mystery of how God declares sinners righteous in Christ. Believers today are entrusted with the living Word of God, calling for faithful stewardship. To read the book of Romans, click here. Click here for other Michael Easley Sermons.

Paul explains that both Jews and Gentiles are under sin, showing that no one is righteous and that all need God's grace through Jesus Christ. Citing Old Testament scriptures, Paul demonstrates that God has always known humanity could not achieve righteousness through the law. The solution is found in righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, who provides propitiation through His blood. God justifies believers as a gift of grace through Christ's redemption. God's righteousness is on display, as He is just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. In this, all personal boasting is excluded. The Jewish people are special because God chose to reveal scripture through them. For some, this belief led to a mistaken notion that they could sin without fearing judgment from God. However, God is a righteous judge who will punish all those condemned by sin. This serves as a needful lesson for some Christians. Understanding the truth and being part of God's people does not excuse sin. The reality is that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Furthermore, none will be justified by their heritage, church affiliations, or knowledge. God alone is righteous, and He chooses to demonstrate this by granting us redemption as we live by faith in Jesus. We must choose humility over boasting. Holy God, we confess that we have sinned and fallen short of Your glory, and we are completely dependent on Your grace. Thank You for the gift of righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, who redeemed us through His sacrifice. Help us to live humbly, acknowledging that we cannot earn salvation but receive it as Your loving gift. Teach us never to misuse Your grace with willful sin but to choose faithfulness so that we may glorify and praise You with our allegiance. Lead us to someone today who is burdened by their imperfections and in need of Your grace. Thought Questions: - God is patient with His people. Does this mean you can sin as often as you want and be covered by His grace? Why not? - If no one is righteous, and all fall short of God's glory, how do you maintain confidence that He has saved you? Where is your confidence? - Justification is a gift of grace from the righteous Judge. How does your daily life demonstrate your gratitude for this incredible gift?
