Passing Judgment

Paul identifies god in romans as behaving in a way that scandalizes christians who think they are more committed to scripture than are others. When one group is sort of owning a superior identity over another group, god will always side with and identify himself with the shamed and excluded,. marginalized and oppressed groups. The church's main task in romans is to live into its identity as a community of warm hospitality and warm hospitality to the other.
