Second Street Presbyterian Church

Paul is writing again, Romans nine one, I am speaking the truth in Christ. I am not lying. My conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit that I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my brothers, my kinsmen according to the flesh. So don't miss the play on words of being cut off from Christ, but also being accursed, anathema, anathema opposed to the covenants being cut off.
