The Book of Romans Has Two Parts! This writing presents conclusive evidence that Paul's letter to the Roman church has two parts. Paul wrote directly to the Jews in the first eight chapters and then directly to the Gentiles in the last eight chapters. It was just like Paul said, "...first to the Jews and then to the Gentiles." What difference does it make? A great difference in that the first eight chapters include the teaching of predestination, foreknowledge, and election which apply only to the Jewish believers (remnant). It is as if Paul is addressing both groups "within the room" but speaks directly to the Jews first and then the Gentiles. When we interpret otherwise, we confuse and confound the wonderful gospel message and have to explain the obvious contradiction of election with whosoever will. This writing does not advocate "two track salvation." in that Jew and Gentile alike are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. A key feature is that the author proceeds through key verses in Ephesians, Galatians, the Gospel of John, Thessalonians, Hebrews, Jude and Revelation to substantiate this Two Part Romans (2PR) finding as truth.
