The intent of this study is not to comment on the Roman Epistle verse by verse, but to address the sections where the Apostle cites the Old Testament as reference.

The Christ centered introduction that Paul writes of in Romans 1:2, referencing the gospel promise coming 'through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures', does not limit his Old Testament use to just the prophets, the references show that he considers all the Old Testament as the Word of God.

The sacred writings the Christian Church accepted today as God's revelation are the same as the Apostle accepted and are authoritative. They are the 'Words of God' and have the final say on matters of the Christian Religion. Not to view the Scriptures in this light, puts anyone at odds with the sacred writings and the Lord Himself.
