The answer is always B - 9/26/08 - "The Gospel and Righteousness"

It's been a while since I've done one of these ever-so-difficult multiple-choice pop quizzes.

What is the correct wording of Romans 1:16-17?

A. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, especially for those who try harder to live right. For in it man's righteousness becomes even better; as it is written, "The just shall live by trying to be just."

B. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

C. Is Billy Joel Keeping the Faith? ;)

  1. I try to make it easy for people, because I know these pop quizzes are very, very difficult. In my series of posts entitled "The answer is always B," yes, the answer is always B. =D

  2. I'm not sure. A feels right sometimes. Like today. I need to do stuff man. I feel like signing a card to re-dedicate my life.

  3. I with M. D. on this - I want to re-dead-ick-ate my life once again and was wondering if you could re-baptise this lowly sinner once again.

    I promise to read my Bible more . . .and also send more money to my spiritual leader the Very Reverend Slick

  5. Joel,
    The answer is "B."

    By the way, I loved the video. Ha ha ha! Look at everyone's clothes and hair! I remember looking like that back in the 80's! Ha! Loved the song he sang in the courtroom. Thanks for the laughs!

    Blessings,

  6. To everyone who said "A." You bunch of heathens and/or self-righteous fools! You get an "F" for effort. ;)

    RJW,

    Billy indeed is one righteous dude!

    Amy,

    Yeah I remember all of those clothes and hairstyles, etc. All I need to do to be reminded of it is to open one of my high school year books! Man, what were we thinking... :)

    I like the video too. I loved the cameo appearances from Joe Piscopo and Christie Brinkly, who was Billy's wife at the time. Seems like she was in several of his videos.
