NT 16.4 | Paul's Antinomian Problem: How Romans Walks Back Galatians

Paul told the Galatians that the Jewish law was a temporary custodian whose time had passed. His opponents drew the logical conclusion: if the law no longer matters, why not sin freely? In Romans, Paul confronts this antinomian charge three separate times — and in doing so, dramatically shifts how he talks about the law, from 'slavery' and 'obsolete' in Galatians to 'holy, just, and good' in Romans. This video traces the rhetorical and theological distance between Galatians and Romans, examining Paul's baptismal defense against lawlessness, his personification of sin as an autonomous cosmic force, the famous inner conflict of Romans 7, and the unresolved paradoxes that have fueled two thousand years of debate. Key concepts covered: • Antinomianism — the charge that Paul's theology encourages lawlessness • The three separate denials of the antinomian accusation in Romans (3:8, 6:1, 6:15) • Paul's baptismal theology as a mystical rather than logical defense • The dramatic rhetorical shift from Galatians to Romans on the status of the law • Hypostatization of sin — treating sin as a personified cosmic agent that hijacks the law • Romans 7:11-12 and the tension between the law as sin's instrument and the law as holy • The inner conflict of Romans 7 as rhetorical device, not autobiography • Why Paul's letters are occasional documents, not systematic theology • The enduring paradox: the law cannot save, yet the law is holy, just, and good ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SOURCE MATERIALS The source materials for this video are from    • 16. Paul as Jewish Theologian
