'Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time His righteousness: that He might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in...

Hello @Doug, I have decided to work through your points one at a time:- * As you know Paul was constantly having to defend not only his Apostleship, but also the gospel that He preached: so his use of the words, 'my gospel' is not so very strange: especially in the light of the fact that there...
