It is foolish to take any one verse and make an argument solely on that one verse.
God is no respecter of persons as to judgement For God iis neither moved by riches or poverty but will always make righteous judgment. Romans 2:11 has to eb taken in context of what goes before and after it.
"Tribulation,and anguish,upon every soul of man that doeth evil, Of the Jew first and also of the gentiles;but glory and honour and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first then the gentile; FOR THERE IS NO RESPECTOR OF PERSONS WITH GOD (be he Jew or gentile) for as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law ;for not the hearers of the law are just before God,but the doers of the law shall be justified"
The whole verse makes quite a bit of difference .
In truth did not God have respect unto Abels offering and had no respect for cains?
Do you think God makes no difference between Paul say and the repentant thief?
Not in judgment and salvation none. But in works and life the rewards are quite different .
Did no the Lord separate Peter ,James and John from the rest of the disciples ?
There commitment was more wholehearted and their walk was much closer to the Lord thus they saw and heard things the others did not and when in the garden of gethsemanee they "went a little further " too
The Bible is full of people God had respect for and others he had none .
and you can see why.
Ahab and Jehospehat is a very good example. and it was because Jehosephat had done so much good (in Gods eyes)before that his life was spared .
Be careful who you align yourself with and seek a unity with when it is at the expense of truth .
God is a respecter of persons
They that honour me I will hnour says the Lord.
It follows that they who do not are not.
in Christ
