Romans is awful good!
But also Matthew 5 has to be understood. Jesus tells us how impossible it is for us to live by those commandments. Which ought to bring us to him in repentance.
Here's Romans:
Romans 3
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
31Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
And then there is Galatians 2:
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
There are actually many places where we are told that we are sinners. It doesn't stop, but only how God sees us, wither forgiven through his Son Jesus, or not forgiven. Such is the message of trust in God through Christ.

The book of Romans explains that we are not under the law anymore. It explains that Christians are living under the Grace of God now. Since God sent his Son to die on the cross. He actually used his wrath on his own Son and killed him on the cross in place of all of us!!!! Jesus died on the cross and took our place. He died for our sins so we wouldn't have to. That is why we dont go by the 10 commandments any more. We couldn't follow it back in the old testament and we sure can't follow it today, Look at the way the world is now! Thank you Jesus for dieing for us! Now all we have to do is come to him and ask him to be our Saviour and repent of our sinsand turn to him and try to live a holy life for God. That is basicly what the book of Romans is about. Narrow is the path and the only way we will get to heaven is through Jesus Christ. That is the Only Way...

Romans is in the New Testament, first off. I would recommend Romans as the first Bible study you do. As far as the Decalouge is concerned, it shows you its purpose(s)--which I can guarantee you will be shocked by. Read Chapter 3 quick.

Romans is a great book to read about how salvation was brought to us through Jesus Christ and how He has saved us by His grace, and we are no longer under the law. But that the Law ( 10 commandments) is to show us our sin, so we can acknowledge we have sinned against God- it is like a schoolmaster to show us we have sinned against God. Romans is a great book! Helps you understand WHY you need Jesus!

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments” - Matthew 22:37-40

I'm not a big fan of Paul nor his interpretations.
I tend to follow Jesus and he saved Mary Magedline, accused of being a fornicator, from stoning and took her in and let her tend to him.
That's a far cry from Paul in Corinthians saying not to fratranized with fornicators.
If Jesus can do it, anyone can do it.
Jesus was obvioiusly in violation of Paul's dissertation in Corthinians.
Jesus kept the company of at least one fornicator, even if they be an ex-fornicator.

Yes. Romans is pretty much the book of doctrine. The backbone of doctrine, you might say.

How they work? You either think they're worth following or you don't. End of story. Personally, I think some are worthwhile and others are pointless and archaic.
