Romans 2

As Paul writes to both the Christian Jew and Gentile converts, I note two important doctrines. The first being the same doctrine Mormon taught -

"...behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil..." (Book of Mormon | Moroni 7:16)

Paul also told the Romans -

"...For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another..." (New Testament | Romans 2:13 - 15)

It seems clear to me that everyman is given a light, conscience or sense of that which is right and has the burden to seek out truth, light, and righteousness to the best of their ability.

Throughout generations, the Lord has provided instruction or laws to help his children keep in remembrance there sacred covenants and obligations. Some being "Saving" ordinances or laws while others are provided to keep in remembrance. After all the conflict witht he Jews and gentiles concerning circumcision, Paul said to the Roman Jews -

"For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision.
26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God." (New Testament | Romans 2:25 - 29)

Paul is teaching that we have to be very careful with traditions of remembrance. These traditions are not saving traditions. Our true obligation is obedience -

"...and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God." (New Testament | Romans 2:29)

In other words -

"If ye love me, keep my commandments." (New Testament | John 14:15)
