The man is wrong about what he is explaining from Romans 12: 14, ignoring the whole of Paul's letters.

Quoting the bible is pointless. The bible is the claim, not evidence for the claim.

Lets give Romans 12 and 13 a rest for a while and instead take a look at what Jesus himself said during his sermon on the mount. After all as Christians are we not followers of Christ? All scripture in the bible is there to lead us to Jesus. Upon being led to him we can then begin to follow his ways. Jesus is the stumbling block.

Hate to break it to you, Dr. J.D. Greear, but atheism is not a belief, it is a conclusion.

Jesus'coming in the so called GOSPELS are ACCOUNTS of his coming to Only Israel, under the Law of Moses (see Matthew 15:24, 10:5-6, Matthew 3 and Luke 3; Galatians 3-4) in the 69th week of years in Daniel 9. After his rejection by, not everyone, but the Nation, he is murdered by wicked men, sacrificed by God- see Acts 2:22. After his ascension to the Father he sent the Holy Spirit and a new covenant, DIFFERENT than the Mosiac covenant, giving a gospel of salvation by grace through faith, being JUSTIFIED by faith, not laws for righteousness, which Israel was under until Jesus the ANOINTED ONE shed his blood, one since then is to be born again upon belief in The Lord- see Deuteronomy 6:25; Romans 3:20-26, 6:14; 1 Corinthians 15:44-53; 2 Corinthians 5; Ephesians 1:13. For a Christian to know the who, what, when, where, and why of our life in Christ, we go to the Epistles addressed to the body of Christ SPECIFICALLY under grace not law, JESUS THE ANOINTED ONE addressing US UNDER GRACE BY his disciples, by the Holy Spirit, see the book of ACTS; REVELATION 1-5; 1 John 1-5; 1 and 2 Thessalonians; 1 and 2 Timothy; Titus; Galatians 2-5. Before God's wrath is poured out on the wicked on earth during Daniels 70th week of years in Daniel 9, God is addressing ALL OF MANKIND AND THOSE WHO BELIEVE ARE rescued/saved, being JUSTIFIED by faith. see Acts 17:30-31, 4:12. Most Christians do NOT UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE gospels and The epistles. Jesus was not addressing the body of Christ in the Gospels, he IS addressing us in the EPISTLES ADDRESSED TO THE BODY OF CHRIST SPECIFICALLY. We have the gospel ACCOUNTS AND HEBREW SCRIPTURES for knowing God's plan from GENESIS TO REVELATION with plain language and for examples of the character of God and his will for individuals, and groups of peoples through the times from GENESIS TO REVELATION, including rescuing them from their sins to justify them if they will believe God when he sends his prophets, including those of Israel and Jesus sending his disciples, under entirely different covenants and provision for those not given a specific covenant- see Romans 1- 2; Ephesians 2; Exodus 19.

I lost it when Dr. J.D. Greear grabbed his ancient book of fairytales! ahahahaha "Hey guys! Look! It says right here in the bible, so It must be true!" Greear, my dude, doesn't seem to understand that the bible is the claim, not evidence for the claim.
