If you want to learn about the book of Romans, READ the book of Romans. If you want to watch a youtube presentation of another human being's thoughts and opinions on the book of Romans, do so with this understanding, and have YOUR OWN copy of the Word with you at all times. Especially in today’s world.

The Bible is God placing His Word in your hands, and inviting you to get to know Him, without the requirement of another human being to interpret it for you (as if it needed to be).

Jesus answered him, “I have spoken openly to the world. I have always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all Jews come together. I have said nothing in secret."
📜 John 18:20

This isn't to suggest God doesn't empower and equip people into his service, and in His Church. These folks are here to support and encourage you in your growing relationship with Jesus. Yet, consider that the Bereans in Macedonia were admonished for comparing the Word against the teaching of Paul himself:

Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so.
📜 Acts 17:11
