Romans 2:1 exists in Vince's mind merely to sanctify his use of the "I know you are, but what am I?" retort.
Of course, the actual context of Romans 2 is that of that of self-righteous Jews who find the practices of the Gentiles abhorrent. No doubt as they read what Paul had written about the pagans in chapter 1, they would have nodded right along.
Of course, that's when Paul turns the tables on them. They aren't off the hook. They're guilty as well, because they boast in the Law of Moses, but break it in many ways. By chapter 3, of course, we know that "all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" - Jew and pagan alike.
As long as Vince Massi continues to abuse God's Word by treating Romans 2:1 as a holy version of a childish taunt, he is a false teacher who shows gross disrespect to the Scriptures.
Let him defend his misuse of this verse exegetically--if he is capable.
