@rootcausesleuth@HwsEleutheroi@The_Idol_Killer first the gentiles are condamned, and then the jews are condamned and in conclusion the whole world stands condamned. Thats the whole point... i mean how much clearer does it need to be?
@rootcausesleuth@HwsEleutheroi@The_Idol_Killer the whole point of romans 1-3 is that the whole world stands condamned before God and can only be saved by grace through faith. How can you not get that? Nowhere does the text even suggest your idea that some may just choose to glorify God and not follow the idols
@rootcausesleuth@HwsEleutheroi@The_Idol_Killer Thats not a serious argument i hope?
They knew Him not in the way we know Him. They knew Him in the sense that all humans by nature have an innate knowledge of Gods existence, hence so many religions, but by nature they supress that knowledge in sin and replace God for idols.
@rootcausesleuth@HwsEleutheroi@The_Idol_Killer oh come on. Its a well documented historical fact that the whole world was pagan from africa to the inca's to the chinese. There is not a shred of evidence for any culture besides the jews following Yahweh.
To seek God you must first know about Him
@rootcausesleuth@HwsEleutheroi@The_Idol_Killer For believing the bible? Nowhere, literally nowhere does the bible suggest anything you believe here.
It seems like you are very close to pelagian or worldly thinking, that man can pretty much save themselves by just being really sincere in believing in some made up god
@rootcausesleuth@HwsEleutheroi@The_Idol_Killer and faith comes by hearing.
they never heard the word of God. No prophet was sent to them. God left them in darkness while he dealth with Israel, His own elect people
@rootcausesleuth@HwsEleutheroi@The_Idol_Killer 1)anyone who did not have the faith of abraham. Which was pretty much all non jews at that time.
2) if people who never heard the gospel in any form will be saved then you increase their chance of going to hell by making them accountable for not believing the gospel you tell them
@rootcausesleuth@HwsEleutheroi@The_Idol_Killer yeah obviously. So apparently you reject salvation by grace through faith alone. clearly the gospel is not really good news then, cause by telling people who could be saved otherwise about Jesus, you now condamned them to the possibility of hell by giving them accountability
