It's a spiritual experience bro. I used to be an egotistical know it all atheist. Then I had a spiritual experience and repented to God.

And Paul is saying that they are without excuse because they arenot actually ignorantto the true nature of God (20). Further, this is because the truth about God is obvious and placed within their heart/mind andnot learned in a book(19-20).

Spoiler!They actually know right from wrong. But, they are too proud and too stubborn so they pretend God is some "corruptible thing", like a giant mammoth or whatever. It doesn't matter what idol they choose, the point is always the same - the thing that they say is God is something that doesn't distinguish right from wrong in the way that the "uncorruptible God" does (23). The end goal is so that you can define what is right/wrong for yourself (see pregnant man emoji).

Spoiler!Worshipping idols/"false prophets" is not about sacrificing your goats on the wrong color altar. It's about rejecting the truth about God that you already know.

He does exist brah

Don't just quote scripture. Explain to me like i'm 10 years old, how a tribe that is completely cut off from the world with no means of ever being in contact or knowing anything about christianity, somehowknowsabout a religion of Abraham and actively chooses not to follow it.

What I'm trying to get across is that the Bible itself is saying that you do not need to read it to know God. In those verses, Paul is making a similar argument to the one I tried to make earlier:

1. Right and wrong are determined by the nature of God, the creator of the all things.
2. Everyone knows right from wrong.
3. Therefore, God must have placed the knowledge of right and wrong within everyone.
4. They(all sinners, not just remote tribal people) want to do what is wrong, so they reject what they already know about God (his nature aka morality) and replace it with an idol which has a corruptible/changeable nature unlike God.

As example, instead of saying that God created everything - I will say that some uncaring, random force is the cause of all of the universe and the order within it - including all the morality that I cannot bring myself to deny. Even though the moral truths are more real and undeniable than the random force, I want to have the random force be the foundation of everything so that I can ignore the morality which I know to be true.

Think about what is occurring in the mind. I already have an undeniable starting point for reality. That is - I know 100% that there is a right and a wrong and it is not a matter of opinion. Instead of working from that foundation... instead of saying that whatever created everything is like THAT (perfectly morally good, always) - I'm going to say that whatever created everything is completely unconcerned with the one thing that I know for sure (right and wrong).


Now, I think a question you will have at this point is, "Isn't there more to the God of the Bible than right and wrong?" And, I would say the answer is"NO".

Knowing that Jesus is the son of God is not about picking a specific Jewish man out of a lineup. It is about knowing that what Jesus is saying and doing isgood. Further, he is soperfectly morally goodthat his goodness is, in fact, that same undeniablyTRUEmorality that I have always known, but suppressed, ignored, and rejected.Here, we need to transition from using the phrase "doing good" to using the word "love".In verse 9, Paul basically says "Hey buddy, those commandments you're so hung up on? It's a long way of saying 'love your neighbor as yourself'." Literally, the entire law of God is about loving each other.

Jesus says the same things to the Jewish leaders. Calling them hypocrites for twisting the laws of God into something that hates people instead of something that loves them:

lmfao @ delusion

Yeah God makes kids get raped and die of cancer and chit or get bombed by Israelis because reasons. LMFAO. This is why every atheist needs to purge the religious. They are a blight upon this Earth that defends injustice and apologizes for atrocity. There are no deities or guides. Justice is made by human hands, drenched in human blood. There is no "order" to society or the universe beyond that of mathematical law, which is as cold, cruel, and godless as can be.

ok rabbi

rabbis believe in god, rabbi
