18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualitieshis eternal power and divine naturehave been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.
24Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creatorwho is forever praised. Amen.
26Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
28Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
~Romans 1
All men know there who the one true God is enough to hate him and rebel against him.
Everyone's always talking about the good atheist. You always hear it, "Is the good atheist going to heaven?" And I always have to say, "Of course so!" All the conservative Christians get kind of spooky when that's said... until I explain myself... I ask the person asking the questions, "Hey by the way, what's the name of this good atheist? do you have his telephone number? Uhh... Can I have his address?" *No Response* "You see, that's precisely my point, he's a figment of your imagination, a good atheist doesn't exist."
Let me ask you a question. There's an atheist in Georgia who has an enemy in Chicago. Now, he finds out his enemy is dying from this terrible sickness. Now the only thing that can cure this disease is if you get the man a special kind of broth that you get from boiling down this certain type of tree. But this tree is really expensive. Like $100,000. So the Atheist in Georgia sells everything he has to buy the tree. He boils it down, and crawls through a snowstorm on his knees in broken glass to get to Chicago. When he gets to Chicago he gives the broth to his enemy and he's healed.
Now, is that a good thing or sin? Everyone usually says, well that's a good moral thing. And I have to say, "No! It is sin!" You see sin isn't sin because of what it does to men, but the relationship it has with God. The atheist did not do that for God's glory. And, if the atheist did do anything positive it was by the common grace that God has given to all and the atheist would then be taking credit for something God did, which is sin.
The Bible says whatever you do, whether you eat or drink do it all for the glory of God!
This is truth, just plain simple truth. I'm not some weird crazy lunatic. I just actually believe what the Bible says unlike many of the so called "Christians" in this country. The Bible really is true, and truth is all we have.
