So the answer is EVERYBODY holds the truth in unrighteousness until God removes the scales from our eyes. That's what I'm getting out of everyone's correspondence. So all of the atheist, evolutionist and such like make a conscious effort to disprove God for whatever reason all the while knowing within themselves that there is a creator because of our existence and all things made? They're not necessarily blinded, but vindictive or turned off by the idea of God for whatever reason. Is this syllogism correct?; They are not being deceive, but just deceiving themselves?
IndianBob brings up an interesting point in regards to those who don't possess the mental capacity to understand God through creation. I hear the question all the time why would God create so many people with various dysfunctions and state He's not a respecter of persons? Could it be to prove just that, that responsibility lies with Him and not us? [i.e. A person is born without the ability to comprehend and is given a free pass into Heaven because of their dysfunction, but on the other hand a person is born who's IQ is off the charts and is condemned because of their negligence of God. The argument of the intelligent person would be I would've rather been created mentally deprived and go to heaven than to be intelligent and go to hell.] But since God is responsible for everyone knowing the truth it doesn't matter if you're a genius in this eon or not. Since God is NOT a respecter of persons He's going to make sure we all learn righteousness. All responses welcome
