Title: Blinded
Post by: Craig on November 20, 2006, 03:31:56 PM
Hi Ray,
 
I read your series of Lake of Fire, I think is chapter 8 so far. I don't read fast. Anyway,
About blinded people in spiritual and they cannot help it because they are deceived. I found Romans 1:20,
 
Romans 1:20 KJV
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
I am not sure understand. Is that mean God removed person's spiritual blinded and see the profound truth with understanding then he go back where he was before like sinning or back to Babylon, then he is no excused because his spiritual has been removed?
 
Thanks!

Dear Brett:  A better translation of "without excuse" would be "defenseless."  They cannot "defend" their actions based on what they themselves have seen.  All mankind as looked at the heavens, and the earth, and the animals, and the tries, and human life, and saw how marvelous all these things are. What man could climb or fly to the stars?  What man can make an elephant?  What man can create a mountain several miles high?  What man can create another man? What man can make a tree?  What man can produce his own food from the soil?  Man has observed these many marvels all through history. Obviously not one of them could ever conceive of accomplishing such things as they see, and yet....AND YET, he has refused to worship the Great God Who has made all these things, and instead worships other men as weak as himself, or worse, he worships birds, and reptiles, and sticks and stones.  There is no defense for attributing creation to one of the tiny tiny elements OF creation.  And yes, they have all been deceived, but yet, even being deceived, they are "DEFENSELESS" for their actions.
God be with you,
Ray
