15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)
I don't know all the theology but this says to me that every person has the chance to know God and believe even if they haven't had the opportunity to read the bible or hear a message. We have a morale compass that is written on our hearts by God. Its really a gift I would say, without it we would be like every other animal.
no great take, just an observation.

I like your take. I think it is significant.
ReplyDeleteI also take a lot from the first half of the chapter. He is talking about judging others and the implications on how we are judged. That one hits me hard. I can't tell you how often thoughts of judgment come into my mind and sometimes come out of my mouth. It seems to be a gift or talent that I have. I'm really good at it. (haha) especially in the realm of humor. I can look at someone and make you laugh in about 4 seconds, just by cutting them down in some way. Every-time I do it, it not only hurts my relationship with God, but his plan.
NOT GOOD, TODD!
i can totally relate to that one
