Creature or Creator?

Rom 1:18  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness

The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against- ALL ungodliness.

The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against- ALL unrighteousness (wrongs) of men.

The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against- ALL who hold (keep back) the truth in unrighteousness (wrongly)

Rom 1:19  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

If we keep back the truth we are shown by God we are accountable for that!  All who are given truth are accountable to the truth.  When we reject truth, when we hide truth we do so in unrighteousness.

Rom 1:20  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:

We can understand so much of the invisible by the visible. From the very beginning of our world the invisible and visible were revealed. God spoke(invisible) and things existed(visible).  Truly we can comprehend the eternal power of the Godhead- of God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and we have NO excuse for not comprehending God's existence, none.

Rom 1:21  Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Rom 1:22  Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Rom 1:23  And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

Yet even in this comprehension mankind could CHOOSE not to glorify God, because God did not force the comprehension. Mankind knowing God could choose not to be thankful to God. Mankind could choose to believe in their OWN imaginings rather than God's truth. Mankind could choose to believe they were the wise ones in their beliefs, in their imaginings, only be truly fools. Mankind could choose to believe that our UNCORRUPTIBLE God's glory could be on the same level as CORRUPTIBLE mankind. Mankind could choose to make birds, beasts, and creeping things their god. FOOLS!

Rom 1:24  Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves

God will not FORCE those who choose to be fools who follow their OWN heart lusts, to believe in Him as their God.

God will not FORCE those who choose to dishonor themselves with each other, to believe in Him as their God.

Rom 1:25  Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

God will NOT force love, God will NOT force worship, God will NOT force obedience, God will NOT force belief from all those who CHANGE the truth of God into a LIE- and choose rather to believe themselves more than their blessed forever Creator!

If a person wants to be forced to believe they lose the entire comprehension of believing in faith. It is EASY for mankind to put themselves on the pedestal of creation, believing that they evolved of their own accord into what they are with no outside help. It's easier to simply believe they are the highest and there is NO other over them, than to believe they have a CREATOR.  When mankind chooses to believe there is NO Creator then they are freed from obedience to a Creator and are allowed to do as they please, make up their own rules, their own ways.  When mankind chooses to give up on God, He will LET THEM, and HE will allow them to rule themselves and as a result there is NO limit to what they will do, there are NO boundaries any longer, none whatsoever and therefore they are FREE to call whatever they desire- good, even the worst of all evils should they choose to deem it such. They have NO standards, NO rules, NO boundaries, NO right and NO wrong and this is how they choose to live WITHOUT GOD, they rule themselves and there are consequences to all actions.

Rom 1:26  For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Rom 1:27  And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Mankind wishes to believe THEIR desires, THEIR lusts are their rights and just because they have them they are good. Mankind believing in Mankind. Mankind LOVING the CREATURE more than the CREATOR. A choice that is made when self is indulged and it doesn't matter the LUST they are ALL LUSTS, ALL self-serving over God-serving, believing SELF is greater than GOD.  A choice- SELF or GOD, we truly cannot have both!  We can serve self and tell ourselves we can have both, we can make ourselves believe this, God will LET us believe whatever we CHOOSE to believe. 

Rom 1:28  And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Rom 1:29  Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Rom 1:30  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Rom 1:31  Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Rom 1:32  Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

SELF-seekers will allow all sorts of sin in their lives. Self-seekers can allow a single sin or a multitude, but as long as they cling to that sin- calling it good and allow themselves to serve self over truth for WHATEVER reason they choose to believe to pacify their choice, they are deserving of eternal death.

God FIRST, not self first.  God first in ALL things!

May we retain God in our KNOWLEDGE by HIS GRACE and MERCY!  May we choose GOD over SELF, no matter the sacrifice we are called to make.  PLEASE, may we CHOOSE GOD!

Please.

In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, now and forever and ever!

Amen!
