| NolSinkler said: The argument falls apart at point three. God is open to relationship with each human person. "Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7) Accordingly, any human person seeking the Truth shall find God; this implies more than 'non-resistance'. "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9) We see here the necessity that we should come to repentance. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) God has already revealed Himself to mankind. "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them." (Romans 1:18-19) Indeed, God shows all men the Truth. Conclusion: If we seek the Truth, we shall find God, a God who has revealed Himself to mankind and so shall reveal Himself to you. In fact, God shows all men the Truth. In understanding who God is, then, we are tasked with Repentance. Being 'non-resistant' is no excuse, because even to you "what may be known of God is manifest". |
Everyone does not have an opportunity to know the truth of God since many people are never told of him. It's impossible for them to seek something they never heard of.
What do you mean by "Because that which may be know of God is manifest in them", and how do we know it's true?
