That which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
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:
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.
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
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.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
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.
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:
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.
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;
Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
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
This is God, speaking through the Apostle Paul in Romans chapter one.
I think it speaks for itself, ignoring God is dangerous!
This reminds me of a common question: "How can God send a remote tribesman to hell if he has never heard of Jesus and his salvation?" This portion of scripture makes it clear that God presents Himself through nature and some decide to worship the creation rather than the creator. Honestly, it speaks for itself. The interesting thing is rejecting God changes ones personality. It doesn't talk about demons in particular but I think it is an obvious deduction that when we reject God we are vulnerable to spirits other than the Holy Spirit.
Please feel free to resteem if you think this is helpful. I would love an upvote and for you to follow me if you are a fan of scriptural information. If you wonder about anything about God, ask me in a comment and I will dig up the passages that apply and make a post of it. Have a great day!
