17 [/SUP]For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
[SUP]
18 [/SUP]For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
[SUP]
19 [/SUP]Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
[SUP]
20 [/SUP]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:
[SUP]
21 [/SUP]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.
[SUP]
22 [/SUP]Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
[SUP]
23 [/SUP]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.
This is the universal law whether people have heard the word of God,or not,and applies to everyone from the time of Adam and Eve,until God puts down the beast kingdom.
Creation testifies of a higher power,and His attributes,the Godhead,that He is wise,intelligent,powerful,and loving towards people,for He provided food,and the means to make clothing,and shelter,so since this higher power loves people,and created all things,then people should love each other,and obey this higher power in this fashion.
Which this universal law,is love works no ill towards their neighbor;therefore love is the fulfilling of the law,love people,for if a person loves people they will surely love God,for there is no one that can love people perfectly without believing in a higher power,whether they heard the word of God or not.
But of course a person that has heard the truth has an advantage over those that have heard not,which the Bible says the Jews had the advantage for the words of God were given to them,but all people will be judged on how they loved people,and the universal law nobody can escape from,whether they heard the word of God or not.
It appears as if people will look to a higher power if they are not influenced by anything contrary to it,for the Bible says when they knew God they did not want to believe that a higher power created all things,but wanted to believe things came about in a different fashion,by the process of nature,natural,which that belief will come later in life,if they are not influenced by anything else as a child.Our first reaction will be there is a higher power,and they knew God for creation testifies of Him,and His love towards people.

21 [/SUP]Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
[SUP]
22 [/SUP]Let them bring them forth, and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.
[SUP]
23 [/SUP]Shew the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea, do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
[SUP]
24 [/SUP]Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought: an abomination is he that chooseth you.
[SUP]
25 [/SUP]I have raised up one from the north, and he shall come: from the rising of the sun shall he call upon my name: and he shall come upon princes as upon morter, and as the potter treadeth clay.
[SUP]
26 [/SUP]Who hath declared from the beginning, that we may know? and beforetime, that we may say, He is righteous? yea, there is none that sheweth, yea, there is none that declareth, yea, there is none that heareth your words.
[SUP]
27 [/SUP]The first shall say to Zion, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings.
[SUP]
28 [/SUP]For I beheld, and there was no man; even among them, and there was no counsellor, that, when I asked of them, could answer a word.
[SUP]
29 [/SUP]Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion.
God challenges all people,and religions,to prove that their God is true,by showing the end from the beginning,which God told the whole history of mankind,and even what is going to happen in the future concerning the world,that they will come together and rebel against God,which we can see it is going according to plan on the world's part,which God told us.
God said no other person,or religion,will be able to do this,proving that He is the one true God.
Also miracles will testify that God is true,but there is a lot of hypocrisy,and wrongful beliefs,that is hindering that happening,because a lack of the Spirit working among people.
Jesus said when He comes back will He find faith on earth.
