“What can be Known about God is plain, because He has shown it … Ever since the Creation, His eternal power and Divine Nature have been understood through all the things He has made.” ~ Paul (Romans 1:19-20)

 

Even though this passage once again has Paul hollowly trying to “prove the unprovable” (i.e. exhort others to believe in his radically flawed faith in Jesus, the man, instead of encouraging them to emulate Jesus’ teachings — The Way), a deeper Truth is available herein nonetheless; namely, the Truth that – even though we cannot ever objectively prove God’s existence from “all that he has made” (and thank heavens for that, as a proven God means the destruction of all doubt – which means the castration of all acts of faith – which means the renouncement of all true human potency; as only the deeds that are difficult carry any real measure of Power, and no deed is difficult for a “true believer” of a certain God), we can tell what is in harmony with “God’s Will” by looking at how various deeds, beliefs, &/or interpretations of Scripture react to and interact with “all that he has made.”

And this is why Jesus exhorted all of us to test the validity of all prophets, to test all interpretations of Scripture, and to test the Rightness of all deeds via witnessing the quality of their Fruits (see Matthew 7:15-20).  And this is why he told his listeners that “Wisdom is vindicated by all Her children” (see Luke 7:35) …

 

To make matters even more plain, we can simply remember another Truth of which Paul seemed to be ignorant – namely, the Truth that God is an all-Loving Essence for Jesus (see Matthew 5:48), and as such only the things that resonate with unconditional Love can be “of God” &/or in harmony with “God’s Will.”
