Romans 1:19-21
God's wrath against sinful humanity
(starting in vs 18)
The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people,
who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
since what may be known about God is plain to them,
because God has made it plain to them.
For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities
-- his eternal power and divine nature --
have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made,
so that people are without excuse.
For although they knew God,
they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him,
but their thinking because futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
-----------------
If people don't accept the truth of God's word, even though they KNOW who he is and everything about him and what he stands for,
they begin to make their own ideas of what truth is,
they begin to define things in their own ways,
they take the information they like and leave the rest,
therefore creating spaces for people to come together that all believe the same things...
that isn't entirely biblical.
They create their own religions.
