Romans 1:20 ~ From the foundations of the world, the hidden things of Yahweh are seen by the mind in the things He created, even His eternal power and divinity, so the they might be without excuse....
"Seen by the mind"
We acknowledge that Yahweh is our Creator while we 'see' (understand) His power and divinity reflected even in the things we don't see while marveling at what we do see. It is by our faith, committing ourselves to The Creator, that we choose to follow His teachings. This would be akin to what Y'shua said about hearing and recognizing the Good Shepherd's voice - he knows who are his and we know who he is. We are One because of Yah's Set Apart Spirit.
His Son gave us this same Spirit His Father gave him, calling it The Comforter and the Spirit of Truth. I've said it before that I don't need 'science' to prove 'God' to me and if our mind is capable of seeing the 'hidden things' of Yahweh (via His Spirit) would that help define what is meant when we read His Kingdom is Near?
"Without excuse"
Romans 1:16 ~ I am not ashamed of the Good News for it is the power of Yahweh to life; as it is written, the righteous by faith will live.
Folks who have a knowledge about Yahweh but do not glorify or even give thanks to Him become vain in their imaginings and their unwise heart is darkened. While they thought they were pretty smart, they became fools. They change the glory of the incorruptible El Shaddai into the likeness of corruptible man and into other icons like birds, animals and reptiles. These people change the truth of Yahweh into a lie and worship and serve the created things (Humanism) much more than the Creator of them, to whom belongs glory and blessing, forever and ever.
From the very beginning Yahweh has told us everything we need to know in order for us to have life eternal. Through our studies and searching Scriptures His truth is revealed via His Spirit dwelling within us. Yah has not hidden anything from us but man sure has piled on tons of deceptions, lies and distractions upon the Word of Yahweh our Creator for thousands of years. Once we begin uncovering these truths we have no excuse to continue as carnal Gentiles, do we?
