It does not impugn the authority or veracity of Scripture, such are objective realities.<br /><br />Suggesting that Ro. 1 would be "ineffective" in aiding someone who is suppressing the truth--much less a believer--merely emphasizes the human proclivity to sin. If anyone is uninfluenced by the truth of Scripture, that is a heart issue. And not one for which there is any contingency; there is no particular "break in case of fire" verse, argument, or appeal that can specifically yank someone from such suppression. All of Scripture makes demands upon the human mind and heart that, as you know, only a regenerate heart can respond to.<br /><br />The reality is, any crisis of faith occurring with a true believer will eventually end. That's a God promise. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02310112829970691654noreply@blogger.com
