Who Indeed

Romans 1:25a Who changed the truth of God into a lie,

Yes, who indeed changed the truth of God into a lie?

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Romans 1:28 (AMP) And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God or consider Him worth knowing [as their Creator], God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do things which are improper and repulsive,

1 Corinthians 2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

If we have the mind of Christ, is it possible that those who have believed the lies of Satan have the mind of Satan in the same manner? Have they lost their minds? Now I am wondering if God, knowing the end from the beginning, might not have seen that some could only come to their right minds after they suffered that which is improper and repulsive first.

I had to see that my life was unpleasing to my soul before I repented and turned to God. I didn’t go as far as some of these acts talked about in Romans 1 but maybe some do have to go further than I did to turn it around. I praise God that it didn’t get that bad but what of those who suffer the indignations of humanity without understanding there is a way out?

Perhaps this is why Paul jumps right into his entreaty on judgement.

Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
