The New Testament book of Romans, chapter 1 below, makes clear that beyond any excuse of men, what so ever, God's mighty works of creation PROVE, ABSOLUTELY, his existence as the most high supreme person -- God!

This is why the Harold Angels told the Shepards, at Christ's birth, recorded in Luke 2:

I must say also, that Special Creation and Christianity are INSEPARABLE. 

IT IS THE FALL OF GOD'S PERFECT CREATION, IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN --

THAT IS THE VERY REASON THAT REDEMPTION IS ESSENTIAL --

AND THE COMING OF THE REDEEMER OR SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST! -- Imperative.

I must say also, it is the fact God MADE us -- that gives him the total moral right to be our boss.

One should look at the Old Testament book of Job.  In the last four chapters God gives Job a four chapter lecture on the wonders of nature -- marvels that only God can make.  God expected Job to know about him from nature.

Our failure to put Bible testimony together with the stunning evidence of God's creation in Nature --

The following two sections show just some of the stunning handiwork of God.

The first is from my page Seven Powerful Evidences Confirming Special Creation.

GOD'S GRAND DESIGN:  As the archaeologist proceeds with his "dig," he will readily identify pieces of pottery, tools, etc., as "man made." He will easily see in these things the evidence of design and distinguish them from natural materials. Likewise, many features of our universe will convince the unprejudiced mind of their inherent design. Consider the dance of honeybees directing others to new nectar sources.

Think of the gorgeous rings of Saturn---billions of bits of matter orbiting in such tidy formation. What about spiral galaxies and binary stars? Don't these compel the open-minded person to admit God created? Microscopic bacteria have an actual "rotary motor" that rotates their flagellum and propels them through liquid.

The genetic coding material, or DNA, of all living cells, though microscopic, packs more information than five sets of encyclopedias. The thymus gland in our immune system must produce a squad of "killer cells." Each and every squad is specifically targeted against just one kind of the hundreds of millions of things that invade our bodies.

Perhaps the most persuasive evolutionist argument has been that of homology. Similar structures, such as the arms of apes and man, are said to be homologous and to demand a common ancestor.

Now, molecular biologists know these structures are specified by different genes in different creatures. Thus the implication is actually for a common designer, not a common ancestor.

The same is true in embryology. High-tech photography inside the womb shows that development of the embryo is unique in each species.

It does not recapitulate (retrace) alleged evolutionary steps as has long been claimed by evolutionists.

What a miracle the growing process. All our parts grow together in such perfect harmony!

The second is from my quote of Dr. Michael Denton's book Evolution, a Theory in Crisis.  I also quote him at my page The Kings of the Earth.

Note:  Denton is NOT a creationist, but is doing a candid and serious critique of Evolution.

The following book, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis by Michael Denton mightily refutes Evolution.  The (chapter) Puzzle of Perfection:  “The intuitive feeling that pure chance could never have achieved the degree of complexity and ingenuity so ubiquitous in nature has been a continuing source of skepticism ever since the publication of the Origin of the Species;

and throughout the past century there has always existed a significant minority of first-rate biologists who have never been able to bring themselves to accept the validity of Darwinism. 

Perhaps in no other area of modern biology is the challenge posed by the extreme complexity and ingenuity of biological adaptations more apparent than in the fascinating new molecular world of the cell…

To grasp the reality of life as it has been revealed by molecular biology, we must magnify a cell a thousand million times until it is twenty kilometers in diameter and resembles a giant airship large enough to cover a great city like London or New York. 

What we would then see would be an object of unparalleled complexity and adaptive design.  On the surface of the cell we would see millions of openings, like the port holes of a vast space ship, opening and closing to allow a continual stream of materials to flow in and out. 

If we were to enter one of these openings we would find ourselves in a world of supreme technology and bewildering complexity……. It is the sheer universality of perfection, the fact that everywhere we look, to whatever depth we look, we find an elegance and ingenuity of an absolutely transcending quality, which so mitigates against the idea of chance.

Is it really credible that random processes could have constructed a reality, the smallest element of which – a functional protein or gene – is complex beyond our own creative capacities, a reality which is the very antithesis of chance, which excels in every sense anything produced by the intelligence of man? 

Alongside the level of ingenuity and complexity exhibited by the molecular machinery of life, even our most advanced artifacts appear clumsy.  We feel humbled, as Neolithic man would in the presence of twentieth-century technology. The idea of evolution is the key-stone of our modern world view. 

Yet the theory of evolution as propounded by Darwin and elaborated into accepted “fact” by the scientific establishment is coming under increasing fire. 

As Romans 1 effectively claims -- everywhere we look we see the breathtaking, awesome, works that only God can do.

The passage correctly insists that NO ONE has an excuse!

PSALM 19

Laymen must not allow clergy to get away with bamboozling us into tolerating blasphemy, heresy, etc.

God gives the church Elders, (Bishops or Overseers), to oversee things, NOT TO BE OUR LORDS! 

1 Peter 5

1 The elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.

4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

See my page NICOLAITANES! Jesus Christ Hates their Deeds, and Doctrine!

The Church is Christ’s body.  This is taught many places in the New Testament.

It is not make-believe.  It is actual reality.

Jesus Christ actually indwells, by the Holy Ghost, all true believers in him.

Christians are like cells of his body.

I'm convinced 1 Corinthians 15:29 refers to this:

Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

Our fingers take orders from our head, not from our wrist or arm, although our head usually employs them together. 

Just as cells of our bodies die and are replaced by new cell (but the "us" -- our souls -- live on), so believers being cells in Christ's body, die, and are replaced by new believers (new cells) who are baptized -- the important, symbolic, entry into redeemed, or saved life in Christ.

Consider this illustration regarding our Lordship in relation to church elders.

My fingers, take orders from my HEAD, NOT, from my wrist, or arm.

Likewise, our PRIMARY obedience should be to our HEAD, who is Jesus Christ, NOT to church leaders.

Obviously our fingers cannot depart from our hand.

Just as we often use our fingers together -- so Christ will do in his body, the Church.

We have only one LORD – he is to direct us – the Elders should not be allowed to take the Lord’s place.

Elders have an important place as the 1 Peter 5 verses above show.

But we must be faithful to Christ and raise strong objection to wrong doctrines and practice.

US President Abraham Lincoln said:

"The sin of silence, when men should speak, makes cowards of men."

Martin Luther King Jr. said:

"In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."

New Testament book of Romans, chapter 1:

15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset, and David Brown 1871

15. So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also—He feels himself under an all-subduing obligation to carry the gospel to all classes of mankind, as adapted to and ordained equally for all (1Co 9:16).

16. For I am not ashamed of the gospel—(The words, "of Christ," which follow here, are not found in the oldest and best manuscripts). This language implies that it required some courage to bring to "the mistress of the world" what "to the Jews was a stumbling-block and to the Greeks foolishness" (1Co 1:23).

But its inherent glory, as God's life-giving message to a dying world, so filled his soul, that, like his blessed Master, he "despised the shame."

for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth—Here and in Ro 1:17 the apostle announces the great theme of his ensuing argument;

Salvation, the one overwhelming necessity of perishing men; this revealed IN THE GOSPEL MESSAGE; and that message so owned and honored of God as to carry, in the proclamation of it, God's own power to save every soul that embraces it, Greek and Barbarian, wise and unwise alike.

17. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed—that is (as the whole argument of the Epistle shows), God's justifying righteousness.

from faith to faith—a difficult clause. Most interpreters (judging from the sense of such phrases elsewhere) take it to mean, "from one degree of faith to another." But this agrees ill with the apostle's design, which has nothing to do with the progressive stages of faith, but solely with faith itself as the appointed way of receiving God's "righteousness."

We prefer, therefore, to understand it thus: "The righteousness of God is in the gospel message, revealed (to be) from (or 'by') faith to (or 'for') faith," that is, "in order to be by faith received." (So substantially, Melville, Meyer, Stuart, Bloomfield, &c.).

as it is written—(Hab 2:4).

The just shall live by faith—This golden maxim of the Old Testament is thrice quoted in the New Testament—here; Ga 3:11; Heb 10:38—showing that the gospel way of "LIFE BY FAITH," so far from disturbing, only continued and developed the ancient method.

On the foregoing verses, Note (1) What manner of persons ought the ministers of Christ to be, according to the pattern here set up: absolutely subject and officially dedicated to the Lord Jesus; separated unto the gospel of God, which contemplates the subjugation of all nations to the faith of Christ: debtors to all classes, the refined and the rude, to bring the gospel to them all alike, all shame in the presence of the one, as well as pride before the other, sinking before the glory which they feel to be in their message; yearning over all faithful churches, not lording it over them, but rejoicing in their prosperity, and finding refreshment and strength in their fellowship!

(2) The peculiar features of the gospel here brought prominently forward should be the devout study of all who preach it, and guide the views and the taste of all who are privileged statedly to hear it: that it is "the gospel of God," as a message from heaven, yet not absolutely new, but on the contrary, only the fulfilment of Old Testament promise, that not only is Christ the great theme of it, but Christ in the very nature of God as His own Son, and in the nature of men as partaker of their flesh—the Son of God now in resurrection—power and invested with authority to dispense all grace to men, and all gifts for the establishment and edification of the Church, Christ the righteousness provided of God for the justification of all that believe in His name; and that in this glorious Gospel, when preached as such, there resides the very power of God to save Jew and Gentile alike who embrace it.

(3) While Christ is to be regarded as the ordained Channel of all grace from God to men (Ro 1:8), let none imagine that His proper divinity is in any respect compromised by this arrangement, since He is here expressly associated with "God the Father," in prayer for "grace and peace" (including all spiritual blessings) to rest upon this Church (Ro 1:7).

(4) While this Epistle teaches, in conformity with the teaching of our Lord Himself, that all salvation is suspended upon faith, this is but half a truth, and will certainly minister to self-righteousness, if dissociated from another feature of the same truth, here explicitly taught, that this faith in God's own gift—for which accordingly in the case of the Roman believers, he "thanks his God through Jesus Christ" (Ro 1:8).

(5) Christian fellowship, as indeed all real fellowship, is a mutual benefit; and as it is not possible for the most eminent saints and servants of Christ to impart any refreshment and profit to the meanest of their brethren without experiencing a rich return into their bosoms, so just in proportion to their humility and love will they feel their need of it and rejoice in it.

Ro 1:18. Why This Divinely Provided Righteousness Is Needed by All Men.

18. For the wrath of God—His holy displeasure and righteous vengeance against sin.

is revealed from heaven—in the consciences of men, and attested by innumerable outward evidences of a moral government.

against all ungodliness—that is, their whole irreligiousness, or their living without any conscious reference to God, and proper feelings towards Him.

and unrighteousness of men—that is, all their deviations from moral rectitude in heart, speech, and behavior. (So these terms must be distinguished when used together, though, when standing alone, either of them includes the other).

Ro 1:18-32. This Wrath of God, Revealed against All Iniquity, Overhangs the Whole Heathen World.

18. who hold—rather, "hold down," "hinder," or "keep back."

the truth in unrighteousness—The apostle, though he began this verse with a comprehensive proposition regarding men in general, takes up in the end of it only one of the two great divisions of mankind, to whom he meant to apply it; thus gently sliding into his argument. But before enumerating their actual iniquities, he goes back to the origin of them all, their stifling the light which still remained to them.

As darkness overspreads the mind, so impotence takes possession of the heart, when the "still small voice" of conscience is first disregarded, next thwarted, and then systematically deadened. Thus "the truth" which God left with and in men, instead of having free scope and developing itself, as it otherwise would, was obstructed (compare Mt 6:22, 23; Eph 4:17, 18).

19. Because that which may be—rather, "which is."

known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them—The sense of this pregnant statement the apostle proceeds to unfold in Ro 1:20.

20. For the invisible things of him from—or "since"

the creation of the world are clearly seen—the mind brightly beholding what the eye cannot discern.

being understood by the things that are made—Thus, the outward creation is not the parent but the interpreter of our faith in God. That faith has its primary sources within our own breast (Ro 1:19); but it becomes an intelligible and articulate conviction only through what we observe around us ("by the things which are made," Ro 1:20).

And thus are the inner and the outer revelation of God the complement of each other, making up between them one universal and immovable conviction that God is.

even his eternal power and Godhead—both that there is an Eternal Power, and that this is not a mere blind force, or pantheistic "spirit of nature," but the power of a living Godhead.

so that they are without excuse—all their degeneracy being a voluntary departure from truth thus brightly revealed to the unsophisticated spirit.

21. Because that, when they knew God—that is, while still retaining some real knowledge of Him, and ere they sank down into the state next to be described.

they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful—neither yielded the adoration due to Himself, nor rendered the gratitude which His beneficence demanded.

but became vain—(compare Jer 2:5).

in their imaginations—thoughts, notions, speculations, regarding God; compare Mt 15:19; Lu 2:35; 1Co 3:20, Greek.

and their foolish—"senseless," "stupid."

heart—that is, their whole inner man.

was darkened—How instructively is the downward progress of the human soul here traced!

22, 23. Professing themselves—"boasting," or "pretending to be"

wise, they became fools—"It is the invariable property of error in morals and religion, that men take credit to themselves for it and extol it as wisdom. So the heathen" (1Co 1:21) [Tholuck].

23. And changed—or "exchanged."

the glory of the uncorruptible God into—or "for"

an image … like to corruptible man—The allusion here is doubtless to the Greek worship, and the apostle may have had in his mind those exquisite chisellings of the human form which lay so profusely beneath and around him as he stood on Mars' Hill; and "beheld their devotions." (See on Ac 17:29).

But as if that had not been a deep enough degradation of the living God, there was found "a lower deep" still.

and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and to creeping things—referring now to the Egyptian and Oriental worship. In the face of these plain declarations of the descent of man's religious belief from loftier to ever lower and more debasing conceptions of the Supreme Being, there are expositors of this very Epistle (as Reiche and Jowett), who, believing neither in any fall from primeval innocence, nor in the noble traces of that innocence which lingered even after the fall and were only by degrees obliterated by wilful violence to the dictates of conscience, maintain that man's religious history has been all along a struggle to rise, from the lowest forms of nature worship, suited to the childhood of our race, into that which is more rational and spiritual.

24. Wherefore God also—in righteous retribution.

gave them up—This divine abandonment of men is here strikingly traced in three successive stages, at each of which the same word is used (Ro 1:24, 26; and Ro 1:28, where the word is rendered "gave over"). "As they deserted God,

God in turn deserted them; not giving them divine (that is, supernatural) laws, and suffering them to corrupt those which were human; not sending them prophets, and allowing the philosophers to run into absurdities. He let them do what they pleased, even what was in the last degree vile, that those who had not honored God, might dishonor themselves" [Grotius].

25. Who changed the truth of God into a lie—that is, the truth concerning God into idol falsehood.

and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator—Professing merely to worship the Creator by means of the creature, they soon came to lose sight of the Creator in the creature.

How aggravated is the guilt of the Church of Rome, which, under the same flimsy pretext, does shamelessly what the heathen are here condemned for doing, and with light which the heathen never had!

who is blessed for ever! Amen—By this doxology the apostle instinctively relieves the horror which the penning of such things excited within his breast; an example to such as are called to expose like dishonor done to the blessed God.
