I did skim read this, but I may have missed someone making a similar comment.
First what I am NOT saying:
You are saved by watching a beautiful sunset
You are saved by looking at the universe
You are saved by studying biology
What I am saying:
Romans 1:18-19
God left hints in creation that draws us to God
God will know when someone calls out to who created the world
And
God will send someone / some information to that person introducing him to the Gospel of Jesus
OR
God will get that person to where the gospel is preached. Jesus went to a demoniac, a lady at a well, etc.
So created nature is calling to everyone (even if it is a plant in a sidewalk crack, or a mold in a hot spring underwater at a volcano vent).
Then we become without excuse. God has not done his part. We are to do what he called us to do. We are to be listening for the Macedonian call
I did not say we do not have a commission.
I do believe this relates to the thread.
