No Interpretation! "Every Man does what is right in his own eyes"

"Every Man does what is right in his own eyes" if there is no absolute Eternal Interpretation to reality. (Judges 17;6, 21;25)

The Irrationality of Unbelief

An Exegetical Study

Throughout this blog I have made the claim that if one rejects the revelation of God one is left with an irrational world and irrational beliefs. But does the Bible give us any ground to base this Thesis on. I believe an exegetical study of Romans 1; 18-28 gives us the foundation to support my Thesis.

Romans 1;18-28 says, For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Because what may be known of God is manifested in them, For God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead , so that they are without excuse, because although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts and their hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools.
And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man, and birds and four footed animals and creeping things. Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the creator, who is blessed forever, Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Like wise also the men leaving the natural uses of women, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was against nature. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things, which are not fitting.

This passage starts off with declaring that God’s wrath is being reveled from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness because mankind suppresses his truth.
God’s wrath is his holy judgement on sin and is manifested in two ways. The first is God’s immediate awareness in our consciousness convicting us on what is evil and the second is the disorder and fallen-ness of creation. God’s judgement intensifies as we suppress the knowledge of God, which is clearly seen in us. The knowledge we have in our minds is knowledge of knowledge, minds corresponding to mind. Because God is the self-contained being of all-knowledge and man is made in the image of God. Man is a reflector and re-interpreter of Gods knowledge. This does not mean man can know all what God knows. But God has implanted a clear revelation that man cannot avoid.
Our knowledge is not just abstract, but is part of the fullness of God’s total interpretation of all reality. Man knows he is a rational being, so the world must be rational, he knows that he is a moral creature, so the world must have a moral standard. Man sees that evil is committed in this world and that something is wrong with creation. Wherever man looks he sees God weather he is seeking for knowledge, meaning, or purpose.
This is what Paul means in verse 20-21 “For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead , so that they are without excuse, because although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts and their hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools. Our attributes must have a source, that being personal, rational, and moral. When we look inside ourselves we see the creator and when we look in nature we see the creator of design and purpose. This is why God says there is no excuse in not believing in him. When man rejects God trying to have his own wisdom, he becomes a fool, because he makes the assertion that he is a rational being in a impersonal meaningless world. He makes himself out to be God and determines what must be.
For what is clearly seen, man exchanges for a lie. Instead of worshiping the creator of his existence he worships himself or the creation. By doing this man exchanges truth for error and dethrones a rational world is be irrational. This is why unbelief is irrational as it makes the whole of reality irrational. By exchanging the truth and suppressing it, the errors of mankind ways are expressed, by changing what is natural to the unnatural. Paul gives the example of men and women becoming gay or lesbians because of their suppression of truth and so become debased in their minds and hearts. This is what happens when man rejects God's revelation, man is confussed with the purpose of reality and lives deep in his sins according to his sin nature
