Why Believe that God Exists
2
Without Excuse
Rom 119-20 For what can be known about God is
plain to them, because God has shown it to them.
(20) For his invisible attributes, namely, his
eternal power and divine nature, have been
clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the
world, in the things that have been made. So they
are without excuse.

Rev 18 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the
Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come,
the Almighty." Psa 902 Before the mountains
were brought forth, or ever you had formed the
earth and the world, from everlasting to
everlasting you are God.

Gen 11 In the beginning, God created the
heavens and the earth. Exo 2011 For in six
days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and
all that is in them, and rested the seventh day.
Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and
made it holy. Psa 191 The heavens declare
the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his
handiwork.

With it (The tongue) we bless our Lord and
Father, and with it we curse people who are made
in the likeness of God. (10) From the same
mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers,
these things ought not to be so People are
special to God, so don't tear down, mock, or
wrongly make fun of and tease.

For you formed my inward parts you knitted me
together in my mother's womb. (14) I praise
you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works my soul knows it very
well. (15) My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret, intricately
woven in the depths of the earth. (16) Your
eyes saw my unformed substance in your book were
written, every one of them, the days that were
formed for me, when as yet there were none of
them.
