Romans 1:20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

They may "know" God, but:

21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

Their dark hearts will not permit them to really see God. They will call God many things, such as science, reason, nature, allah, etc so that they can take the attributes of God and assign them to something invented by their own imagination because that makes them feel like they are gods.

This is not correct. No person has seen God the father except his son, except Jesus did say that if you had seen him you had seen the father. The meaning of this section of Romans is that they have seen God spiritually, yet they have chosen to worship other things instead: idols, sexual extremism, envy, etc.


"They are filled with every kind of unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice. They are rife with envy, murder, strife, deceit, hostility. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, contrivers of all sorts of evil, disobedient to parents, senseless, covenant-breakers, heartless, ruthless."


Science, reason, nature, Allah, etc. are not mentioned. What is keeping people from God is their attitudes and evil actions that they do by choice.

Can you explain to me how a person comes to know Jesus through "what has been made" in this passages context?

That is the same thing I said. What are you disagreeing with?
