I find reading both fearful and acknowlegable for the truth and understanding conflict with life experiences. Or perhaps the written word and spirit are not the same???

In Romans 1 we see the path that men take to the point of no longer considering Gods place in their lives. here in the fall begins, and the final outcome is total loss of the knowledge of right and wrong.

Isn't this the exact process that Adam/Eve went through? "When the woman saw". Saw literally means " to advise self", she became vain in her imaginations. Aren't we to "cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God? Seems to me that Adam/Eve represents our spirit/soul .

We've witnessed first hand a supervisor, who grew up in a Christian home, but left to become a Buddhist. He has steadily deteriorated over the course of three years, into a vain, adversarial, iniquitous, self-absorbed passive-aggressive person. He cannot be reasoned with, his mind is now noticeably darkened and filtered by unreality. Itś both astonishing and scary to see.
