--- Quote from: Francis Drake on September 05, 2013, 02:27:44 pm ---No way. the Ten commandments are never written on the hearts of the gentiles. If that were true, as the civilised expanded we would have been constantly finding those who celebrated the Saturday Sabbath, and various other vestiges of the law in their cultures.

When scripture talks about having the law written on our hearts, it doesn't mean any of the scriptures as such. It is referring to our consciences. It is a righteous conscience that is in touch with God via the Holy Spirit. That is what is in the heart, and it is that which defines the difference between right and wrong.

Little bit confused here, is sin related to the difference between right and wrong? Can a sin be right? Do the Gentiles have some special list of sins which supersede the 10 Commandments? Can a Gentile violate the 10 Commandments, any of the 10 Commandments, and be doing right?

Granpa:
A person might think its going to rain but God would know it might rain. God is always knowing. That is why God never misses the mark. People are not always knowing. That is why people occasionally miss the mark they set for themselves. Sin originally meant to miss the mark but has come to mean all bad. So bad that you deserve to burn in hell for eternity. Nothing is all-good or all-bad

Slippery slope you're on my friend.
2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, 4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
