Rom 1:18-20 Tares are without excuse

Rom 1:18-20 KJV  For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;  (19)  Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.  (20)  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Tares without excuse
Holiness of Creator known to man made in His image
From a forum post:
B:- Many put their faith in their religion and have never read the bible. They are being misled, but they don't know it. What happens to them? }}
J:- Thanks for correcting me. I should have written "conscience and / or scripture". The universal guilt of man is indicated in Romans 1-3 by an enumeration of all of the sources of knowledge of God, his power and his holiness and his intolerance toward moral evil, that are available to them.
The only "faith" that is of value to God is that which accompanies His giving of righteousness to the begotten again. Individuals may be misled but they are guilty, having obeyed man rather than God. They know better. The power and deity and holiness and intolerance toward evil of the Creator are known to the heart and soul of a creature created in His image. They are without excuse. Unless they obey the Gospel, their foot will slide in due time.
B was responding to a portion of a prior post by J:
One. Ignoring conscience and scripture, "their foot will slide in due time": Deu 32:35 KJV  To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them make haste. A classic exposition of the text was given by Jonathan Edwards in Enfield, Mass., on July 8, 1741 (Select Sermons - Christian Classics Ethereal Library http://bit.ly/1jxtOQ8 | Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://bit.ly/1bMIFOD ).
J's prior post was a copy of a web log post: In Two Cities: Deut 32:35 1st Peter 5:7 Careless tares wheat http://bit.ly/1eUYkjj
