Psalm 19:1-3; Romans1:18
The apostle, though he began this verse with a comprehensive proposition regarding men in general, takes up in the end of it only one of the two great divisions of mankind, to whom he meant to apply it; thus gently sliding into his argument. But before enumerating their actual iniquities, he goes back to the origin of them all, their stifling the light which still remained to them. As darkness overspreads the mind, so impotence takes possession of the heart, when the "still small voice" of conscience is first disregarded, next thwarted, and then systematically deadened. Thus "the truth" which God left with and in men, instead of having free scope and developing itself, as it otherwise would, was obstructed (compare Mt 6:22 I used to ponder what Jesus meant in that scripture. Now I know what it means. The light of the body is the eye "what you see all around you all the time." The eye being evil means not disbelief, but suppressing or rejecting irrevocable science? NO NO NO! An evil eye means rejecting irrevocable truth, thus the heart grows cold and dark forever! 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12
