Paul then continues the description of man’s fallen condition, and the consequences of denying God. Men chose to deny the knowledge of God, to reject the knowledge of God. There is research which shows that children have an innate belief in God. Not surprisingly this research is contested and others claim children have this belief because society inculcates it in them. In one sense it doesn’t matter, the case is that there is a tendency to believe in God, many then actively choose to reject this belief. The response of God is to give man what he wants! The word translated “depraved” means “that which has not stood the test” and was used of substandard coins. The mind, and everything that flows from it, that results when someone rejects God will not stand the test. At present we see utter confusion over sexuality and gender. This depraved mind leads us to do what should not be done. The actions of Planned Parenthood are a stark example of this. Paul will now go on to list various examples of the product of a depraved mind, a substandard mind.
