"They know everything that can be known about God, because God has shown it all to them."
Tom, how did God show them "everything" that can be known about God? I'm referring to indigenous tribes who have never heard of Jesus or the Bible.
Please cite a reference where an indigenous tribe studied nature and discovered "everything that can be known about God." In particular, the truth about God (not god}, the truth about idolatry, the truth about taking God's name in vain, and the truth about keeping the seventh-day holy from sunset to sunset.
Also, please cite a reference where a person, who has never of heard of the Bible or Jesus, knows instinctively when he is breaking one of the first four commandments, that portrays him feeling bad or guilty because he broke, in particular, the fourth commandment.

MM, this is Scripture. If you don't believe Scripture, what good would citing some study involving indigenous tribes do?
Those who wait for the Bridegroom's coming are to say to the people, "Behold your God." The last rays of merciful light, the last message of mercy to be given to the world, is a revelation of His character of love.

TE: They know everything that can be known about God, because God has shown it all to them.
MM: If your theory is Scriptural, then surely you can point to people who have experienced it. How does God show indigenous tribes, who have never heard of Jesus or the Bible, "everything" that can be known about God?

How does God show indigenous tribes, who have never heard of Jesus or the Bible, "everything" that can be known about God? "If" it is Scriptural? How can it not be Scriptural? I just quoted Scripture: 19They know everything that can be known about God, because God has shown it all to them. 20God's eternal power and character cannot be seen. But from the beginning of creation, God has shown what these are like by all he has made. That's why those people don't have any excuse. 21They know about God, but they don't honor him or even thank him. (Romans 1:19,20) I'm not interpreting anything here. I'm just repeating the text. Once again, if you don't believe Scripture, how could I possibly prove it to you by some study of indigenous tribes? How do you know God created the universe? Can you point me to some study which proves this? How do you know when a person dies that there is a resurrection? Is there a study to prove this? How do I know that God has manifest Himself to everyone? Because He says so in His word. Why would I take the results of some study over this?

"If" it is Scriptural? How can it not be Scriptural? I just quoted Scripture:
It could fail to be scriptual despite quotes from scripture if said quotes are extensively and carefully chosen by the proof-texting method.
Galatians 2
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
It is so hazardous to take here a little and there a little. If you put the right little's together you can make the bible teach anything you wish. //Graham Maxwell

That's true. However, the quotes look to be in the context of the first couple of chapters of Romans where Paul is making the case that all are without excuse. Here Paul argues that even those who have not been exposed to Scripture are without excuse.

Tom, the passage you posted does not reflect what you believe. It does not say indigenous tribes, who have never heard of the Bible or Jesus, learned everything there is to know about God, as if it includes learning about Jesus and the Sabbath. You overstate what Paul wrote.

You overstate what Paul wrote. MM, I just repeated what Paul wrote. I said nothing more. I said nothing about indigenous tribes or the Sabbath. I just quoted Scripture. Can you quote something directly that I wrote which you think is overstating what Paul wrote?

Tom, here's what you wrote - "They know everything that can be known about God, because God has shown it all to them." What do you mean by "everything"?

I didn't write that. Paul wrote that. I quoted Paul. 18From heaven God shows how angry he is with all the wicked and evil things that sinful people do to crush the truth. 19They know everything that can be known about God, because God has shown it all to them. 20God's eternal power and character cannot be seen. But from the beginning of creation, God has shown what these are like by all he has made. That's why those people don't have any excuse. 21They know about God, but they don't honor him or even thank him. (Romans 1 18:21 CEV)
