Romans 1:18 - The Message

But God’s angry displeasure erupts as acts of human mistrust and wrongdoing and lying accumulate, as people try to put a shroud over truth. But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can’t see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse. What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn’t treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand.

Romans 1:18 - Additional Comments

It's interesting that in current times people don't like to hear "fire and brimstone" preaching about the wrath of God. What is "fire and brimstone"?
Brimstone is an ancient term for sulfur.
Gen 19:24 Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven
Psalm 11:5 The LORD tests the righteous and the wicked, And the one who loves violence His soul hates.
Psalm 11:6 Upon the wicked He will rain (Or {coals of fire}) snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind will be the portion of their cup.
Rev 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
"Fire and brimstone" may or may not actually contain sulfur, but it is figurative of terrible and complete destruction from God.
