>>Who do you suppose writes those laws on their hearts?<<

No where does it say those are God's laws written on their hearts. Besides, he was talking about their actions prior to being saved by faith in Christ. Don't get so desperate that you just search for a word and post what you find.

Now you are way out over the edge!

1John 2:

[3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
[4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
[5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
[6] He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.
[7] Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning.
The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.



The old commandment,Torah, that man was commanded to keep from the beginning. That is still the commandment.

The connivances that so-called believers create to avoid what we are commanded to do never cease to amaze me.

Who would write commandments on our hearts?

Who could write laws on our hearts?

The answer to that tells whose laws they were.

They could only be God’s laws.

When Paul was talking about the Gentiles having a "law" in their hearts, it's clear he is addressing the conscience of man - something that is ingrained such as do not kill, do not steal, etc. It's also obvious that Paul was not talking about the Law of Moses. The Gentiles had no idea what that was. Seeing as Romans is talking about all mankind knowing "right from wrong" and recognizing that we are ALL sinners in need of a Savior, to insist that it was the Law of Moses written on their hearts that Paul meant is ludicrous.

Modern day Judaizers will always make salvation dependent on what we "do" instead of what Christ has DONE. Their accursed gospel is disputed by the SAME word of Christ. Grace isn't grace if we have to add our works to the mix.
