Thanks for that! I suppose either way in light of Romans 3 the comma does not matter. Or, in light of Romans 3, the comma is appropriate <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

I agree that not all men do the things that Paul describes in the verses following 18, but I was prepraed to point out to my friend that Paul starts from a base point that all unregenerate men "suppress the truth in unrighteousness" and mankind in general then proceeds down the path where filled with homosexuality, idolatry, murder etc etc, which I think we can see is the general tenor of our times, and which was the general tenor of Paul's day as well.

At any rate, thanks, I think I got unnecessarily hung up on the comma, but my Arminian friend is a sharp guy and I was anticipating the objection on that point <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
