Paul had been very pre-suppositional in his approach every where he went; what is notable here is his use of evidence. But make NO mistake; his approach remains very pre-suppositional: “there is really only one God, you once knew Him, you have always known about Him” Some will hear, some will not; either way, anyway and everyway it will always be about Jesus. The good news is Jesus! Paul’s apologetic was simple; Christological: you say He cannot be known, ‘But… You Do Know Him!
"God has placed every man where he is on the face of the earth and in the culture he lives in order to seek the true God. God did not make an arbitrary decision, but God pre-destinates out of a loving heart and expects men to seek Him wherever they are in this world. He certainly does not engage in a game of hide-and-seek, but rather has gone out of His way to be obvious."
