Give me your thoughts on how this passage relates to your understanding of prevenient grace. The text says clearly that all men know there is a creator and that this knowledge is made manifest by God, yet they reject it. Should this be added to your chart under prevenient grace (as the passage you include discussing conscience)?

=====

Romans 1

18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; 19because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them. 20For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: 21because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened.

I'm inclined to relate it to total depravity. Prevenient grace is the provision made to overcome the condition.
