"What say you? What does Paul mean when he refers to nature, Ro2.14 ? It is not the natural world he refers to, and if not this then what is it he means? What say you? Esaias didn't respond to this question. Will you?"
Okay, even if you interpret your way, the conclusion still is that
all have sinned and can only be justified by grace through the blood.
You can't be justified by the law or by your conscious. Only by grace and through faith in His blood.
Romans 3:23-25 KJV
23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through
faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Romans 2:12-16 warns that Gentiles who sin without the law will perish without the law, while those under the law will be judged by it.
Verdict is still "
guilty" all have sinned.
