Pretty much missed the point right there, didn't he?
He certainly did miss the point. I wonder at a pastor wallowing after pearls with swine, but I guess we've got to rationally present the faith to those who don't believe, even if only every now and then.
Those who come to faith are enlightened by the Lord. I think that's what Jesus meant when He said, "Don't cast your pearls before swine."
It's obvious that some have not yet been touched by the Holy Spirit. And some of them will always resist.
