...”it’s that refusal that causes God to blind their eyes”....
Believing a lie one wants to believe is much easier than the truth God would have them believe.
Like the lie that the Lord if actually trusted to take them to heaven, will have the gall to do so in the face of the naysayers... yup like that lie.
I hardly see 1 out of 10 “Christians” actually believing the salvational promises of the Lord. They are a rare joy to be with and they astonishingly transcend a lot of denominational dreck. The Babylon Whore problem is spread all OVER. We cannot point a finger without having three pointing back at us.
