[Invincibly Ignorant]

Nevertheless, you begin with a willful presumption that precludes ever meeting Christ.

In other words let go of the logic and reasoning capablilities you've been created with and take it by "faith"......been there, done that for 30 years, bought the t-shirt. Doesn't work.

Hi there Invincibly!

Your statement is fascinating - because (at least as far as I can tell) it parses down to the observation that willfully chosing to believe does not work.

I would agree with that, because the "ears to hear" can only come as a gift from God. A person cannot muster the "faith" to know Him:

Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. - John 1:13

What a difference!

Actually, I too have 'been there, done that'. I was raised Roman Catholic. I *tried* that route.

Didn't have any luck, myself.

Guess I wasn't chosen!
