But what if someone doesn’t trust in Jesus, for example, if they were raised in an environment that either mocked or ignored religion? Would they be unable to ever believe in a creator unless they had a “St. Paul” experience?
I don’t know. Sometimes people become curious about things mocked by those who raise them. A child raised in an environment that mocks religious, eventually might seek to know why it was so menacing to their parent.
And i can’t prove it. But i think God wouldn’t even allow science to reveal him anyway. If we could just build the right kind of radio-telescope and “prove” him, that would basically undo the whole way we are supposed to find him.
Just my opinion there,,,
Many such people have come to know Jesus as their Savior. They ultimately chose to let Jesus come into their hearts. And mind you, this goes even further than what happened to St. Paul, as he was a Jewish Pharisee who had experience with religion.
The way I see it, no explanation from an earthly perspective is needed in matters such as these. Jesus literally just does it. And in many ways, these people are truly blessed moreso than those of us who were born into the faith... their conviction can be even more sincere as they knew of how empty life was without Jesus.
