"More sophistry on the part of the Catholic apologist. Christ declares that they would not believe, simply because it is impossible for them to believe unless it is given to them by the Father. They are blinded, and therefore cannot understand Him even when He is clear, since such is the nature of our depraved souls."

So I think what your are trying to say here Puny is: that his disciples walked away even though Christ cleared it up that he was speaking metaphorically because they couldn't understand because God chose the ones that would understand and the ones that wouldn't, "are blinded" on purpose?

If I am right here, I don't think I like the kind of god you are proposing, he sounds kind of evil, blinding people and all. The Jesus I know heals the blind.

More important than your blasphemous sentiments though is what the scripture says, and it is quite with me, even if you yourself cannot understand it.

1Co_2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
