Do not bother me with your selective proof-texting anymore. Dec you give personal insults and not answers..Does God or does He not harden hearts to achieve His purposes according to the infallible word of God? You post an article by some one that says Gods word says He hardened heart ..but it doesn't mean it..It must mean what I say it means.. Doesn't Jesus confirm that in the NT?

I post an article stating that God does harden hearts and you ask if He does?

What you really do not like is that the 'hardening' occurs because mans negative decisions (2Thess.2:11), not because God decided to harden one and leave another unhardened.

For instance, God always knew that Pharoah would reject Him,(of Pharoah's own free will), thus, for that reason He 'raised him up' to show him as an example of the futility of resisting God.

Personally, I think you are a perfect example of that 'hardening' since you are under 'strong delusion'

We are commanded in the Bible to resist 'hardening'

Exhort one another daily, while it is called today, lest anyone of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin (Heb.3:13)

Now, that warning is to believers, so pay heed!

Dec when does man let God play God in your play? Man has the lead ...and god a supporting role?

If God foreknew that he was going to harden his heart couldn't God have softened it instead of slaughtering all those egyptian babies?
