True, but did the wealthy man cause the hate; or did the men hate the wealthy man because they because to do otherwise would require them to recognize and accept responisbilty for their own failings.?
The three are irresistibly persuaded in a way that is exclusive to them.
I certainly agree that some are irresistably persuaded; the Apostle Paul being the prime example. I think one should not take the example of Paul and apply it to all other persons. If someone were to say that Paul had much of a free-will decision to make under the circumstances, I would say such person is out of his mind. Paul and a relatively few others were special situations; but I don't think those particular cases can be generalzed for all people.
