Man is made in the image of his Father. His spiritual faculties are in-built, part of his human nature. Your scriptures say that one must have the (spiritual) eyes and ears, betty boop, that is spiritual "senses" God gives only to some, or else you can't understand or comprehend the gospel and acknowledge him.

It seems to me that if the door of our soul is open, God gives the requisite gifts. If the door is barred against Him, then He doesn't. Whether the door is open or closed is a matter of human will.
Or so it seems to me, FWIW.
