Not everyone can "see" this-
Not because they were not initially given the same ablity to "see">>>>>>>
but because they have placed themselves as more knowledgeable than God - who has responded to their choice by rendering them SPIRITUALLY BLIND 1Corinthians 2:14 NIV1991
They have made themselves god.
they have dismissed all of the Scientific evidence (Darwin did not have an Electron Microscope) of an intelligent, organized, precise structure of genes, planets and all natural law around them. As well as all of archeological evidence showing the truthfulness and authenticity of the Bible and replaced that with their "conclusions" based on their extremely limited knowledge - and this is something they cling to --- to the result of "Blindness" - they cannot "see". they have sentenced themselves to the exclusion of the Love of God and His blessings, to not becoming a child of God in his kingdom and to eternal SEPARATION from God. Matthew 18:3
Even those who saw Jesus do miracles refused to believe. John 12:37 - 40 So they were blinded and could not see and their hearts deadened so they could not understand.
Romans Chapter 1 verses 21 through 25
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images, made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator who is forever praised. Amen.(NIV1991)
A Christian can "SEE" because of their submission and complete acceptance of God and His son. They SEE Gods love demonstrated in the sacrifice of Jesus and understand what that MEANS. A REAL Christian is then "compelled" to please God by turning away from sin and receiving Jesus as Lord of their lives
JOHN 1:12 & 13 (speaking of Jesus) Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.(NIV)
God is not interested in your "logic" or your "intellect"
He wants you to come to Him as this beautiful trusting innocent little child to your Father.
Can a Christian Hate ?
I CAN
BE READY!
