“DULL
OF HEARING …
VANITY OF MIND … BLINDNESS OF
HEART”
Like
unsaved
people refusing to get saved, many Christians … yes … saved and going
to heaven
… refuse to believe what the Bible says.
As
it has
been said “There are many Christians with intellectual excuses … but very
few with intellectual problems.”
That
is,
most who put forward intellectual arguments rejecting sound faith and
doctrine,
do not do so because they have a genuine intellectual problem,
but
because they are unwilling to submit their wills to … firstly,
to the
Lord Jesus Christ, secondly, to the inerrancy of The King James Bible,
and
thirdly to have their Christian life radically changed.
These
people
do not have a problem with their minds, but with their will
… and
it’s not that they can’t change their minds … but they won’t.
As
has been
said “While a Christian doesn’t pander to a man’s intellectual
arrogance, we
must cater to his intellectual integrity.”
The
Bible
says these Christians are like “ … children … tossed to and fro
…”
and “… walk in the vanity of their MINDS … having the
understanding
darkened … because of the blindness of their HEART”
(Ephesians 4:14, 17, 18).
Furthermore,
being “… dull of hearing …” and being “… unskilled …
useth milk…”
as “… strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age …”
(Hebrews 5:11, 12, 13,14)
And
it
perfectly summed up with “… when they knew God, they glorified him
not as
God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their
imaginations,
and their foolish heart was darkened.” (Romans 1:21).
See
that? …”
Not thankful … vain imaginations … foolish hearts darkened! Yes Dear
Reader,
this is the plight of the unsaved … and in this context … the saved!
“Wow!”
they
should be saying “we are thankful for the Word … and his
perfect and
inerrant words of the King James Bible!”
Let’s
boil
it down … there are hearts and minds involved. You can
give these
people a truckload of information for their mind, but if their heart’s
not in it … it’s a waste of time.
They
will not
pray “Dear Lord, I want the truth, all of the truth and
nothing
but the truth … at any cost! I willingly change my mind
and my heart
to have your truth!”
What
STOPS them … and/or … God BLINDS
them?
PRIDE,
ENVY
and MORAL
IMPURITY
(1 John 2:16; Romans 12:2).
