Hi Daniel, I know what you mean. It's not only the word of God that is difficult to accept, but even God himself.
Here is a real conversation I have had with someone.
Me: Do you believe there is a God?
Person: ummm
....dunno, probably not
Me: but you believe in spirits/ghosts and suchlike?
Person: Oh yes! These 'spiritualists' in the local church hall really have it sussed!
Me: Really? Did you know that God is spirit?
Person: Never thought of it like that, I could maybe see that, at a push, when you put it like that.
Me: actually, not only is He spirit, but in fact is the Daddy of all Spirit and He has lots to say, better still, it won't cost you the money you pay at these meetings.
Person: Well, if doesn't cost money, how can it be any good?
Anyway, hang on a minute, spirits are dead people, if God is spirit, it means God is dead!
Me:
Me: Well no, not really, maybe we could talk about it sometime?
Person: Hmmm
, don't know if I can find time really, I don't want to miss a meeting, a spirit might want to say something to me.
Me:
no kidding! well give me a phone anyway, see ya
Lol,
As Ray said, the blind really are blind. Satan is really doing a bang up job in the deceiving department. But he won't win in the end and that's a real comforting thought.
