Amazing but not surprising, we read that many or a vast majority of the called are "a stiffnecked people."
Exo 33:5 For the LORD had said unto Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, Ye are a stiffnecked people: I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, and consume thee: therefore now put off thy ornaments from thee, that I may know what to do unto thee.
Exo 34:9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
Deu 9:6 Understand therefore, that the LORD thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.
Deu 9:13 Furthermore the LORD spoke unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Deu 10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
2Ch 30:8 Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified forever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
Act 7:51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
Notice how this verse in Acts confirms the fact that the Holy Ghost (Spirit) is Christ our Lord? They did not "yield to the Lord" and they "resist the Holy Ghost as their fathers did."
His Peace to you,
