"Thought provoking" Everything he says breaks down to "god did it". That isn't provoking any thoughts.

**"God did it"** is profoundly simple, and that simplicity is exactly what makes it so powerful. It immediately confronts every person with a real choice: accept it or reject it. That choice alone carries enormous weight. Once accepted, it reorients everything including origin, purpose, morality, and destiny. Once rejected, it forces the created to become their own gods, inventing meaning, morality, and "truth" from their own limited perspective. The results of that rebellion have been consistent throughout history: confusion, moral chaos, and the endless creation of new ideologies that ultimately fail to satisfy the human heart. **The Word of God invites us to seek Him.** Those who do find Him, not as an abstract concept, but as a living, personal Truth. Those who refuse end up worshiping something else in His place, whether it’s materialism, scientism, or their own intellect. In the end, everyone worships something. The only question is whether it’s the Creator or a creation. That seems to be the epitome of profound to me. You have a choice to make every day. Reject Him or seek Him. The invitation remains - waiting only on you to soften your heart and open your mind. Seek Him, and you will find Him.

I reject your premise about your god. I don't see any truth in the Bible.

I always wonder why. Why are some people blinded and others aren't? 2 Corinthians 4:4: "The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." The Role of Human Will and Pride A person's internal attitude heavily influences their ability to see truth. Hardened Hearts: Repeatedly resisting what is right naturally dulls a person's conscience and spiritual perception (Ephesians 4:18). Intellectual Pride: People who rely entirely on their own intellect often overlook spiritual truth. Jesus noted that God hides these things from the "wise and learned" and reveals them to "little children" (Matthew 11:25). Love of Dark Deeds: John 3:19 explains that people sometimes reject the light because they prefer the dark, fearing the light will expose their wrongdoings. External Spiritual Influences The New Testament explicitly mentions active forces that cloud human judgment. Satanic Deception: 2 Corinthians 4:4 states that "the god of this age" actively blinds the minds of unbelievers to keep them from seeing the gospel. Cultural Distractions: Materialism, anxieties, and worldly desires act like thorns that choke out truth before it can take root (Mark 4:19). Divine Judgment and Grace The Bible also presents a complex theological tension regarding God's role in spiritual sight. Judicial Blindness: When people persistently reject God, He sometimes "gives them over" to their own stubbornness, sealing the blindness they chose (Romans 1:24-28). Sovereign Grace: Scripture teaches that no one can see the truth on their own. Spiritual sight is ultimately a gift from God, who actively opens eyes through the Holy Spirit (John 6:44). I'll keep praying for you.
