There are people who reject God and His teachings. Others simply try to modify what the Bible teaches to fit their own preferences. We see this in people from Thomas Jefferson to the drunk on the corner.
Why do people have such a hard time believing in God? I think it could be summed up in this statement: “If there is a God, then I am not.” People reject God because if He exists as He has revealed Himself to be then they cannot rule their own lives. This is also why people can attend church all their lives and never really become believers. It would require a surrender that they are not willing to give.

I've always said that atheists simply can't conceive anything greater than themselves. I guess our thinking is similar on this matter.
ReplyDeleteGreat minds run in the same channels, at least as long as they are molded by the same Book. Submission is also hard.
