Bible Question (short): satan allowed to blind minds? |
Question (full): In Mark 4:15 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts. KJV Is there a similarity between Mark 4:15 and 2Cor 4:4, where satan is called the god of this world, and is being described as the one who is blinding the minds of people? 2 Cor 4:4 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. KJV So knowing that satan has the power to blind the minds of people of this world and take away the truth that one may have heard, how can anyone judge whether or not an unbeliever has salvation, if the unbeliever is being allowed to be deceived? Is there also a lesson of mercy, through forgiveness of unbelief? Bless you for your thoughts, Love Fountain |
