Bible Note: Greetings Tim - I'd like to re-visit this verse with you for some input - could this "blinding" - meaning that unbelievers cannot see the glory of God in the face of Christ - be a mercy? What leads me to ask this is IF one "sees" God and rejects Him, is this not akin to balsphemy? By "blinding" an unbeliever, might this be God's mercy, allowing for a possibility of a change of heart to turn to Him at some future point? What are your thoughts here? Thanks, mommapbs |
