Have the lies of the devil built up too many strongholds in their minds?

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (New Living Translation)

3 We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. 4 [a]We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ.
 
Just because I use a blow-up doll for sex doesn't mean I love it! And I don't love the Tooth Fairy either . . . or the Easter Bunny . . . or Bug Bunny. I can enjoy fiction and fantasy . . . but absorb its love -- that's creepy!
 
How can people try to force what they believe in upon us by asking it in a Yahoo! Answers question? Everyone is entitled to believe in what they wish, and you should never force someone to believe in something based on opinion!
 
Amazing, the most important question for every human being and most don't bother researching it for themselves.
 
Could you say the same if I was sitting outside your bedroom window. Watching you brush that beautiful hair. All mine.... All... Mine.
 
“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (Joh 3:3 AV)

“No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.” (Joh 6:44 AV)

“All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” (Joh 6:37 AV)

"This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." (Joh 6:29 AV)

“But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand.” (Joh 10:26-28 AV)

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know [them], because they are spiritually discerned.” (1Co 2:14 AV)

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.” (Joh 6:63 AV)

“So then faith [cometh] by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Ro 10:17 AV)

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN, but of God.” (Joh 1:12-13 AV)

“For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do [them].” (Eze 36:24-27 AV)

“For he saith to Moses, 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion'. So then [it is] not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.” (Ro 9:15-16 AV)

“Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will [have mercy], and whom he will he hardeneth.” (Ro 9:18 AV)
 
First of all, the NLT is a liberal translation of a translation. Use a NASB for a more literal translation.

Secondly, the Bible teaches that no one seeks after God. It is God that calls us ("my sheep hear my voice...") and it is true that those that can't/ wont believe are not able to because they are not chosen to do so. They are "vessels created for wrath"

Predestination - look it up.
 
what people reject the love , compassion and truth of christ? the truth is everyone has including me and you at one point or another in life, perhaps before one was shown the truth and came to knowledge of christ. christ is a way a life, a way to live a life thats loving and everlasting. just because a person verbally denies christ, doesnt mean they physically do, they cant. because every soul is bound to love, its how we were made. love comes in many shapes, sizes , efforts and forms. so long as effort is being given for all to live a better life, no one is in the wrong.
 
Because Jesus was a delusional man who believed that myths were true. How can you, especially in this day in age, believe in myths?
 
hello terri+pray .the answer to your question .? is people enjoy sin .sin easy to do . people like to listen. to what satin tells them to do .the truth is harder to live . than a lie is amen .one only hast to make up their own mind up .on who they want to service. the preacher
 
It is true that the devil has over filled this world with lies so that it has become hard to tell what the truth is. But not all are Gods children, we have to just keep fighting for Gods lost lover's.
Bless you!
 
We don't. We reject his bs.
There's a song called Psychedelic Sacrifice (Say You Love Satan Remix), I suggest you listen to it, you might like it.
 
People battle not only themselves in this world of self love and self indulgence, they battle the enemy lying to them on the TV (which they spend hours consuming every day.)

Consuming is a neat word though, it not only describes what non believers do it describes how Christ wants us to be toward God. Consuming means to take in totally to sustain. Christ meant that when He said He could live on the Spirit and not on bread and water. True life is in God, not this world.

Just know that not everyone gets it and preaching to a lot of these people is like preaching to snakes, they may bite you if your'e not careful. Even Jesus knew when to walk away from crowds, like the one that was about to stone him. He just walked through them and went on His way.
