How can people reject the love, compassion and truth of Jesus Christ?

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.

You forgot to provide any evidence whatsoever of the truth of your claims.

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!

Why do you reject Allah, or Quezacotl for that matter.

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.

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.
