I have noticed that it is getting more difficult to reason with people. It seems most people are experts on almost everything. This is especially true when it comes to issues, such as morals and religious beliefs. Regardless of how uninformed or misinformed people are, they will not even open their minds to reason. They know the answers before the questions are asked. It is as if there is a pressure valve that shuts down their thinking when these subjects arise. The Bible says these people are blinded by Satan and love darkness because their deeds are evil.
The message of God enlightens and saves, but allegiance to the god of this world blinds and destroys.
Acts 26:18
(18) To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4
(3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
(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.
Spiritual blindness and resistance to God results in eternal loss.
John 3:19
(19) And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
