The pastor opened his teaching with the question, "Have you ever wanted to ask someone 'HOW did you come to believe that?'" He proceeded to give an example of a conversation about beliefs completely contradictory to the Christian faith. Heads were shaking throughout the congregation in disbelief.
I personally do not ask myself those questions. It bothers me when Christians just expect everyone to 'get it', that is, to realize their worldly view of things is wrong or skewed, and to understand the gospel. I do not shake my head in wonder that the world is evil and rejects the gospel. The Bible has clearly said it would be so from the very beginning. I do not understand why it is so shocking to Christians that a world that does not love the Lord does not serve Him.
To me it shows that many Christians either undermine or do not understand just how deceptive our enemy is, how he can manipulate and pervert the truth in a very convincing way. He is very good at what he does. If it were not so wouldn't everyone believe?
