You want to say you can not believe something that is revealed as truth!
If God revealed to you that you will get hit by a bus at 3 PM on the corner of 1st and 7th and that you should not go there because it will result in paralysis an chronic pain for the next 30 years and then you will die and go to hell, but to rather go to His son who will lead you down a different road and you can avoid all the torment.
And as this is real revelation from God, you will find someone that will choose the bus and paralysis and pain and hell!
How absurd
Ask any atheist if they have received revelation that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior, and have your picture taken with the idiot that says yes, he prefers to be tormented.
Your false teachings are that the natural man can indeed understand the Spiritual and that it is not spiritually discerned therefore not folly to him.
Why do you keep on misrepresenting the Bible?
Wake up. All of creation is a revelation of God's existence but men still deny it

This is scripture Your theology is not
John 20:31 (KJV 1900)
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.
2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV 1900)
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV 1900)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:
It shall not return unto me void,
But it shall accomplish that which I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Psalm 19:7 (KJV 1900)
7 ………………………The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
Psalm 119:130 (KJV 1900)
130 The entrance of thy words giveth light;
It giveth understanding unto the simple.
Romans 10:17 (KJV 1900)
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
If men cannot understand scripture
why did God harden men lest they believe
John 12:40 (ESV)
40 “He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.”
If they had no ability to believe
similarly
Acts 28:27 —KJV
“For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.”
Why does Jesus speak of men closing their eyes lest they should see and their heart growing hardened if they were born hardened to start with
if they had no ability to see and born already hardened
Jesus spoke to men in parables to prevent their understanding
Matt. 13:10–14 —KJV
“And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath.
Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:”
Why employ parables to hide truth from those who cannot know it ?
Why does the god of this world blind those who have no ability to see ?
2 Corinthians 4:4 (KJV)
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.
