Have you ever come across those people that just got it so twisted, it's just frustrations if you try to teach them. Like kids that don't understand why 4 X 4= 16, they just don't understand, and there's no real reasoning behind it. If someone insists stealing or killing is right regardless of how I show them that it's wrong, it's a futile cause. Often just 'cause I understand, I expect everyone else to as well. And if not, I get upset. It's a me that I've come to hate, 'cause I've been the one to not understand at one point. So what can I do but to just let it slide? If they don't wanna hear it, fine....go do whatever you want, when you figure it out, good for you. If not, well too bad. Why get upset over this kinda stuff.
I remember having a conversation with Enoch 'bout how some people are just meant to not understand. I insisted that it's 'cause we haven't done our all to make them understand. I think at men's cell he said I may have had a point, but of course I came with this opinion without getting my hands dirty trying to convince someone myself. I don't know if I can believe my own opinion nowadays. Some people just aren't convinced... and they won't be until they look through the eyes of the Holy Spirit. But if they have no intention in looking through these eyes, there's nothing I can do...'cause it's the Holy Spirit that makes them want it. Please correct me if there's a theological flaw in this. But it seems kinda cyclical....it's kinda saying to me that, if the Spirit comes, then it comes. If it was meant to be, then it was meant to be.
So, is waiting all we can do until someone does understand? I don't really know how you can teach someone to believe with their heart. I've been reading this book called "The Case For Faith", and after hearing all the arguments against/for Christianity, at the end you just kinda believe or not. If the Spirit touches you, you believe, if not then you don't. It's really unteachable. There's clues that are thrown around that show the truth, but at the end it's just a question of do you believe or not. It makes so much sense to me 'cause faith just seems radical enough of an idea to satisfy and permit acceptance from a holy ultimate being.
