Why does God allow hundreds of millions of Roman Catholics to embrace gross error and then remain in that error all of their lives? Why does He do the same with millions of Mormons? Why does he allow the various protestant denominations to likewise embrace great spiritual error and remain believing and walking in those errors until their dying day?
Jesus had one saying He used a lot – even with His own apostles: “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” There is one thing God and His Son will never do – force feed the truth to another mind, even to the mind of one of their beloved children. To those who rejected the truth and demanded clarification and repetition from Jesus Christ, our Lord’s answer to them was, “I have told you before and you did not believe. Why should I tell you again?” Since He changes not, He would say the same today to any believer.
To God, spiritual truth is the pearl of great price. It is costly! When rejected it offends God greatly. When one embraces spiritual error it is because they have rejected spiritual truth. The roadway to truth is narrow. It is a difficult road that Satan has damaged with many potholes, and he has introduced many forks in that road. One must ride in the chariot of absolute obedience in order to miss the potholes and always choose the right fork in the road. Fail to board that chariot and it is a foregone conclusion you will choose the wrong fork in the road time and again.
