Pearls to swine Don.......
I was reading 2 Corinthians this morning
In chapter 4, verses 3-4 I think we see the reason why we cannot get through with reason and plain speaking:
3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
