We live in a tradition that thinks the mind is the final arbiter over "truth" and the role of God in our lives.
It is not the mind or our intellect that will determine our eternal destiny.
In John 5 we witness that the study of the Scriptures does not ensure eternal life.The Scriptures bear witness to the One who gives life, that is, Jesus.
The people Jesus is referring to in John 5 read the Old Testament without seeing that it all points to Jesus and they fail to understand it's message.
In the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus, Moses says "if they even see someone risen from the dead they will not believe". That is true, if we have a "will" that is against God, then all the evidence in the world will not convince us.
Have a great day,
Peter Clark.
