}|}-}No.  You didn't read verse 27 very close or so it seems.

}|}-}It will be visible, just as the lightning is.
}|}-
}|}-To a blind man, though something is visible it will not be seen.  And there
}|}-appear to be many blind to THE WAY here - including you, apparently.
}|}
}|}You know He made the blind see, don't you?
}|
}|Not all of them.
}
}I assume you know that during the 1,000 years of peace, which happens
}at that time, there will be no sickness or pain - I'm sure blindness is
}covered, aren't you?

That's just part of a false belief.

BTW:  In the peace of the grave after planetary genocide there will be
none blind either.  Nor breathing...

}Much less verse 30 of this passage tells us that all tribes will see..

Maybe they did.  But since they have all left, it would be hard to check.

}|}I've lost you Mr. Meritt - which THE WAY are you telling me I am blind to?

}|Pointing has done no good.  You see nothing but the end of the finger.
}
}Maybe your pointing is VERY AMBIGUOUS.  You in this discussion assert that
}the end has come and we missed it, because we aren't worthy - I did even
}declare someone's worth, but pointed out that the return will be visible.
}
}Since it appears I am a little slow/dense to you, could you state your
}point - I've missed it.

It is in this post.  Try again.

}|}-Food for thought:  Notice how there are many claims made about how clear
}|}-the "word of god" is, yet there are still those who do not see the same
}|}
}|}Scripture tells us that things of the spirit are hidden from those without

}|
}|And this is from you, so the conclusion would be that you don't have the

}
}NO this is not from me - I paraphrased it.  It is not directly a reflection

}of God is.

Nice disclaimer.  "Just out of my mouth - _I_ didn't mean it"

}|}-thing?  What makes you think that this is not just another example of
}|}-selective blindness, refusing to see what you don't want to?
}|}
}|}Scripture also tells us that people are blinded due to thier own desire
}|}to believe the lie.
}|
}|The lie the "you'r viewpoint is not special"?  Yup, your desire to believe 
}|that lie seems to have blinded you to much.
}
}You didn't point out the thing to which I am blinded.  The Scripture tells
}us that God sends a delusion to those who refuse to belief the truth and
}love wickness.  I know my heart is wicked, but thank God I have believed
}the truth and so have eternal life in Jesus the Christ, the Son of God.
}Can you say that and/or can you state your belief?

I just did.  YOUR viewpoint isn't special.  See what I meant when I said that
even when pointed ouit you wouldn't see?
