Is unbelief an intellectual problem?
With Chuck SmithAll answers with Chuck Smith →
Chuck Smith, The Unpardonable Sin (Matthew 12:22-32): And don’t try to give Him that baloney that you had too many intellectual difficulties. Because He will blow that one write out of the water. He said the reason you didn’t come to the light is because you loved darkness rather than light because your deeds are evil. It is not an intellectual problem that’s keeping you back from Jesus Christ. It’s a love for sin, it’s the evil heart that you have. Your desire to persist and continue in your evil perverse way. That’s what keeps you from coming to Jesus Christ. Scripture, King James Version: John 3:19, "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.".
