And had it not been that God wanted the Gentiles to be a part of the Family, He would not have blinded and deafened the Jews who would have heard Jesus and accepted him.
Did or was it God that blinded the Jews? Really, god takes away fee choice to choose, self, or God
"Unbelief" to God is choosing self over God. Is that not what the first Adam did? Chose to believe he wouldn't die, if he ate from that tree? He did not know the truth, so ate and found out the truth, the flesh he was in was then as dead to God, yet was not dead to self in this world, yet to God is dead (Romans 8:3). God came to save the Soul through for us all through Son after his
willing death for all flesh to reverse the curse of the first Adam, that first ate in "Unbelief" then Jesus died physically in belief to God Father, his Father, now our Father those that believe God. Then was/ is raised from the dead as proof to the disciples he is God from God as a part of God forever for us to get saved in God's Spirit for us, those that are
willing to be dead, see this truth
