What about when Jesus says he came to give sight to those who cannot see and to make blind those who can?

I don't see anything unbiblical about it.

Yeah... that makes no sense.

I know. I'm just tired of how it seems to be so much easier for others.

Anyone, even terrible people, can say God spoke to them. Once again, I can't prove any of this.
