Why Do Some People Believe But Others Don't?

Acts 28:24, “And some believed the things which were spoken, and some believed not.”

I've often wondered why different people adhere to different beliefs and even cults. Why are there 8 million JW's, 16 million Mormons and 21 million SDA's? That is interesting to me. Why is it that one preacher reads the Bible and sees Lordship Salvation, but another sees free grace?

I cannot answer these questions, but I am reminded of Jesus' words in 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘄 𝟱:𝟴, “𝗕𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁: 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝗱.” I humbly believe that anyone who is pure of heart, meaning that they sincerely desire to find the truth, will end up at Jesus' feet, for He is the truth (John 14:6). They will end up at the inspired King James Bible. They will end up where they belong. John Bunyan understood this truth very well, as illustrated in his book Pilgrim's Progress. There are many detours, pits and traps along life's way. The inspired Word of God is the light (truth) that will show men the way.

Social media is full of false teachers. They are proud, arrogant and unlearned in the Scriptures. Dan Corner is one of them, who teaches that you need works to get to Heaven. He denies eternal security. It is so sad. There is a Satanic army of Calvinists, eternal security and Trinity deniers, et cetera. 𝟭𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝟭𝟰:𝟯𝟴, “𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁, 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁.”
