How does allowing your heart to be hardened differ from the case where God purposefully hardens your heart so as to further restrict your free will?

[b]What do you mean by spiritual blindness ?

The inability to see the Truth of God.

blindness cause by lack of any spiritual belief or blindness cause by an excess of any spiritual belief

Caused by sin. Whether you have the lack or an excess of any spiritual belief.

no god hence no truth of god.

I'm sure you regard any time not reading your jesus cult book as a sin

Do you think that God can deal with sin if it is not confessed?

jesus may have died for your sins but I prefer to take personal responsibility for mine

Sin also causes this. Organised religion does not save anybody from sin. It is only once you see the truth of God.

yeah yeah yeah, three bags full of the same old cr*p

Ignorance is not a sin and can be remedied. The problem is when a person refuses to be remedied from sin which then causes spiritual blindness.

Thats lucky. If ignorance was a sin you'd be in deep trouble

Your blind from having nothing but the bible in front of your eyes

I know it's easier to try and make up your own "Truth". Do you have any point of reference on which to base your "Truth"?
