Why Some People Refuse to Believe No Matter the Evidence - Matthew 11:16-30 (Session 20)

Why do some people refuse to believe even when the evidence is right in front of them?In Matthew 11:16–30, Jesus compares His generation to children who are impossible to satisfy. John the Baptist lived an austere life and was accused of having a demon. Jesus ate with sinners and was called a glutton and a drunkard. No matter what God did, the critics found a reason to reject it.Jesus then pronounces judgment on Chorazin, Bethsaida, and Capernaum—cities that had witnessed His miracles and still refused to repent. Glenn and Steve discuss judgment, human responsibility, God’s knowledge of what people would do under different circumstances, sovereignty and free will, and why theological systems often struggle to explain an infinite God.The passage then turns from warning to invitation. Jesus says, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” The burden of trying to earn righteousness through religion is heavy, but Christ offers rest, grace, and a yoke that is easy and light.Matthew 11:16–30 | The Book of Matthew — Session 20Questions discussed in this session include:If a skeptic were to see a true miracle, would they then be satisfied?Is there a judgement to come? Does God draw all people to Himself with the same degree of force?What is Molinism and what questions need to be answered by this system? Support the showThank you for listening!!  Please give us a five-star rating to help your podcast provider's algorithm spread RTTB among their listeners. You can find free study and leader resources at the following link - Resource Page - Reasoning Through the BiblePlease prayerfully consider supporting RTTB to help us to continue providing content and free resources.
