A stubborn brute ( Romans 2 v 5 )

 There are people who get fixed ideas ,like the earths flat,or a person in the cults,no matter what one says to them they will not change. I heard of a famous atheist who said ,'even if one could prove there is a God, he would not believe. ' Consider how tremendous things our Saviour did,and the wonderful words he spoke ,but all to no avail,they just would not believe. There is a saying that goes',Convince a man against his will, and he remains of that opinion still'. This stubbornness comes down to the will, that's the fortress of men and women's hearts,their wills, that are captivated,by their fallen nature, and Satan's power..The sad thing is they will refuse to believe in Jesus. It reminds me of an Irish song, sung by Val Doonican, about a donkey ,that was entered for the half mile race,but it refused to move,They attacked it, shoved it, smacked it,but it would not move one bit,as the song says, they may as well have tried to push the town hall down,all the donkey did was eye them, and openly defied them.In the end they all carried the stubborn brute ,and believe it or not it won the half mile race. Its an amusing little song, that's all it is, but the fact is that mankind's stubbornness is no joke and has serious consequences, We read in Genesis 6 v 3,   God's Spirit will not always strive with man,and shortly after this we read God saying, ''I will destroy man''. v7.

                                                ' Come to the Saviour make no delay'
