| Rich,
It is not so much the lack of God giving the ability to people (after all, we know that God is the one who enlightens the eyes to see), but I cannot accept that God would reveal himself in paradoxes that in and of themselves, cannot be resolved. This is problematic, and has serious implicaitions regarding the clarity of scripture.
1Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion

Talk about taking Scripture out of context in 1 Corinthians...do you guys really infer from that passage your position that God would never reveal Himself in a way that we might not be able to fully resolve?
By the way, you guys confirmed what I thought: You will not,
a priori accept any Paradox.
So, from that standard, you rule out that God has withheld information and every place where an apparent contradiction occurs it is up to man's reason to fix the premises until the paradox is resolved.
I'll stick with being perceived as lazy. Much less dangerous...
