What Heidi says makes some sense! I have spoken to people who seem angered at the scriptures, but not because they do not believe them per se', but because they do want to be held accountable to them.

I find this in my old church and amongst those who I once fellowshipped. (Not all of them of course) They tend to want to acknowledge God and His word but that's it. The second you want to discuss what God and His word mean in regard to us and our life theyshut down and often become angry. It's as if the gospel causes them to get "harder" even though they acknowledge it.

Dunno if that makes sense. I hope I explained what I mean well enough.
