That's how.

Sister Laura (I believe), that's right. I also thought about this verse:
2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
I guess since we are on the side of faith in Christ, it's puzzling and confusing why others will not believe. It is to me at least. Through the years I've witnessed to people who, after hearing the unfeigned word of truth, still reject it. It reminds me of:
Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.
