Yes AG, Rabi’s testimony is indeed glorious to all people who earnestly seek Truth. But to those who do not, it is despised, rejected, ridiculed, even hated. When Truth is freely given to such as these, they inevitably give expression to the darkness of their spirit by pouring scorn, ridicule and cursing upon the human bearer of this precious, life-giving gift, thereby re-crucifying the One Who is the Truth, the Way and the Life.

Truly I understand your frustration, dear sister in Christ!

But "ears to hear" are a gift of God. If signs and reasoning were enough, the Hebrews (and Egyptians, btw) would have all believed:

And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: Yet the LORD hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day. And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes are not waxen old upon you, and thy shoe is not waxen old upon thy foot. - Deuteronomy 29:2-5

Ditto for the Greeks:

For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; - I Cor 22:23

Loving God, believing Him and trusting Him is the best we can do. We testify but the increase is His.

So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. - I Cor 3:7

God's Name is I AM.
