I asked my wife your question about the veil. She said," look it up".
I did. Very good question, chiefly:
The god of this world has blinded their eyes because they were stuck on their own righteousness.
Simon,
Didn't Drich say there were occasional exceptions to seeking.
Really, ALL of us would rather get woke up via a Damascus Road experience.
Notice though, when Paul was struck, he didn't rail against the light, but asked,
Who are you Lord?
I wonder if some would not react in humility?
Weird but "humility" is not a word that leaps to mind when I think of Paul. Do you mean the humility he displayed when he openly disputed the teachings of those who supposedly actually knew Jesus? Or the humility he displayed in trashing his people's sacred, God-given laws? That kind of humility? Yeah, I could probably muster at least that.
