What people here have a problem with is NOT "what the Bible says". What people here have a problem with is what YOU say it says, which is usually remarkably wrong.

Evidently God enables some to believe and does not enable others. So if a person does not believe it is quite likely to be God's choice.
How has God enabling some to believe and others not, been a profit to spiritual growth in your Christian life ?
