"Though seeing, they do not see;
though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is
fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah:
" 'You will be ever hearing but never understanding;
you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
For this people's heart has become calloused;
they hardly hear with their ears,
and they have closed their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn, and I would heal them.'But blessed are your eyes because
they see, and your ears because they hear. For I tell you the
truth, many prophets and righteous men longed to see what you see
but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear
it.
Matthew 13:13-17
No offense, but could this actually be refering to the "fervent"
christians rather, that though seeing they do not
see.....etc.
I believe what Matthew wished to tell us all, is to see what you
should believe what you see, cuz "those" though seeing, do not
"See"...like the free-thinkers do, i.e. an open and rational mind.

Thank you all, clap clap ~~~
