Re: Is wanting to believe while having doubts a sign of divine grace?

God permits us to harden our hearts, but he does not desire any man to harden his heart against God and against God's truth.
If God permits us to harden our hearts, how does Orthodoxy explain the experience felt by those whose heart remain hardened despite the fact that they diligently seek God ...

Re: Are the Orthodox allowed to have patron saints?
