False doctrine is difficult to point out to many people because they are not seeking truth but are only interested in hearing the doctrines they want to hear. They want to believe their false doctrine so badly, they refuse to listen to anything that contradicts it. When this happens, a hardening of the heart takes place because truth is rejected from the outset. This is the typical result when people set out to prove a conclusion already drawn, rather than drawing a conclusion from the proofs present in the text. Finally the person’s heart gets so hard, no amount of reasoning, logic, or scriptural support will convince the person he is in error.
