You may say, "hey, are you really that
stupid?"
[stupid - showing a great lack of common
sense. OED]
But there are many such among the children of God. They oppose themselves by not believing/acknowledging/obeying the truth of their salvation; instead, they insist on fables and fall into the snare of the devil. "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth..."
2Tim 2
24 And the servant of the Lord must not
strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
O the tender mercies of God our Father; He commands His servants to instruct those who oppose themselves, who the truth of their salvation, to instruct them the truth, if God perhaps will give them repentance to the confession of the truth.
Stop cutting off branches from the gospel
tree, doing so is injurious to yourself. Stop saying God offered you salvation;
He summoned you to life, He saved you when you were dead in trespasses and
sins, just like Jesus summoned dead Lazarus from the tomb. Instead, acknowledge
the truth and recover yourself from the snare of the devil; he is the father of
lies.
