This post represents just another of your bogus allegations.
You ignore the following just so you can claim that God caused Israel's blindness rather than they themselves by giving themselves over to the devil rather than coming to the light:
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 “Even if our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish; in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.”
You ignore that it is man's yielding to the will of Satan, that they worship themselves and their own intelligence more than their creator, which blinds them:
Romans 1:21 Because, knowing God, they didn't glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, …............ 24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts........... 26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions................... 28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind,..............
Romans 2:4--6 “Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God; who will pay back to everyone according to their works”
How dare you or anyone blame God for anyone's being blind. Only the ignorant would claim that God blinds anyone.
Get the sense of this: 2 Corinthians 3:14 “But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament;
which vail is done away in Christ.”
They cannot have that vail removed from their hearts so long as they keep rejecting Christ. And they do not come to the light because why?
John 3:19-21 "And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God."
Yet you say I am the one who ignores Scripture. yet clearly it is you who cannot see, or worse, refuse to see.
"Woe unto you that are full! for ye shall hunger. Woe unto you that laugh now! for ye shall mourn and weep."
Luke 6:25
No, I am not ignoring these verses they are absolutely true but none of this would of happen if God did not plan it. You look at the world though sin and death and yes sin and death are big factors when it comes to the conduct of man. Yes, man needs to repent and change his ways but it is impossible for carnal man to do this with his carnal brain with out the grace of God drawing man from his state of being dead in his trespasses and sins. it takes the cross, the blood of Jesus and the power of God to draw man out of his dead spiritual state. That is what you do not see.
Yes Satan has power to do something things over man but this would never happen unless it was God’s will because Satan is not an angel but a negative vessel in the hands of an all powerful God.
You ignore God caused man to fall
That there was a savior before there was a sinner
That Jesus blood is far greater than the sin of Adam
1 Peter 1:19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 20 He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you 21who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
You quoted: 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 “Even if our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish; in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.”
God is not calling all men so sure they are blind. Can a dead man see? God has not called them, draw them quicken them. He will in his timing.

And why would carnal man not? He is a dust man… Satan’s food for Satan was cursed by God to eat the dust of the earth. All the above is true for they are natural carnal men and never called. God has many ages to do this.

I never blamed God it is all God’s plan from the moment he put Adam in a deep sleep Carnal man has never came out of that sleep. He is dead in trespasses and sin all God’s plan.
It takes the power of God to remove the veil over there flesh for they must be drawn out of their carnality. They have no freewill to save themselves.
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw (Greek drag) him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
It was God's plan before Adam sinned.
Psalm. 90:1-3. "Lord, You have been our dwelling place in all generations. Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You have formed the earth or the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. You (God) turn man to destruction; and say return you children of men.
(NIRV) Romans 8: 20 The created world was bound to fail. But that was not the result of its own choice. It was planned that way by the One who made it. God planned to set the created world free. He didn't want it to rot away completely. Instead, he wanted it to have the same glorious freedom that his children have
