Writing on inspiration Dr. Graeme S Bradford in Chapter 2 of his book More Than a Prophet (Biblicial Perspectives, 2006) says:-
"Could it be that God gives sufficient evidence to believe; but never removes all cause for doubt? Could it be that God has so weighed the evidence that the honest in heart will know He is there; but those who do not want to believe will find hooks on which to hang their doubts? Let us face it, different people can look at the same evidence regarding Christianity and some believe while others doubt and remain sceptical. Both belief and disbelief alike can come about as a result of a disposition within the person. Finding God is not so much an intellectual pursuit as it is a heart experience. God says, "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart" (Jeremiah 29:13). God respects human freedom. This is in harmony with the Great Controversy theme well known and understood by Seventh-day Adventists. The light that God gives us is clear enough to guide the honest in heart; but not so blinding as to take away our power of choice."
