Does God allow spiritual blindness to exist to fulfill his purpose.

Has the veil been torn only to those who believe in Rom 10:9.

Does God give power to nonbelievers through spiritual blindness.

Why do some hear and receive the calling quicker than others.

The gas lighting is in Gen 3:1, 4-5, Did God really say...

Jhn 8:42-47 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. 43Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

1Jo 2:18 Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

1Jo 2:22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.

1Jo 4:3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

2Jo 1:7 I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, making them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, it attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's belief.

I believe the subject of the veil is a great one. Why would God hide behind a veil at all? But that "Pillar of Fire" have always done so. Revealing only snippets of Himself at a time. Some recognize it but most don't. At the cross the veil was rent from top to bottom and the mercy seat came into plain view. Now we could see the God of the Old Testament.

Since God wants all men to come unto the knowledge of the truth, He puts spiritual blindness only on those who are firstly wilfully blind.
Has the veil been torn only to those who believe in Rom 10:9.
Yes
Does God give power to nonbelievers through spiritual blindness.
No
Why do some hear and receive the calling quicker than others.
You would have to ask God.

Not sure if any of this has to do with psychological manipulating.
