Default Re: Why can\'t I believe? (is it a genetic predisposition?)

No, I don't worry about that. If there was an inborn inability there are still plenty of others around showing they have the ability.

But if you grant that there are some people that are incapable of believing, how does this jive with things like heaven/hell/free-will/etc. Do you take a Calvin-esque position and conclude that there are a set of chosen people (the ones that do, in fact, have the ability to believe) that can make it to heaven, and a set of people that are pre-destined for hell?

Or are you a milder form of Christian that doesn't actually think you have to accept Jesus in order to receive salvation?
