Noah preached 120 years and only 8 people were saved. The gospel has been preached over 2,000 years now and how many people on the planet now?" And we have seen and do testify the father sent the Son to be the Savior of the world." 1John 4:14 " For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10 Now back to the question..........

Their ears were dulled.
Noah is a good example of People exercising their Free-Will. They chose not to Listen.

Just look around the world at all the different Religions, now think of how many people follow each Religion. I'd say the amount of religious people on the planet would out number the non-Religious. And look at how many people are on here asking questions, I'd say, YES, people are listening. Some people are running in the opposite direction because they refuse ti believe in someone they can't see, or hear, or scientifically prove, but, they ARE listening.

I think the person who plants the mustard seed is rarely the person who sees it fall on fertile ground where it will one day grow. Sometimes a seed blows wildly in a gale before it reaches a place where it can grow. The point is not that we see its growth, but that God see it. Take heart! I am absolutely certain someone is listening.

That's your problem. Who is "they". You make it sound like because "they" don't agree with you they must be wrong. Are you listening to "they", or are you preaching so hard that you don't hear "they" crying for a little tenderness and forgiveness, but stated in a different way? Don't forget that Jesus listened and listened well, so the real question is not Are "they" listening?, but are you listening to their needs?

Some people must be listening because the Bible says that the survivors of Armegeddon will be more than any man can number. Will you be among them??

Satan has deceived so many people that God's Holy Word means absolutely nothing to them in this day in age. Only God's elect will hasten to His call.

This kind of so-called 'question' disgusts me. I am disgusted by stupidity, willful ignorance and self delusion... which pretty much sums up the Abrahamic death cults of desert monotheism (Judaism, Christianity, Islam).
It disgusts me to know that three-quarters of the population of the USA is infected with some sort of insidious mental virus that leads them to the insane certainty that the myths, superstitions, fairy tales and fantastical delusions of a bunch of ignorant Bronze Age fishermen and wandering goat herders represent some kind of cosmic 'TRUTH' about fundamental aspects of existence and reality.
It disgusts me to know that so many people dwell in a delusional reality (per Genesis) in which a 6,000 year-old Earth is seperated from a 6,000 year-old Heaven by a solid 'firmament' structure (the sky).
I am disgusted by the fact that these people believe that they inhabit a magical universe, which they share with talking snakes (with legs) and donkeys, a shepherd staff that turns into an asp, demons chased out of people and into pigs, friendly spirits, evil spirits, walking on water, multiplying loaves and fishes, food falling from the sky, conception by a ghost, people raised from the dead, the sun stopping in its tracks, parting seas, people being bodily sucked up into heaven (which, by the way, lies on the 'other side' of the sky), world-wide flood that drowned the earth to a depth of 40 feet above the tallest mountain, creating people from a dust bunny and a rib, a magical tree of knowledge, god speaking from a burning bush... and ritual cannibalism, by eating god in the form of a cracker.
In a sane world, anybody running around spouting ANY of that crap, would be locked up in the State Farm for the Funny. Apparently, though, mass insanity seems to convey some sort of free pass for the loony.
It disgusts me to know that in our society, irrational, deluded people who ACTUALLY BELIEVE such nonsense is TRUE are permitted to vote, hold public office, procreate, and shape the minds trusting, vulnerable children.
It disgusts me to know that these same people think that there is something wrong with those who DON'T believe all of this ridiculous crap.
Get a grip.
