Summary/Abstract: In Jacek Wojtysiak’s complex argument against the hiddenness argument of J.L.Schellenberg includes the premise of the existence of “nonresistant nonbelievers”. In this article, I present reasons why the classical theist should not accept this premise. Otherwise, he would have to assume that God is to blame for the existence of “nonresistant nonbelievers”. And this leads to the destructive conclusion for the theist that the Christian God is not a God of the omni-attributes.
