Bible Note: Hi Hank, Without drawing you into a debate: Permit me to reply by mentioning that Jesus said "John 6:64,65 "But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him. And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father." Why is it that some people do not believe? The reason Jesus gave them was that "no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father." The fact of their unbelief was the evidence that God had not granted them the faith which is the pre-requisite to come to Christ. Most christians today miss this fact because their pre-suppositions obscure the passage. We are not enabled to come to Christ by anything but the grace of God alone. That grace which opens our eyes and enlivens our ability to believe. John |
