Bible Note: Greetings Edwin! Why would John 12:32 make nonsense of John 6:44 and John 6:65 if 'all' actually means 'all'? It makes perfect sense in accordance with all of Scripture. Rom. 3:23 tells us that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. 2 Peter 3:9 tells us that God doesn't want anyone to perish but all to come to repentance. Yet, John 6:44 tells us that no one can come unless drawn. So, according to John 12:32, Christ draws all men, in accordance with His desire of 2 Peter 3:9. It only dosn't make sense if one insists that God doesn't really want all to be saved. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
