Bible Note: You wrote: "Is this saying that God has made a list of those who will not/cannot come to him? Pardon the naivety but unless this is supported clearly somewhere in the Bible, then it is clearly just one of those utterances that seem to abound, concerning the plans and thinking of God. I'd certainly like to read this IN the Bible." For the concept of human nature being disinclined toward God, Romans 3:10-18. For passages which say where Jesus addresses who will/can come to Him or believe Him: John 6:37-40,44,65 John 10:25-30 Matthew 11:27 Luke 10:22 God's sovereign choice (without our consultation): Ephesians 1:4,11 Romans 8:28-30 Romans 9:18-24 Mathhew 13:10-16 There are many,many more, but that is a start. --Joe! |
