Bible Question (short): Who Does God Draw? |
Question (full): Greetings Bjanko! I am an Arminian! From that perspective, I have a question for you. You seem to be saying that only those whom God "makes believe" are counted among the "whosoever believes" passages. If God irresistibly calls people to salvation, how do you explain John 6:44 and John 12:32? John 6:44 says, "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day." John 12:32 says, "32 But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." The same word is used in both verses for the drawing of men to salvation. John 6:44 affirms that no one can come to Christ unless God draws him. While, John 12:32 says that Christ will draw all men. I look forward to your response! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
