Subject: Who Does God Draw? |
Bible Note: Greetings Bjanko! What I was trying to demonstrate is simply this: If as Calvinism teaches, only those who are drawn can accept the gift of salvation, then John 12:32 destroys the foundations of Calvinistic thought since everyone is drawn. From my perspective, this makes perfect sense. Christ died for all. He desires that all be saved. He offers salvation to all. He draws all. But, the benefits of salvation only apply to those who accept the gift. I was just curious as to how you understood these verses from your perspective. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
