Bible Question (short): Are those drawn 2 Christ raised to life? |
Question (full): Tim, You had said, that If Christ did not draw, no one could be saved. Which I agree with. Then you went on to quote John 12:32 which says that Christ will draw all men to Himself when He is lifted up. Which I interpret to mean men of "all types" (Jew and Gentile) not all men individually but collectively. I say that because if you believe that Christ draws all men to himself, then all men must be saved because in John 6:44 Jesus proclaimed that "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. Notice that same one that is drawn by the Father is also raised up on the last day. Keep in mind the context of this verse, it is salvation. So if you hold to the belief that God draws all men (individually to himself, then you must also believe that those that are drawn will be raised to eternal life with God (John 6:44) In Christ...Doug |
