Yet some hear, some do not pay attention to what they hear, some listen for a time and then go after something else...poor roots and stuff.

But God knew from the beginning who would believe (naturally as God knows all things) yet God never takes away out Free Will in the effort to save the elect.


Keep up the Good work Libby!......you are an inspiration for us who cant always find the time to post here,
Bologna. If every man was drawn to Christ, why did He say this:

Jesus said "No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draw him: and I will raise him up on the last day.'' (John 6:44).

John 17:9, "I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom Thou hast given Me; for they are Thine;"
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.



Some are "sheep" and follow the Shepherd, Jesus. Some are not His sheep, and will follow any Tom, **** or Harry, who comes down the false prophecy trail with an interesting story:

John 10:10 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

If the Father draws all, why did Jesus make the qualification that none would be saved unless the Father draws them. Doesn't take a real genius to figure that out.
