Hi chaseb, Welcome to my blog! Your point equates all those who are drawn as if everyone who is drawn is given to Jesus. However my point that I made was: It is important to note that the bible never says that all those who are drawn, come to Jesus. Unfortunately you cannot say that the Greek term for “drawing” means the same thing as the Greek term for “given”. The Scripture does not show these words mean the same thing. Also in Romans 8:30 the term “drawn” is not used at all neither is the word “given”. While I fully agree with your second point that no one can come to Christ without being drawn, my point is that not all that God draws will come to Christ. God’s drawing and God’s giving are not synonymous. They are not the “exact same thing”. I do appreciate that you took the time to give your thoughts. Do you have a response on my 5 questions that are listed on the first comment?
