Robin, You said: Cheryl, I’m somewhat surprised. It seems as if you are saying that people must first come to the Father before they can come to the Son. Jesus said that no one can come to Him unless the Father draws the person. John 6:44 (NASB) “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. There is something more that Jesus said in John 12, that I will be posting in a few days that is applicable. In John 6 the terms “come” to Jesus and “believe” in Jesus are treated synonymously. So no one can believe in Jesus unless the Father is involved. Jesus had already told the Jews that unbelief in the Father’s word results in unbelief in Him. If one refuses to believe God the Father’s word, will they come to (believe in) Jesus?
