Seeking Truth

Although I am not a Calvinist, I would like to address your questions for Calvinists: 1. You said that the verse can be rephrased as “One can come to Me when the Father draws him.”, but that affect the Calvinist interpretation. Instead of it being “those that the Father draws will be raised up”, it is now “those that can come will be raised up”; which is the same thing. Which ever way you phrase the verse, it does not say that only those who do come will be raised, but rather all who can come will be raised. 2. God draws our souls to come to Him (entices if you will) through His Spirit. If He is drawing us, then His Spirit is already inside of us, and therefore we will be raised up at the last day. 3. While the problem is within man (his nature), the solution is in God. Only God can change a man’s nature.
