For the sake of argument, let’s assume you, Cheryl, are correct: the people don’t believe, and for this reason (because they don’t believe) Jesus tells them they can’t come (since the Father doesn’t give unbelievers). A question for the non-Calvinist: What does it mean that “the flesh profits nothing?” Since the words Jesus spoke “are spirit and life” and yet after hearing Jesus’s words they still don’t believe, what is the mechanism by which one does begin to believe?
