| Christians: Didn't Jesus tell us who are of God, and who is not being drawn to
Christ by Him? John 8
47 "He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."
John 6
44 "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' "
John 14
22 Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"
23 Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24 He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me. "
Garden Man,
The 'other fold' are the Gentiles. I don't know where you are getting the next part; 'those who seem like children of the devil'. Where do you get that?
Oregon Flower,
Thank you.
5 Point Calvinist,
The time is ripe to preach the old truths. Why have they been forgotten for so long, and a different teaching put in it's place? Hmmmm.
I am not today giving anyone a thumbs up or down on this question. FYI.
