Nobody ever does, but at the same time they also offer no explanation for the statement in John 6:44 that the “drawn” by the Father are also “raised” by the Son ... while claiming “every individual without exception” is drawn and rejecting “some people from every tribe, tongue and nation” are drawn.
Regarding Drawn, Called, Responding, or Rejecting.
NO relationship can become established....WiTHOUT the agreement of TWO parties.
Many are called....<--- that is Gods Action.
Few are chosen....<----that is Gods Action.
The Calling is About...an invitation to Form a Relationship....WITH GOD.
Those who are CALLED....and themselves WANT a relationship ..... WITH GOD....RESPOND..."BY" that individual "HEARING" "READING" Learning "ABOUT" God...(OT men)...the promise of God of a Messiah (OT men)...the promise of God fulfilled...(NT and forward men)...when Jesus appeared ON the earth.
(It is not unlike any person wanting a relationship with another person...they approach, they introduce themselves, they tell about themselves, they express a desire to call on them....and the other person CAN respond or brush them off.)
Like WiTH God...(an a person and person)...
Learning "ABOUT" GOD....and a person learning "ABOUT" another person...
PEOPLE are being "ENLIGHTENED" to the Knowledge..."ABOUT" God...or "ABOUT" the other person.
PEOPLE are forming OPINIONS...
They LIKE this about God...
They DON'T LIKE that about God...
They LIKE this about the other person.
They DON'T LIKE that about the other person.
The Individual .... thereafter Decides and CHOOSES....to FORM a relationship WITH God, WITH the other person.....OR NOT.
A person who CHOOSES to form a Relationship with GOD....has Chosen To do so.
Scripture calls that..the man having MADE AN ELECTION of God.

1 Cor 1
[

Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Scripture reveals....ALL things are "OF" God...and "BY" Christ the Lord Jesus.
Which is to say....Every IDEA, THOUGHT, PLAN, INTENT, of God.......IS "OF" God and ACCOMPLISHED...."BY" Gods "POWER"...(which IS Spirit).
We can READ in the very BEGINNING...
ABOUT Gods "IDEA" of Creating the Heavens (Gods Throne and Habitat "FOR" Holy Angels.) And Gods "IDEA" of Creating the Earth For a Habit of His Created "MANKIND".
And HOW the POWER "OF" God, caused these thing to come into fruition "BY" Gods Power, WHO is called Christ Jesus.
Gen.1

God created the heaven and the earth.
[
2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And
the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
OF God, BY Gods Spirit (POWER).
