The Church, the Body of Christ was in the Old Testament. Here its called tbe City of God Ps 46:4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

Wonder if The Father doesnt draw a person to believe in Christ ? Does that person have the ability to believe in Christ with their own freewill ?

Jn 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. The word “can” is a word of ability not merely will not accept. Why doesn’t man have the ability to come to Christ? Simply because they are dead in sins. Colossians 2:13 And...

That's part of depravity not seeking the true God nor understanding Him Rom 3:11 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

So it is man's final decision correct?

John 6:44 is indisputably disclosing to us that no one person can come to the Lord Jesus Christ by his or her own freewill ! 13

False witnessing

Only the election of grace is. Paul knows some of them were yet blind and unconverted. The beloved of the Lord are always a chosen people 2 Thess 2:13 13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to...

Coming to Christ necessitates Gods supernatural power [His Drawing] and not mans freewill so called Jn 6:44 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. The Supernatural Power is the Grace of God through the Power of the Holy...

A new heart means a new will. The new heart is the cause Deut 30 6 And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. But if God you not one of the chosen seed, we wont get a...

So Jesus teaches what is called total depravity or inability as the T in Tulip !

Correct, not unless they receive a new heart from regeneration

@Behold Thats the only way one will believe.

So coming to Christ, believing in Him is impossible unless its given to a man, which corresponds to being drawn by the Father, this confirms the understanding that Faith to believe in Christ for Salvation is the Gift of God Eph 2:8 , its through and by powerful grace, and not by the ability of...

In essence Jn 6:44,65 are saying no man can believe in Christ for Salvation unless its[belief] is given. Jn 6:65 65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. Phil 1:29 29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ...

If God was to leave a man to himself, what we are naturally, we would never be saved, we would never seek the True God , which is the God of Election Rom 3:11 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. We would never come to Christ, the True Christ that came...

Man is dead in sin and a slave to it. Don't change the subject to argue about predestination
