Yeah it must.
And God draws all people to himself. In fact. He convicts the world of sin righteousness and judgment.
God will draw by using many things, Creation (romans 1) the word. Other christians, the conviction of speaking to you in your heart.
You still have to make a decision to become bancrupt in spirit like the tax collector did and call out on the name of the lord to be saved.
God does not force people to receive him, and he does not refuse to allow others the ability to receive him,
We are chosen called and elected based on the will of the father, the will of the father is whoever sees and believes will never perish but have eternal life.
Just as moses raised the serpent so must the son of man be raised so whoever believes....God did not cause the people who died because they refused to look up to die in the wilderness of snakes. And he did not force people to look up at the snakes and live
In the same way the cross.
I'm afraid most of your conclusions are based on man's wisdom.
I could have agreed what you said about John 3:16 but like most people, [this passage is the most read verse in the world but the least misunderstood] I'm pretty sure you have no inkling as to it's meaning either. For example, you believe that the word "whosoever" means "anyone" right?
Not necessarily so! the "whosoever" are those whom the Father gave to His Son, before the foundation of the world.
Ephesians 1:4-6 reads:
4) According as he has
chosen us in him
before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5) Having
predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
6) To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he has made us accepted in the beloved.
The above is the Gospel truth. Do you really think "
anyone" can believe in Jesus Christ and be saved? Look at the devils, they believe and tremble!
