So God calls, and no one responds? What's the point of God calling if no one responds? And wouldn't that invalidate John 6:44? Because as it says: No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. - John 6:44...

2 Thessalonians 2:13-14; Romans 10:9-15

Answer the question, do you think that sheep refers to Christians? If not, then I agree with you, because sheep refers to Israel, as Jesus "was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." If so, then we disagree, because not once does Paul refer to believers in the Body of...

So does the "none" in Romans 3:11 include those who ARE called by God? John 6:44 Because last I checked, both verses are true.

THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING, B57! God called out to everyone in every single one of those passages, and guess what happened? THEY REJECTED GOD! And it's BECAUSE John 6:44 (AND it's corollary that man CAN come if he is called, and the corollary to that, which is that man can also REJECT God after God...

Saying it doesn't make it so. Duh. Matthew 23:37 - Jesus came to Israel, calling out to her for three years. Israel refused to be gathered by God. Hosea 3:1 - God loved the children of Israel. But they went after other gods instead. Isaiah 30:15 - God wanted to save Israel through returning...

And it appears you are missing what the rest of the Bible says.

Again, something I agree with, but you're still not hitting the point of contention.

@beloved57 Here's more verses that show that God is willing, but man is not: Then the Lord said to me, “Go again, love a woman who is loved by a lover and is committing adultery, just like the love of the Lord for the children of Israel, who look to other gods and love the raisin cakes of the...

They're not sheep until they go through the door.

Not the point of contention.

Which I agree with. But again, that doesn't hit the point of contention.

You're missing the point of contention again.

The problem (that marke has as well) is that "sheep" isn't talking about Christians. It's talking about believers of the New Covenant Christ made with Israel. Different set of rules for a different household.

Because you say so? False statement not found in scripture.
