    Ok, let's give you a test then. What is the meaning of Matthew 7:1?

    Of course I did. I am using an English Bible and the original is Greek. However, I am not using a Bible that changed the meaning so I am not sure how you came to that conclusion.

    Then you agree the full context of the passage shows it is referring to Jews and Greeks and not individual persons.

    Actually, this is not correct. The word in Matthew 22:14 is not drawn but called. It has a completely different meaning in the Greek than drawing does.

    Many are called, or invited, but only the ones chosen actually are drawn in and answer that call.

    How does that prove that the verse does not mean that Christ draws all men because He was lifted up.
    You are the one with a problem trying to prove it does not mean what it clearly says. You have't done that yet. I suspect you would have to say it isn't true to support your man made doctrines. It Still says all

    I'm seeing a pattern. You never interact with my actual arguments, you just keep rambling the same thing over and over. Do you not have a way to argue against my point?

    He turned mystic when I asked him what happens to those who die never hearing the gospel.

    The problem here is that you would have to prove only some are drawn. Scripture never said only those chosen are drawn. This is a Calvinist idea it's just not scriptural. Maybe you need to read the whole passage. Tell us where scripture says only some are drawn.

    What is mystic about believing what scripture says. Anything is mystic to you that you disagree with. What you disagree with is the Word it self.

    Okay....


    No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.[John 6:44]

    If everyone is drawn by the Father, everyone is resurrected to be with Him.

    You don't have a point because you can't answer with scripture.

    He has answered you and refuted your position with scripture.

    Not so Calvinist. Neither of you are capable of proving your positions with scripture.
