    Agreed.
    Yes, it is my position that all are drawn, because that is exactly what scripture says.

    Jhn 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
    OK.
    Only if you completely ignore Jesus's own words in John 12:32.

    No, they have the ability, they just do not use it. Just as three men were given talents (money), two used their money and earned more, one hid his money and did not use it.
    Your only necessity is to make scripture fit your doctrine. If you did not believe in Calvinism, you would not have the least difficulty in believeing all are drawn as John 12:32 says.
    I would disagree, I believe you are trying to make scripture fit Calvinism, but it does not.
    I'll be waiting.

    If you would make all scripture harmonise, then you would have to consider John 3:14-15 in reference to John 12:32. The "all men" in John 12:32 is pertaining to all that believe, and not all mankind.
