    Many/most non-Calvinists speak of unbelievers as if they are in a position of neutrality. While this lecture doesn't directly address the Calvinist vs Arminian debate, it does so indirectly and brilliantly.

    Agree that neutrality is pretty much impossible.

    The lost are "lost"... they do not desire the Gospel of their own sinful nature's inner desire. But "all mankind" John 12:32 is being supernaturally "drawn" to God. And enabled to choose life.

    "I STAND at the door and knock" Rev 3 - but you have to choose to open the door and let Him in.

    "He came to His own and His own received Him not" John 1:11

    ALL mankind are drawn - John 12:32

    This statement is unproven and completely false.
