John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him: and I will raise him up in the last day. John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself. From the first moment that a person looks to the Godhead the process of being drawn by God to Him occurs over perhaps even decades in the lives of individuals. While on that path the disciples of Jesus may perhaps encourage and plant the seeds of the scripture or reinforce and confirm with love for God and each other... Unfortunately on that path some disciples actually do discourage and condemn climbing into Gods chair and pronouncing the eternal destinies of those who are still on their paths into the kingdom. Why would we do things other than share the scripture and confirm our love to God and each other? We disagree in love in this forum without condemning... the power is in the words of the Spirit and the Spirit doing His working within each of us... stop attempting to convict, convince and convert others to our own personal understandings to prove who is right or wrong in a debate... just present the scripture... MY $.02 worth this morning...
