The fact that God offers the kind of help that an unregenerate unbeliever needs so that he can choose to believe in Christ for salvation is to be found the the very context that says "God Draws", No one come to Me unless the Father...draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:44.

Keep reading...

"Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father." -- John 6:65

Do all men "come unto" Christ? No. Therefore the Father does not give all men the ability to come to Christ through the free gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit who regenerates their spirits and renews their minds and gives them new eyes and new ears and a new heart.

"I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them." -- John 17:9-10

Right on.

The god (Satan) of this world sows confusion abroad.
