But no one will...that is the point...no one will accept His conditions because we are dead in sin and in reality hate God in our unregenerate state. So therefore we can never come to God UNLESS hHe draws us,,,in the Greek the word for the draw by God of the individual is literally the word DRAG. so man cannot come to Him on their own...God must initiate...coming to God is NOT synergistic in nature, where we cooperate, but is rather monergistic...where He predestines, chooses and hen draws the individual...

But no one will

Scripture reference? I can point to at least one passage that says that spiritually dead people make the decision on their own, and God meets him after he starts that journey.
