I never said people didn't come to Him.

What I said is that He didn't sit around and wait for people to come to Him. He actively sought people out.

Read the gospels sometime. How many times did He say to His disciples, *Come on guys. Time to hit the road and preach the gospel in other towns.*?

Acts 10:34-38 34 So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality, 35 but in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. 36 As for the word that he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all), 37 you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

“Read the gospels sometime.”

Dear metmom, I read the Gospels every day of my life and have done so for most of my 85 years of life, especially ever since my Baptism at age 21.
