So then the scripture is wrong the Father does not draw, it is the Holy Spirit?

To try to limit a function or characteristic of God to a certain member of the Trinity is absolutely inane. The same characteristics are listed as applying to both Jesus, the Father and the Spirit in multiple places.

Only one of us is posting the word of God.

If you cannot recognize Biblical themes and content then I cannot make you do so. If you are so unfamiliar with the Bible that you do not know of the first and second Adam parallelism, then we are at cross purposes. If you'd like me to spew out some Scripture following each theological point I make, I'm sure I could. After all, if a person can't find a Scripture to support their idea (no matter half-cocked or offbeat the idea is), they really aren't trying hard enough.

So then why does Jesus make distinctions on the roles of the various members of the Trinity?

He said the Father draws , the Son saves and judges and the Holy Spirit teaches and convicts . I would say there is a reason for it never being said that the Holy Spirit draws.

Obviously we do not agree on the" themes "and so only reference the Scripture make this anymore than suppositional doctrine . I am asking for scriptural proof of what you say is true . Some times that can be various verses, or it can be a summary of biblically taught truths.
