So the Apostle Paul and Isaiah were wrong huh? This is all from Ephesians and Isaiah.

So you're saying that Christ is wrong, huh?

Compare what they said with what Christ, Himself, said. You are quoting song lyrics. Think they ever reflect temporal feelings by the author? Isn't that how most of Ecclesiastes is written?

Christ Himself said that man can come to Him. That same story also says that He meets us as we approach Him. Our relationship (like all relationships) is a two-way street. Thus we have responsibility for our portion of it.

Friend, what do the words "There are None who Seek For God" mean? It is repeated multiple times in scripture. What do these Scriptures mean? Why did the Apostle Paul include this in his indictment of Mankind under sin? The problem here is an underestimation of the effects of Sin upon Mankind and the effects upon the will of man. The common belief is that there are no effects upon man's will and that these repeated words of Scripture mean nothing.

Folks discount Christ's words that "No One can come to me unless the Father draws Him", thus missing the richness of what God does.

There is no more I can say except please look at these Scriptures carefully. We believe in having the Scriptures via the power of the Holy Spirit reform our minds. In that Spirit, I commend these words.
