That was awful.
They started out by confusing DRAW (which means to compel by force) with INVITE (which is a completely different Greek word that was NOT used in that verse). Then they reverse “No one can come unless dragged” to “Everyone that comes was invited” and claim those two verses mean exactly the same thing.
Of course some people can refuse an invitation. That is the point of Romans 3 ... EVERYONE refused the invitation. That is why God then DRAWS (drag, compel by force) “His sheep” (John 10) to Jesus.
So no one comes to the party unless the Father dragged them there, but everyone at the party will raise the roof with the Son.
Who is it that you think is stronger than the Irresistible DRAW of God and was not at the party?
That was a hack job. I respect a good challenging contrary opinion, but that was not one.
Even Jesus gives self commentary:
65And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”
Well where did he ever say granted? its verse 44.
Even if you define Granted as forced dragging, nothing says all forced are saved.
You can only say that those who had been saved undergone granted, drawn, or forced dragged.
44“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.
Lets put on your glasses:
44 Everyone has to come to me If the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.
Both sentences don't mean the same thing. Look at the word CAN. Its not even WILL. It only points to a potential capacity.
And if you look at the greek its even more glaring using the word
dynatai. Which is basically "ABLE TO"
So even if you want to insist its a DRAG, it only qualifies the CAPACITY of ABLE TO δύναται.
What we would want is to erase the word Can, "able to" , Dynatai. and replace it with something that equates to WILL COME.
