37If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

Notice Jesus doesn't say here " i do the works of my Father, you are unable to believe. Because you were not chosen to be saved .

Jesus is actually reasoning with them as if they are responsible to believe.
You coming out of left field. Christ still said who He specifically died for Jn 10:11,15

You are right Christ is telling us who He came to die for. And unless you are a Jew you aren't one of them. This was said before Salvation was sent to the Gentiles. The sheep in this case are Jews that He came to die for. The Bible wasn't written all at once, It was written in different time periods. Christ said this before He died which started the church period. These people at this time were still living under the Law. These verses do not apply to you.

In the beginning of the ministry of Jesus Christ he came to the Jew first. Because it was the Jews He came to save but, the Jews rejected Him. This changed everthing. When He sent Peter to witness to Cornelius is when Salvation became available to the Gentiles because of the rejection of the Jews.The Gentiles were included to make the Jews jealous.

God has to do that.
In other words you claim what you say is true yet you can't prove it. Christ died for the world not just the elect the saved do not need Salvation. Christ didn't come to save the righteous He came to save the lost.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
