There is no indication in the Bible that God does anything but call a man
That is a sovereign action of God. What happens during this call? Is it general or effectual?
The parable of the sower (Matthew 13) is instructive in this matter. There are several soils receiving the same seed and only one takes root and produces. One might say only the elect soil received the seed.
Some might see that as being unfair.
And God continually, from beginning to end, blames the man for the sin he does.
Of course. We are 100% responsible for our actions. That is why God justly condemns us. See Romans 3
He never blames himself or any "fallen state" that prevents the man from obeying God
Of course God would not blame Himself. However, our fallen state does prevent us from obeying God's Holy Law. Again, Romans 3 comes to mind refuting your claim. So does every reference to the bondage of sin leading to death (Romans 6).
We are in legal bondage. Meaning we are accountable to God's Holy Law under the sentence of condemnation:
What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;
as it is written,
“THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;
[...]
Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; (
Romans 3:9–10,
19).
We are under the bondage of love of self and darkness.
This is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. (
John 3:19–20)
We are in bondage hating the supremacy (read sovereignty) of God:
For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. (Romans 8:6-8)
And of course the bondage of spiritual death:
You were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience — among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. (
Ephesians 2:1–3)
That is a lot to overcome on our own power and according to our own human will.
As children of wrath who love the dark, what do you think happens when the seed of the Gospel falls on such soil. See Matthew 13 again.
Yet God is merciful:
But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:4-7)
Jesus said that we come because God draws.
Yes He makes us alive in spirit as we were dead before His calling. Once again confirming God is sovereign in this "process."
God loves all men and wants all to come to salvation, we can assume he draws all men at some point in their lives.
I know God loves His Creation. However, if everyone was "effectually" drawn then all would be universally saved. You don't need to assume, as the apostle gives us keen insight on this in Ephesians 1:
Ephesians 1: NASB
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly placesin Christ, 4just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love5He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, 6to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. 7In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace8which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight 9He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intention which He purposed in Him 10with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him 11also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, 12to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory. 13In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
His Will, His Purpose, for His Glory alone.
That is my belief. He does not tweek them so that they can repent.
The Scriptures say He makes us alive.
Therefore your view keeps us all in bondage as pointed out earlier. You would have to substantiate here how a person without God's Holy Spirit can claim they are "good enough" to be able to see past the darkness while being spiritually dead to respond to the Gospel. It would be as if Lazarus had something to do with Jesus raising him.
There is no word that God does anything in a man so that he can be saved.
It surely does. He makes them alive (Ephesians 2:4-7).
And we cannot even see the Kingdom of God before being born of the Spirit:
John 3:NASB
3Jesus answered and said to him,
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
[...]
7“Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8“The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
Does not seem like we control when we born again. Once again a sovereign act of God.
Obviously it is as already shown above and in which I can provide more proof texts. However, I will wait for your proof texts showing mankind is sovereign in choosing God and can do so from a position of bondage.
This is a doctrine of men to relieve them of the responsiblity for their own eternity. Blame God instead.
This is your imagination at work.
First let me write Romans 3:20 over the top of this quote:
If you read what God said to the first man considering before hand a horrible sin, you will not find that God told that man that he has a sin nature or is fallen or cannot but sin.
Why did God kill an animal and use its skin to cover Adam and Eve?
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Romans 3:23)
“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness. “All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.” (Mark 7:21-23)
That is not God's viewpoint of man and sin.
I'm sure you could substantiate the claim above?
Once again allow me to write Romans 3:20 over the top of this quote:
And each man will stand before God and be judged by the deeds done in the body in one way or another. No "fallen nature" mentioned by anyone.
If you cannot admit the spiritual deadness of our fallen nature, then you will have difficulties explaining why Jesus took our curse on His shoulders.
