Using the app?Yep.
I figured. It quotes without the link.Yep.
Could she have resisted God opening her heart?
If we were left to ourselves no one would believe. God solicits our response through the influence of our mind and emotions, our 'heart'.
I guess this was overlooked.
Okay, but why would no one believe if left to themselves?

That was irrelevant to the thread. You can start a thread on that, though. But if you could address the topic, that would be great.

Does anyone come to God without His drawing? No.
You negated your premise way back at the beginning of the thread...you just haven't realized it yet.
Not really the topic.Judas was saved, yet came to God initially without God's drawing thus not negated.
Old negative Jack
Oh, and it still has yet to be addressed.
