You demonstrate that not only do you not understand John 1:13, while hating God's ways, but you also don't understand the other texts you've given.
You're pitting Scripture against Scripture again Tom because you hate God doing things according to his own purpose, counsel, and will. As in making alive the dead to receive Him, electing whom He wills based only on His purpose, counsel, and will (not man's will) and due to nothing about them at all; 1 Corinthians 1:26-31.
More rhetoric no scripture no exegesis of scripture given
You offer only bald denial
demonstrating you are unable to deal with the scriptures posted
There are two acts in that passage
God regenerating - that is entirely him man has no part, That takes care of all your objections
believing - this man must do
Maybe you should forget what your theology tells you and think
and BTW there is nothing in faith that saves of itself
Salvation is what God does
BTW your interpretation of 1Co 2:14 is wrong as well
2 Tim. 3:15 —ESV
“and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.”
John 20:31 —ESV
“but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”
Rom. 10:17 —ESV
“So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”
and by the fact you must believe to be regenerate that is have life
John 20:31 —ESV
“but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”
John 5:40 —ESV
“yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.”
John 5:24 —ESV
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.”
as for
1 Cor. 1:26–31 —ESV
Ҧ For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.
But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong;
God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are,
so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.
And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption,
so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.””
Not a thing is stated about making the dead alive
nothing is stated about what is or is not in them
election based solely on his (unconditional ?) will is not mentioned there either
you have read all your theology into the passage
The point of which those who were wise in the wisdom of the world were rejecting the cross while those not depending of human wisdom were much more open to believing
