So everything BELOW is literal except the word draw ?You already know this because I have told you many times.
You are focusing on the literal meaning of draw. But the text in question uses a metaphoric meaning.
A moth is drawn to a flame. This does not even imply that the moth is physically dragged to the flame.
The moth is attracted to the light. The moth is not dragged to the light.
It is the same for us and God. It is not a physical dragging, it is a spiritual attraction
Your method of bible study doesn't hold water. Th reason why is because it doesn't fit into your theological BIAS correct ?
John 6:37,44-45
37"All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.
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. 45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught of God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.
