But I don't take passages by themselves to make a theology. Yes they refused. But why?
John 10:26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.
They couldn't accept because they were not His sheep.
John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
John 10:4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.
Yes they refused that is clear. But Jesus tells us why they refused. They were not His sheep. The Father had not drawn them.
John 12:37 But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him, 38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: "LORD, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?" 39 Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: 40 "HE HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HARDENED THEIR HEARTS, LEST THEY SHOULD SEE WITH THEIR EYES, LEST THEY SHOULD UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEARTS AND TURN, SO THAT I SHOULD HEAL THEM."
You seem to be unwilling to let the whole Scripture inform you of what is going on.
so it is VERY CLEAR, that you DON'T have any answer to what Jesus Himself says in John chapter 5?
You say that those who are not Jesus' sheep, cannot hear because they are not His sheep?
Really? then WHY would Jesus even say what He does in John 5:25, addressed clearly to those who wanted Him dead. Listen to what Jesus says here
" Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live"
ALL the spiritual dead will indeed hear the Voice of Jesus Christ, but, only those who really hear, that is, to ACCEPT Him as their Saviour and Lord, will live
This is made clear from verses 39 and 40, where Jesus again says, the very Scriptures that you Jews are looking at for eternal life, are those that testify about Me as the ONLY Saviour and Messiah. Yet, it is YOU Jews who REFUSE to come to Me for this eternal life
Do you suppose that IF, as you say, that Jesus only Died for "the elect", or "sheep", that He would have addressed these Jews using the language that He does? Or, maybe Jesus did not fully understand what He was saying?
A person ONLY becomes a "sheep", AFTER they are saved, and NOT before this time! It is only AFTER a sinner is born-again that they are part of the "elect", and NOT before!
The FACT that John 3:16-18 says that God loves the entire human race, and those who from this human race were to accept Jesus as their Saviour, will indeed be saved. But those from this same human race who refused to believe, will be damned. This is what the Gospel Message is!
You cannot even deal with the FACT, as I have clearly shown in the OP, that Jesus Himself said to ALL at the Lord's Supper, where Luke informs us, that Judas was present, and took the Wine and Bread, that He was going to the Cross to shed His Blood for them ALL? Even John Calvin, commenting on the words of Jesus in Mark chapter 14, which is the Lord's Supper, where in verse 24 we read, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them". We would have here expected Calvin to say that the word "many", is here used only for "the elect". However, he is very clear in what he writes, "Which is shed for many. By the word many he means not a part of the world only, but the whole human race", which Calvin says is addressed to all His Disciples, which includes Judas, as he was very much there!
This FACT about Jesus Dying also for Judas, the very person who would betray Him, with the gravest sin, is more than enough to DESTROY from the Bible, ANY "limit" to the extent of the Death of Jesus Christ!. and YET, those like you will continue to reject this, in order to keep on pushing against what the Bible says, that Jesus only died for "part" of the human race!
2 Peter 2:1, is clear that Jesus Christ Died for those, like Judas, who will NOT be in heaven
"But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, and will bring swift destruction on themselves"
These CHOOSE to DENY the FACT that Jesus Christ had BOUGHT, that is, Died for them on the cross! This same Greek word ἀγοράζω, is used in 1 Corinthians 6:20, 7:23; Revelation 5:9, etc, which is for the Blood of Jesus Christ being shed for salvation!
These are FACTS, not your fancy handling of the Word of God for your "theology"!
