Yes, Jesus says several times:
Joh 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
Joh 6:65 And He said, "Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father."
John 6:37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.
John 6:45 It is written in the prophets, 'AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT BY GOD.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.
Let's put these together.
No one comes to Jesus unless the Father draws them.
No one comes to Jesus unless it has been granted by the Father
Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Jesus
The "drawing" and "being granted" is equivalent to hearing and learning from the Father.
Only those who hear and learn from the Father come to Jesus.
The good and necessary inference from the above is that not everybody has been given to Jesus by the Father. (All that the Father gives Me will come to Me)
Therefore, those Jews Jesus was talking too were not given to Jesus by the Father. They were not His sheep.
John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
John 10:29 My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand.
John 6:37 All that the Father gives Me will come to Me
John 6:39 This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.
Again, the Father has given certain people to Jesus as sheep.
All the Father gives to Jesus will come to Him.
It is the Father's will that Jesus lose none of them.
Therefore, Jesus does not loose any sheep.
Then what all about all the lost? Logical answer - they were not Jesus sheep
Joh_10:26 But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you.
But people will still stick their "whosoevers" and "whoevers."
Anyone can take certain passages from Scripture, to try to "prove" their THEORIES
As I have said before, and say again, John 3:16-18 DESTROYS the FALSE teachings of the TULI in TULIP!
Even John Calvin, who is supposed to be "Calvinism", says that this passage means
EVERYONE WITHOUT EXCEPTION
His comments on the use of MANY by Jesus in John 14:24, which is part of the Lord's Supper, is clear that Jesus Christ also Died for Judas! This is very clear in Luke's account, which is also admitted to by two very hardline "Reformed" theologians, Matthew Henry and John Gill!
