| HISTORIC BAPTIST DOCTRINE _________________ Drawn By The Father |
| Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. The one that Jesus will raise up at the last day is the same own being drawn by the Father. Webster's 1828 Dictionary: Draw - To pull along; to haul; to cause to move forward by force applied in advance of the thing moved or at the fore-end, as by a rope or chain. It differs from drag only in this, that drag is more generally applied to things moved along the ground by sliding, or moved with greater toil or difficulty, and draw is applied to all bodies moved by force in advance, whatever may be the degree of force. Draw is the more general or generic term, and drag, more specific. We say, the horses draw a coach or wagon, but they drag it through mire; yet draw is properly used in both cases. If an object does not move, then it has not been drawn, so everyone that is drawn by the Father will come to Jesus. Posted: Aug 9th 2005, 07:58 PM |
