Read the next verse and you will find out how people are given to him by the father.

What, 'these things are written that you may KNOW that you HAVE eternal life'?

so one must say that faith comes from hearing...

And since this is how the father brings people to Jesus, AND we know that hearing doesn't fully mean people will CHOOSE to believe. Then thats another nail in the coffin for unconditional election.

John 6:44-45New International Version (NIV)

44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. 45 It is written in the Prophets: ‘They will all be taught by God.’[a] Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me.

The only way faith has meaning is by what we hear from the gospel. The only reason someone would deny such good news is because they love sin.

Even though people can can deny grace even the ones who hasn't heard are without excuse due to the fact God brings all people to him in one way or another. God has made himself evident through nature and other things since the beginning of time.

Just as Cornelius didn't know about Jesus. But his choice to respond to the pulling of God led him to find Peter who told of Jesus.

Its really cool how God calls all people, but sadly many wont answer the call.

If you feed the hungry but you are not saved,you did a good work,but that good work will not earn rewards If you are not saved.
Although Its a good work,Its dead towards salvation.

so the unsaved person is doing exactly what Jesus teaches, and this would be dead? dead to Jesus? would Jesus be displeased with someone doing what He taught people to do?

No one can go to the the son unless they are drawn to him by the father...

This needs looking into dont ya think ?...

Lets see firstly it seems you must also be ready to repent.

Which must come from the heart befor Jesus enters in.
mathew 1835.. revalation..to me anyways..
Father will treat each of you, unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”

Repentance from the flesh.. in black and white... works ...............yesi my lions...

Salvation is a finished work of the triune God, man is just the vessel of God's mercy, so if God starts the work in someone's life, He will finish it, it's God's work that saves and makes that salvation sure, God is not fickle that He would change His mind over what men do.

You are very mistaken, God has most surely changed His mind and it is always about what man has done.
