I think jesus said it he's in John 6. They did not accept. Because they did not believe, the did not think they needed or want a savior, they wanted hand outs,
Jesus told them to seek for food which endured t eternal life, he would not have told them that the f they had no hop of finding it, they just needed the repent of their belief.

Brother, nature does not reveal the death, burial and resurrection of the Christ. It tells ppl there is God, but does tell them that God came as a man, lived a sinless life, was crucified, buried and resurrected three days later.
If all they need is natural revelation, then missions are useless. Faith comes from hearing the word, not looking at the earth and the surrounding universe.
Your beliefs are anti-Great Commissional, anti-Sola Scriptura. Faith does not come from natural revelation, but through hearing the word.

Do you believe these verses were meant for the Apostles only?
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. 39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. 40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
41 So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43 Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 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 will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46 not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.
And if so, were the Apostles given a choice? Or did God cause them to come to him by effectually drawing them?

When all else fails resort to character assassination and attack the poster.
Faith does not come from natural revelation but Romans 1 teaches that all men are without excuse.
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
