Of course, humans are spiritual beings -- DEAD as a door nails spiritual beings.

If that were the case, why didn't Paul say that there is no good thing in my soul, instead of my flesh?

Rom 1 has nothing to do with God's drawing. Now go and read Jesus' dialogue beginning with Jn 6:37. Jesus didn't say all whom the Father draws to me will come! Follow the logical flow of the dialogue! Neither did Jesus say that in Jn 17. The Father draws only those whom He gave to Jesus...

Learning about ourselves is as equally a spiritual issue! Sin isn't a spiritual issue? Our moral conduct isn't a spiritual issue? Unless a sinner learns about his numerous spiritual shortcomings, what other way can he see badly he falls short of the glory of God? How else would he know...

Actually, the "drawing of God" does not come first. What logically and biblically precedes any and all drawing of men to Christ is God's gift of those men to Christ. No one would be drawn to Him if they had not been given to Him.

Good response! PLUS...numerous people in the bible had empirical proof of this, that or some other thing, yet they did not believe. Look what happened when Lazarus was raised from the dead. This was the spectacular miracle that actually triggered the religious establishment to murder Christ...

Neither is Heb 11:1 qualified.

And no doubt your closed mindedness is your best friend.

You're quite the poster boy for Agnosticism, are you?

But lost sinners have no normal, natural or instinctive understanding of spiritual gospel truth (Rom 3:11).

And at the same time per Law of Non-Contradiction.

I DO NOT limit anything! But Scripture does! First, God's saving grace is limited to the humble, per numerous scriptures. Secondly, God limits whom He gives to Christ. He does not and has never given the entire world to Jesus. Thirdly, this explains why Jesus didn't pray for the world in...

I thought only Piled High and Dry preachers or teachers can do that?

There's no such animal in this universe as multiple truths, since all truth is God's Truth.
