atheist, do you wonder why God hasn't called you yet ?
As recorded in the book of John chapter 6:60-70 No one can come to God unless the Spirit draws them. There were people that tried to follow Jesus of their own freewill, but they fell away. So we learn from those scriptures, that the Spirit never drew them in the first place. Unfortunately that is a cold hard fact. Jesus would by no means cast anyone out that comes to Him, because He died for all, some have to come of their own freewill and some are called out. Shall the clay say to the Potter why make st thou me ? Just curious.... has the Spirit ever called you or are you one of those who have to come to Him with your freewill ?
I see from most of your answers that God hasn't called any of you. Johny said he used to be a Christian, which is what the chapter was talking about, these people were never called by the Spirit to begin with.....so they fell away..
Yes He did call me ......As a matter of fact when He did I couldn't keep myself from running to the alter in repentance !! Trust me when calls you...you will here Him !!!!
Nope, I don't wonder at all. How can something that doesn't exist call me?
EDIT: Hope you feel better about your faith by calling yourself more of a Christian than those who "fell away." Here's a video that shows what you're saying http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byHYeHN4ZUQ&feature=channel_video_title.
You see, first, I don't accept that there is a God. However, ever if there is a God, the chance that the verse you quoted is an accurate description of God is virtually nonexistent. Are you able to understand that?
I only gave him my number yesterday. Isn't the standard wait 3 days? Meh, he wasn't really that interesting so I won't be bummed if he decides not to call. Plus the long distance charges would be killer.
Do you wonder why the flying spaghetti monster hasn't called you yet?
As recorded in the book of Pasta Chapters 1:11 no one can come to him unless the sauce draws them. There were people that tried to follow FSM of their own freewill, but they abandoned the pasta for the Atkin's diet. So we learn from those scriptures that the mighty sauce never drew them in the first place...
Accept the flying spaghetti monster. I know he lives in my heart. He changed my life.
Honestly. God is a bunch of Mumbo-Jumbo.
I believe in Science, know..... cause it actually makes sense? It's not he said- she said for 32487648564735478 years. It's facts. Scientific facts, "God" didn't make Shiite, nature did. Mother Nature herself.

Rob Bell is just genius. Man, recently my greatest quote has been ''The fool hath said in his heart ''there is no God'' ''
Why are you even asking atheists this question? They are going to respond with neither...
As for your "cold hard fact", it is anything but. A fact is something that is verifiable pr oven and is unquestioned by the scientific community as well as the average community. "The sun rises, and the sun sets" is a fact. Yours is not. Yours is a belief.
Yeah god keeps spamming me text messages and leaving annoying voice mails. No but seriously I was a Christian and I prayed for a reason to keep believing, and no answer came. So does this mean god is choosing to keep me out of heaven or something? I do not wonder why God hasn't called me because I no longer believe that a God exists. It would be like me saying to you "do you ever wonder why Allah hasn't called you yet?" And you would be like "WTF, I don't even believe in Allah."
Weatherseal called me today, even though I hardened my heart and told them not to ring again only a week ago. I don't want new double glazing.
And if God wants to call me, He knows my number.
