Title: Unless Father Leads...?
Before sending his son to the land of Israel, God thoroughly trained the people of Israel by sending the law and prophets. Israel, who had been living under the Law and the Prophets for about 2,000 years, was completely cut off from the world and believed in only God as the only God and lived. They had been trained through the angels representing God for so many hours, but when they sent their Son Jesus to their land, they knew no one about the Son of God at all.
Of course, even if they saw and experienced God's miracles and miracles directly through prophets or angels, they only saw the outward form of God. It is correct to say that they had no idea at all because they had never experienced it up to that time. On the other hand, the reason that they did not recognize the Son was that they had their eyes covered purely because of their sins, but even if they did not commit evil, they could not recognize the Son of God at once. Therefore, no matter how excellent human wisdom and knowledge is, it is not possible to know any part of God's attributes properly, and also, by human arrogance, no one can fully approach God.
The way to approach God is that it is possible only through the Son of God, but since no one can recognize the Son on his own, he cannot approach the Son, and only comes to the Son through the one who calls him. As recorded in the Bible, God the Father's will is that all people will believe in the Son and have eternal life. That is, God the Father trained the Israelites through angels representing God for about 2,000 years in order to give them eternal life. Then he sent his son to their land. However, they do not know their son even after receiving such training. At this time, the Father is showing mercy to the Israelites once more. The content of mercy is that he sustains those who humble themselves as sinners or those who live under sin but struggle to live for God in their own way, and lead them to the Son.
That is, the one sent by the father never casts out the son either. Jesus speaks these words in several places in the Bible. The one sent by the Father can know how much he struggled to live for God. To say that he struggled is, in other words, someone who has already given up on himself. On the basis of this, the Father sent such a person to the Son, and therefore the Son will never cast out such a person. However, those who come without the father's will be kicked out by the son at once if they do well ten times and fail even once. no! Even if the son doesn't have to kick him out, he loses the fight with himself, and in the end he can't stand it and disappears. Most of these people come to them only after hearing other people's stories, or they come here because others say they are the Son of God, so they cannot endure it for long. Such people have a 99.999% chance of encountering the Son of God. If it collides with the Son of God and is broken, only humans are harmed.
