Also in many cases, it is just plain bad theology, but maybe it’s easier to pronounce this “bad but good sounding theology” to the masses when it means more money might come in.

(II Tim 4:3 - NAS) “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,”

There I go again seeing the cloud in the silver lining.

John 6:35-40 (emphasis mine):

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. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. 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. 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.”

… followed mere verses later in v. 44: “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.”

… followed by vv. 47, 51:

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life… I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.

… then a bunch of “whoevers” in vv. 52-58…

… and finally in vv 63-65:

It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) And he said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”

Jesus certainly presents God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility as part of a single, coherent package.
