Jun 20, 2019 at 21:14 comment added Sola Gratia Fair enough, however I think the soteriological version as well as the historical episode requires a real setting out on the journey, whereas according to Calvinists, no reprobates actually receive the grace to do this initial setting out on the Christian journey. Again, Jesus says, "they believe for a while;" shoudln't we take Jesus at His word, that they did believe, but were tempted, drawn away, "grew" (were not always) cold, etc? This be not the right place for this discussion, though.

Jun 20, 2019 at 20:08 comment added Sola Gratia I'm not entirely sure Jesus is referring to this instance. Isn't He referring to going along a path, setting your hand to the work, and then giving up and going back to something else? Reprobates cannot be said to ever truly put their hand to the yoke, can they? (Cf. Luke 8:13: "the believe for a while") +1 in any case. I'm marking your answer as the answer until further notice. Thanks.
