Questions John 6-7

1. John 6:39 - And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day.

How does God choose?

2. 6:44 - For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up.

Is the last day the end of the world? Since God created us all, why does He draw some and not others? Doesnt He want all His creation in His presence?

3. 6:47 - “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes has eternal life."

What about doubt? If you doubt, how can you truly believe right? So doesnt that mean since everyone has some doubt, (dont they?) then how does one truly believe?

4. 6:58 - I am the true bread that came down from heaven. Anyone who eats this bread will not die as your ancestors did (even though they ate the manna) but will live forever.”

Was the Manna that they ate in the desert Jesus, even before He was crucified?

5. 6:67 Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?”

Whats the reason He only chose 12? Any symbolism behind it?

6. 6:70 Then Jesus said, “I chose the twelve of you, but one is a devil.”

Why did He choose Judas since He even said but one of you is a devil. Why would he choose him still?

2. 7:30 Then the leaders tried to arrest him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his time had not yet come.

I noticed that in the gospels it states this many times, that His time had no yet come... Where it says no one laid a hand on Him, was this all supernaturally?
