Indeed, you are spot on the mark. Alhumdulillah.

Which verse in Surah 6 is that?

What about Surah 6, verse 125:

Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe.

What about Surah 9, verses 29 & 30:

Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah.s curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!

BTW, there is no historical reference anywhere about Jews calling someone named 'Uzair' a "son of Allah" - unless this was some hereto unknown recluse sect of Jews somewhere in Arabia. It certainly doesn't make sense according to the traditional Islamic interpertation of 'Uzair' being 'Ezra' the prophet, who was critical in returning the Jews from their Babylonian exile and beginningn the rebuilding of the 2nd Temple in Jerusalem. But this is a separate matter.
