Who says they have no choice? They always choose evil.

Pardon the crudity of this illustration. Jesus is not Kobe Beef. But, say If I'm having a party where I'm serving, lets say, Kobe Beef. Everyone in the room is a completely starving person and yet, every last person, refuses to participate in my feast. I really want to show them what a blessing is before them. I want to fill their emptiness and embrace them with love, but they still refuse. Now, I'm given some special ability. I am able to take a special ability and change the mind of whomever I want to. I reach out, touch some of the refusees but leave others to their own desires. I never prohibit the and in fact testify all over the place, whosoever will make come and dine - but they won't. The reason that I don't go ahead and use my special ability is because I want those whom I have touched to learn from whence they have come, and how great my mercy was in touching them. They deserved to starve, but I had mercy on them. For the others, I allowed them their own desires which was to have nothing to do with my feast. Who is at fault that they starve?

You are. You created a room of starvers and you picked some to change; you left the others to suffer.

And you were capricious and cruel in your actions.
