Yea and if that were the case scripture might say thins like "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."
The ones who aren't selected then have no responsibility for their damnation
Logical fallacy, if everyone is a sinner and thus deserving of death selecting a few to save does not mean those who were not saved deserved damnation any less than they already did.
God is making no arbitrary statement here. He has told us who He will have mercy and compassion upon: those who are in Christ Jesus.

Your assertion of a logical fallacy, is in fact, a logical fallacy. Arbitrary selection of a few souls for salvation, those souls being equally unworthy as every other soul, is wholly unfair. God is "no respecter of persons", and the same sentence of death stands for all. Picking and choosing shows partiality, and defies his own judgment applicable to all.
