My desire has nothing to do with proving you errant. Paul's words do not need the filtration of a seminary to demonstrate that 'some' souls were chosen/elected before this present earth age began. Paul was doing his own will until he was literally stopped on his way to Damascus. Peter says there are three different heaven/earth ages. IIPeter 3.
Yet in John 3:16 there is a 'choice' given to those who would. Meaning some come born with 'free' will and others were predestined before as Paul says the foundation of this world. Ephesians 1:4.
you really need to clarify this thought with more citations
