If you believe that God picks a subset of humanity to save then logically you believe that God created the rest for the specific purpose of torturing them eternally in Hell.

If you believe that God waits for people to decide whether they will accept Him or not, then you believe that God is not omniscient and omnipotent, and therefore not God.

You will say to me then, “Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?”
But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, “Why have you made me like this?”
Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use?
What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory—
even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles?

-- Romans 9:19-24
