And since God created all things and this universe and he is the ruler of this universe why is it such a problem and stumbling block to believe that God does choose some and not choose others ?

Because God is then creating people for the express purpose of sending them to Hell.

That is not the God I worship, full of grace, mercy and justice.

Acts 10:34 “So Peter opened his mouth and said: “Truly I understand that God shows no partiality,”

Furthermore, if God is righteousness, and “in him there is no darkness at all” (John 1:5), then he would not willingly send anyone to hell. Peter even reveals that in 2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

If you think God willingly chooses to randomly send people to hell, you don’t understand the scriptures.

But isn't that God's choice?

Eph. 2:8&9
Rom. 9:22-24
