Sorry, but man has free will to accept or reject God. God does not force himself on anyone.
You are missing an important point. You are missing everything in the discussion, in fact. You need to think again about what free will is and what it is not.
More to the point, perhaps, you need to think about what the will is. It is not something divorced from the person. It is an expression of the person himself. If we consider the will as a faculty, it is the choosing faculty. The person himself exercises his will. The will is actually the person's choosing.
This creates an enormous mess which you have overlooked, I think. The problem is, fallen sinners are EVIL.
***
Augustine first, then the Scholastic theologians, then Calvin--then all of the rest of the Reformers and the majority of the Anabaptists!--all correctly pointed out that the will is NOT SUSPENDED ABOVE THE PERSON.
The Jesuits argued this idea of "the suspension of the will" when they tried to defend the Papacy against the monumentally serious charges brought by the Protestants, but the Jesuit position is actually patently stupid.
My point is that the will is obviously not a neutral faculty. It is an expression of the sinner.
As I said earlier, fallen sinners are evil. They love darkness rather than light. Apart from supernatural regeneration, they will not receive Truth in a saving way. They will freely chose not to do so.
In other words, their free will is their disaster, because their free will, although free in obvious respect of responsible choosing, is a will bound to their natures. And they are by nature only evil.
Apart from sovereign regeneration by the Spirit, their free will is oddly but necessarily enslaved in their own evil. Apart from supernatural regeneration, they are doomed in unbelief. The problem is, they prefer unbelief. They are hardened idolaters. They are under Satanic power.
What is even more important, the Lord Jesus Himself clearly condemns the notion that evil folks can/will chose the good in a saving way. He says that they WON'T.
So, the idea that man has free will is true. A man will always do as he pleases. But an unregenerate sinner will never be pleased to choose from the heart that which is contrary to his Christ-hating, Creator-hating, Truth-hating heart!
The sinner has to be supernaturally given a new nature before he will repent and believe the gospel. Thus, regeneration has to precede conversion, not follow conversion.
(This is why we pray to the Lord for the conversion of sinners!)
Check me out on this. This historic Protestant perspective is taught practically everywhere in the Bible.
In other words, the will of man is not free in the sense which people thoughtlessly assume for it!
