Romans 3:10-12 As it is written: "There is none righteous, no, not one; there is none that understandeth; there is none that seeketh after God. They have all gone from the way; they have together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one." For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God,... Isaiah 64:7 And there is none that calleth upon Thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of Thee; for Thou hast hid Thy face from us, and hast consumed us because of our iniquities. There is the plain scripture for you to consider.

Those verses only prove that man doesn't seek God,(therefore God seeks man). However, it doesn't mean that man can't seek God.

That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us.(Acts.17:27)That is 'plain' scripture also.

Even so come Lord Jesus

Yes, it is plain scripture, which you cannot plainly read. Nevertheless, you do affirm that man doesn't seek God. Game, set, and match to the Calvinist. Man doesn't seek God. Therefore, God seeks man. Whether or not man can seek God is apart from the point you have just conceded: namely that man does not seek God. Therefore, until God acts in His foreknowledge upon a man, that man will never seek God.
