Go to Romans 9...."Jacob have I loved, Esau have I hated." In Romans 9 Paul rejects the notion there is unrighteousness in God by choosing to love Jacob instead of Esau. God showed favoritism.

So? I don't see any problem with God showing favoritism.
I do have a big problem with the notion of a God Who is unfair, doesn't treat all men with righteous equity or lies when He offers them salvation...knowing all the while He has not chosen them.... and therefore salavation is really not offered to them at all.

(..and He knows it)

How can anybody trust a Gospel message, that preaches Christ died for your sins, and offers you salvation if you believe and accept Him as your Savior....UNLESS of course God decided He wanted to send you to Hell...then it won't do you any good to believe and accept the Gospel message...cause God decide before you were born to fry you in Hell...NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO or Believe.
What a wonderful Gospel message.. Incredible!

Since everyone would reject God if left to their own devices, your point is meaningless. If it were not for that, it would be a valid one.
