FK: Given that God certainly has the power to choose for Himself who He wants to be with Him, if He passes that decision to man, doesn't that mean that God doesn't care which of us chooses Him SINCE He wipes His hands clean of any responsibility for the decision?

NO. Are you reading from a pamphlet?

No pamphlet, just the Bible. :) What part or parts of what I said do you disagree with, and why?

Sending the prophets and the Old Testament scribes to tell us about His love, sending His only Son into the world to teach us directly about God and His love and ultimately to die for our sins, filling our lives with His Blessed Sacraments, graces and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, THIS is washing His hands clean of any responsibility?

He wants us to choose Him, but it is our choice.
