BTW-I would suggest reading Psalms 81 paying special attention to the following:

Psa 81:10 I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Psa 81:11 "But my people did not listen to my voice; Israel would not submit to me.

Psa 81:12 So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts, to follow their own counsels.

God chose Israel knowing He would have to give them over to their stubborn hearts. Israel is a type of many things but if it is a type of one thing it is how rebellious we are as a people to the things of God. It is an example of how we will not follow God even if we have a choice.

It is an example of how we will not follow God even if we have a choice.

But that's not entirely true. There are billions of people down through the ages who have made the choice to accept Christ as Savior.

We are born into this world with a sin nature and bent away from God, but God always gives us a choice to freely accept Him and follow Him or not. God gave Adam and Eve a choice to obey Him, and He has given each and every human being since then a choice.

The fact that more people will choose death over life, which God tells us will happen, is no reflection on God, nor does God make that choice for those people.
