Your post was funny, but it didnt counter Revelation 22:17 and it doesn’t counter Mark 8:34 or Romans 10:13.

Sure it does.

God gave us all free will. Those who choose to be saved have made a choice, just as those who choose not.

We will always choose death. It is not until we are given a heart of flesh that we can respond in flesh. (BTW, free will is mentioned one time in Scripture, and not in the context of salvation.)

If God had already chosen who is saved and who is not, there would’ve been absolutely NO reason for Christ to die on the cross.

Actually, if we had free will we would not need the Cross. I would be able to choose not to sin, and them have eternal life on my own account, not that of Jesus.

“Actually, if we had free will we would not need the Cross. I would be able to choose not to sin, and them have eternal life on my own account, not that of Jesus.”

The ability to sin is proof of free will. You already have the free will to choose to sin or not to sin and also to choose to believe in Christ or not. But living a sinless life is impossible. If there was no free will, as you claim, humans would essentially be robots.

In fact, you’re claiming that we don’t have free will proves that we do.
