This is what makes us human and above the animals.
The only thing that makes us human and above the animals is, God gave Dominion to humans, which placed them over animals, it isn't any kind of science telling us we have the ability to choose that makes us superior.
Man's laws dictate that we know right from wrong and we are responsible to make the right choices in life.
Those are Gods laws which do that.
Man might know the difference between right and wrong, we might even have all of the Laws written down for us to study night and day, but Paul said.
Rom. 3:23
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom. 5:12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Therefore having all the laws in the world and all of the knowledge of right and wrong, has never kept one human from sinning, now that is what your Free will or ability to Choose is all about, which is something man does not possess, he lost it in the Fall.
We have inherited a Corrupt Human Nature from our Father Adam, we Naturally tend to sin, and always will, it's what we are, it's what we do, even after our Salvation our flesh still wars in our Flesh against the Spirit in us.
The Bible says many are called but few are chosen. We respond to God's call by living a life of holiness and sanctification.
The Parable which that quote came from is talking about the Jews loosing the Kingdom, they were the ones CALLED to the Wedding Feast, but rejected their Messiah, therefore the man without the Wedding Garment (The Robe of Righteousness) was not allowed to stay.
It has nothing at all to do with God Choosing some, even though He has Called everyone in the world.
We respond to God's call by living a life of holiness and sanctification.
We respond to Gods' Grace, by living a Sanctified life of Holiness through Christ
Gal. 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Yes we still have animal hormones but we are called to control our human nature. Again man requires that of us and God requires that if we want to serve Him and be used by Him. If we want to take our priesthood and our calling serious.
Where do you get the belief we have Animal Hormones or that they control our Human Nature.
As I have stated before, WE Cannot Control anything we do, All Have Sinned.
We didn't evolve from Monkeys we don't have anything from Animals.
Adam was Created a Human Being, separate from the Animals, to have Dominion over all of Gods' Creation, we do not inherit anything from Animals, were were Created in the Image of God.
Gen. 1:26,27
26) And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
As far as us taking our Priesthood and Calling seriously.
Eph. 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
This isn't something we have to work at, we have been Ordained to do them, which is accomplished by the Holy Spirit Dwelling in us.
1Peter2:9 "But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light."
Peter was not speaking to All Believers of all time, he was speaking Specifically to those people of that time, they were the Chosen People The Royal Priesthood, The Holy Nation.
