our "choice" ....
Yet God is in complete control.
It's a mystery, I don't understand it, but I'm not at the extreme of either end.
And then there is the verse, "You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you."
One pastor explained it like this - you decide to straighten up your life, and you get saved, and you walk under the archway of "salvation," the one with the sign that says "Come! Repent!"
And then you turn around, and on the back of the archway it says, "You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you."
How do those things work? I don't know.
But going to EITHER end, you have to ignore a lot of Scripture - there are lots of Scriptures that say God chooses us and there are lots that tell us to choose Him. Both are correct.
