God chooses out of His mercy to save some and it has nothing to do with God looking down a future lifetime watching them to see them chose for God and then electing on forseen faith.
You don't believe that God is omniscient???
God calls all things into existence before they existed. There is no prior or future creature existence that God bases His decisions on. Which is why persons are elected before the world was.
Wrong.
Instead of acting unconditionally, God reveals to us by using the term because that He many times chooses to act or interact with humanity based upon conditions. God sovereignly chooses to respond to our free will decisions, which include unregenerate mans ability to believe. God does this without impinging on our free will. If He were to impinge on our free will, He would become the direct cause and He could never say, Because you, or Because... anything other than, Because I. Instead many more times than space will allow (Ive counted at least 70 times just from Genesis to Jeremiah alone) God reveals to us that He responds based on conditions set or caused by men. Because you
Because of you
Because of them
Because I found you
Here are just a few examples:

Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."

have set your heart on seeking God."

No, the Father himself loves you
because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God.
