Do you believe that man is free to choose God, of his own agency? Without, first, being "changed" in some way, by God, Himself?
I don't believe man has "complete" free will. We already discussed that. But, man is free to choose God, of his own free will, and God wants us to do that.
Which verses would you like to hear? Jesus weeping over man, in Jerusalem? God saying that he desires that ALL men come to him? There are verses in every book of the Bible that indicate that God knows we have the "ability" to turn to him, if we choose.
