"There is none who seeks after God." (Rom 3:11)
"Now when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as had been appointed to eternal life believed." (Acts 13:48)
"So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy." (Rom 9:16)
"You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?” But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, “Why have you made me like this?” Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor?" (Rom 9:19-21)
Definitely 2 then.
No, I'm not.
