Some say,  "we can come to God" or "I can choose Him" or "I have a "freewill" so choose Him" and "I can coöperate with God". 


 What does the Bible say about the condition of men:

--..who were dead in trespasses and sins." (Ephesians 2:1)....
--"we are haters of God"... (Romans 1:30).....
--"the carnal mind is enmity against God"- (Romans 8:7). 
 --"Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." (John 1:13) 
--"For it is God which worketh in you, both to will and to do of his good pleasure."(Philippians 2:13) 
--"Even when we were dead in sins, hath he quickened us together with Christ; (by grace ye are saved.)"(Ephesians 2:5)
  --"No man can come to me..... (John 6:44), ...that no man can come unto me.. (John 6:65), 
---.....for without me ( Christ ) ye can do nothing." John 15:5;
---in John 15:16: "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you."

Romans 9:16: "So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy."

When we talk about free will it is almost always with regard to sin and salvation... not free will in some general sense. The question is whether the sinner is "free" to choose Christ or not? No, he is not. He is by nature hostile to God (Rom 8:7), loves darkness and hates the light (John 3:19, 20). This is the only thing we are discussing when the topic of free will comes up.

When the term monergism is linked with the word regeneration, the phrase describes an action by which God the Holy Spirit works in the human heart, without this person’s assistance or coöperation, because and again "A man can receive nothing... John 3:27 "No man can come to me.. John 6:44 ..that no man can come unto me,.. John 6:65 "...for without me ye can do nothing." John 15:5..."he is by nature hostile to God" Romans 8:7,..loves darkness and hates the light. John 3:19, 20

All men, yes all men is by nature, are not free to do good or evil, but are held in spiritual bondage to sin and the devil. Jesus refers to man's bondage to sin when He says, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin" (John 8:34).

"Freewill" teaches that man's choice is the decisive thing in salvation. HELLOo heresy alert!! This is a denial of predestination. Predestination means that God's will (God's choice) determines all things, including who will be saved (Ephesians 1:3-6)

Are you saying that 'salvation depends on human will', but the Bible teaches that 'it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy." (Rom 9:16) and that we "were born, not of...the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:13)

In scripture we see this shown to us in John chapter 6:44 and, that no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws him. John 6:37 says that all that the Father gives to Jesus will come to him and all who come to him will be saved. If you put the two ideas together, you can plainly see that is a person is not saved it is because the Father has not given or drawn that person to Jesus. God chooses who will be saved. And He does so based on no condition that we (humans) can meet. Therefore, God choice of who He will save is unconditional from our point of view, not by our own choice, good works,, faith, believing etc.
