Yes a choice is presented, but just because a choice exists doesn't mean it's a free will choice. Men choose one way or the other depending on what God has purposed for them to choose.
If His purpose for them is to choose life, then He will be merciful to them. If that is not His purpose, then they will be hardened.
Your original request was "I want verses, not your empty philosophies that amount to nothing." I have posted scripture as you asked. You replied with your Philosophy. You did not answer my question about which translation you use. therefore I conclude you are ignorant (unaware). 1Co 14:38 KJV But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. I pray that God wil open your eyes and ears in the name of Christ. Good Day Sir/Madam.

It's not my philosophy. I can back up everything I say with verses.
So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. — Romans 9:18
