Christians!!!!! Jesus(God) Chose his disciples!! Does this mean that he chooses us as well?

Is this what Jesus meant when he said to his disciples, that they did not choose him but, that he had chosen them??? Jesus said that he came for his lost sheep, and he told others, that they didn't believe in him because, they weren't his sheep!! To me, that means that we all are not chosen!!!!

    When a child in a class room is "chosen" by the teacher, how does that child get chosen? He raises his hand. This is much the same method that God uses when He chooses people.

    Nope. That's the benevolence and omniscience of your (three) god(s).

    They created people to burn for ever in hell.
