No, I did not ADD "choosing" to Scripture.
My word "choosing" was my one word, of my understanding of God giving Adam authority to name the animals whatever Adam decided to name them.
Your understanding is your thoughts.
Your thoughts are adding the word "choosing" into the recorded scripture in Genesis 2:19-20 because the word "choosing" is not there in the passage which was carefully demonstrated to you in the post to which you replied.
It is NOT written "and God placed one of the four footed creatures in front of Adam and God asked 'what name do you choose for this creature cat dog or deer?'".
Nor does is say "Adam decided to name..."
Adam gave (assigned) names to the animals.
You are prolific at adding to scripture.
And? Why do you repeat yourself?
Unlike YOU, I am fully aware Jesus was SPEAKING TO the disciples Jesus "CHOSE".
Don't YOU read Scripture?
Don't YOU KNOW whom Jesus CHOSE?
Don't YOU KNOW whom Jesus was speaking TO?
Luke 6:
[13] And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
Luke recorded that there were more than 12 disciples with "he called unto him his disciples: and of them" (Luke 6:13), and Jesus chose 12 which He named as apostles from among all the disciples.
Luke recorded there being more disciples of Jesus than the twelve disciples named apostles, and the Apostle John recorded that the disciples were at the dinner recorded in John chapters 13-17.
John did not write "apostles" rather John did write "disciples" with reference to being at the dinner recorded in John chapters 13-17.
In "you did not choose Me, but I chose you" (John 15:16) as well as "I chose you out of the world" (John 15:19, includes salvation) Lord Jesus is speaking to all disciples that believe in Jesus in all time.
False Accusation.
God chooses, Men choose.
Blessed is the man WHOM Gods chooses!
Beloved is the man WHOM chooses God!
Pss 65
[4] Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
For Psalm 65:4, you wickedly subtracted "causest to approach unto thee" and added in "WHOM chooses God".
The psalmist wrote that God causes a man to approach God
THE PSALMIST WROTE THAT GOD CAUSES MAN TO APPROACH GOD!
CAUSES, not man chooses God, but GOD CAUSES MAN.
You proclaim "the word of you". For you adulterate the Word of God with "choose" such that it is no longer the Word of God.
1 Thes 1:
[4] Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.
That is a false translation.
The accurate translation is "knowing, brethren beloved by God, His choice of you" (1 Thessalonians 1:4).
God makes the choice of specific persons.
Persons do not choose God for the Word of God says "you did not choose Me, but I chose you" (John 15:16).
Still, no free will written in the creation account (Genesis 1:1-31 Genesis 2:1- 25 Genesis 3:1-24),
FREEWILL of a man...IS a mans "WILL", TO CHOOSE as he decides!
You certainly can Freely choose, to limit yourself to Scriptures that DO NOT say FREEWILL, and ignore the Scriptures whereby God beloves a man who freely CHOOSES Him.
There is not a single scripture that states man can choose God, so you are adding free will into scripture.
