The rest is, he's given you a choice either to except it or reject it, that simple, if you don't you will go to where he's not , and that would be the opposite to what he is.
Please let me explain the irony in this statement using an example. If I say to a child: if you tidy your room I'll reward you from now on; if you don't I'll punish you from now on. If you then add: the choice is yours. There is no way that this could be called a choice any more than you could call the "choice" that you mention a genuine choice.
