Sure the natural man cannot believe the gospel. It's the regenerated person that believes the gospel
No person can come to Christ by their own freewill !

If “free will” means that God gives humans the opportunity to make choices that genuinely affect their destiny, then yes, human beings do have a free will.
The world’s current sinful state is directly linked to choices made by Adam and Eve. God created mankind in His own image, and that included the ability to choose to believe the gospel and accept Jesus as Lors and savior.

You just ignored the scriptures I posted
Those who do not believe will not see life
John 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 3:18 The one who believes in him is not judged, but the one who does not believe has already been judged, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God.
Mark 16:16 The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who refuses to believe will be condemned.
John 8:24 Thus I said to you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
1 John 5:12 The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life.
1 John 5:10–13 (The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. The one who does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has testified concerning his Son.) And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. The one who has the Son has the life; the one who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life.
Those who do not believe do not receive life - that is, regeneration.
Your view, however, holds some unbelievers, i.e. the elect do receive life—that is, regeneration.
That is contrary to what the scripture states.
So scripture refutes Calvinism’s belief that unbelievers may be given life so that they may believe.
Sorry, regeneration is the receiving of life
Scripture states those who do not believe can receive it
You are clearly rejecting God's word with your claims

God determine everybody's destiny before they were born or Made
False claim
As God desires the salvation of all
1 Tim 2:3–4This is good and acceptable before God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
2 Pet 3:9The Lord is not delaying the promise, as some consider slowness, but is being patient toward you, because he does not want any to perish, but all to come to repentance.
Ezek 18:23Have I delight by any means in the death of the wicked, declares the Lord Yahweh, and not at his turning from his way, so that he lives?
Ezek 33:11Say to them, ‘As I live,’ declares the Lord Yahweh, ‘Surely I have no delight in the death of the wicked, except in the wicked returning from his way, and he lives. Turn back! Turn back from your ways, O evil ones, for why should you die, house of Israel?’
John 3:16–17For in this way God loved the world, so that he gave his one and only Son, in order that everyone who believes in him will not perish, but will have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world in order that he should judge the world, but in order that the world should be saved through him.
1 Tim 4:10For to this end we labor and suffer reproach, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of believers.
Titus 2:11For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people,
