I say it is few are chosen by God to Salvation.

I say it is God who knew at the moment of creation all those who would call on his name, and that there would be few.

Which intrepretation is more accurate, only He knows. I don't think it really matters either way, it comes to the same thing in the end. When one passes from this earth, either the Father knows ones name, or he does not.

Thanks for telling me what you say. Now let's see what the Bible says....

Eph 1:4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

The Scripture is explicit when it says we were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world, not at its foundation.
