[Just mythoughts]

Ok, but this does not help me understand to be chosen before the foundation if we were only a presence in the Heavenly Father's mind, this would indicate that he created the negative evil side, because it would not be fair to create some just for the purpose of being evil, only to then be destroyed.

The would take away 'free will' of some if they were created from the beginning to be evil.

chosen before the foundation... may not be referring to individuals but rather a group of individuals... just a thought. "Chosen" may not be a reference to salvation, but rather a calling or service unto God.

You and I both know that God creates nothing which is evil, so the correlation cannot be a valid one. God creates things that are good. They are then corrupted by us. God does however use ALL things (good and evil) to further His will.
