As far as the question on called and chosen, the simplest way to answer that is to say that it is like the King who invited people to the wedding banquet. The original invitees did not come, so He opened the invitation up to all. The called are all that the invitation we out to, which is all. The chosen are all that actually came. The reason why only few are chosen, is because only few came. It is just like Jesus said, narrow is the road to life and only few find it. The few who find life are called chosen as they came.
