Van, perhaps you simply don't understand what Peter is saying. Let's look:
Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,” and “A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
~ 1 Peter 2:2-10
First, Jesus is chosen and precious. God chose him, individually, before creation, to be the Redeemer.
Who was Jesus to redeem?
Each individual who makes up the Israel of God (read Romans 9), is a part of the holy nation, the chosen race, the royal priesthood.
Ephesians 1 tells us that the people, chosen for this nation, were chosen before the foundation of the world. Hebrews 9 tells us that each person, individually, had their name written in the last will and testament (new covenant) of Jesus, which gives us the inheritance God wrote down for us before the foundation of the world.
Van, your false teaching of corporate election is debunked everywhere in scripture. It is time to admit you are wrong...because the Bible tells you, not because your boogeyman haunts you.
