Yes @CoreIssue scripture does say that God chooses the poor as you said....
Paul speaks of this as the ‘internal’ calling not the general calling to all people.
Read, about the INTERNAL calling those of the chosen ones or elect. This calling of the chosen is what I eluded to in my OP.
(1Co 1:23) But we preach Christ crucified, to Jews a stumbling block and to Gentiles foolishness.
(1Co 1:24) But to them that are called, both Jews and Gentiles, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
(1Co 1:25) Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
(1Co 1:26) Consider your calling, brothers; not many of you had worldly wisdom, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth.
(1Co 1:27) But God chose the foolish things of the world, that He might put to shame those that are wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that He might put to shame the things that are strong.
(1Co 1:28) God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are.

I didn't say he chooses since I I reject Calvinism. I said most. Ever read that verse about a camel and the eye of a needle Concerning the rich?
