We are a culture of choice. Individual choice. Independent choice. Not much matters to us as much as our right to choose. So as we approach the dilemma of Romans 9--namely, the large-scale lostness of ethnic Israel--it is no surprise that our default explanation is: "That's just their choice. God can't do much about it, whatever His plans may have been." But what if that is not Paul's answer? What if God's choice reigns supreme?
