487 Romans Chapter 9

Romans Chapter 9 addresses a number of issues including Election and God's Soveriegn choices, our right or ability to even question God, etc. But Paul addresses all those issues in the context of his simultaneously asserting Justification by faith and our responsibility to respond to the gift of Salvation. We could spend months consuming the theological meat contained in chapter 9 alone. Many men have spent large portions of these lives dedicated to focusing on the meat in this chapter, but I want to maintain the context of Paul's overall argument. I think it is within that context that we find a balanced understanding.
