Sorry to bring this back up, I'm sure it's been talked about before and I hate to run a topic into the ground. But I was wondering why one would have to hold that Romans 9 is speaking about individual election. As many would like to argue and do argue the idea of Romans 9 is more of a general election. I fail to see how it is general, i hold to specific but what is thrown back at me then is that the reason i see it this way is because I don't understand the context in which Paul was writing. Supposedly this would trigger something within the people to whom Paul was writing to and draw them back to Jer 18 and Malachi 1 where individual election wasn't being talked about. Just wanted to know your thoughts. thanks.
