“I had a problem for a long time with Romans 9:13-21. I prayed for wisdom but still came to the conclusion that I could do everything right”

I reject that. The whole reason that Christ came and died for us is because we cannot possibly “do everything right.” In fact, I believe that unless it is done through Him, NOTHING can be done right by man.

You’re right. We CAN’T do everything right. Our thoughts, our actions, our beliefs, our everything are flawed and sometimes even evil. When we try to live without Christ, we can’t help but fail.
