How can Israel be disobedient if there isn't free will how could we keep His commandments which implies we can not keep His commandments if there isn't free will of course God is sovereign but in His sovereignty He chose to let us choose
Hello. Answer is in Romans chapter 11. Israel didn't obtain what it seeked, but the election, rest were blinded.
