In Rom.1-8 Paul presented his thesis that salvation is for any Jew or Gentile who accepts Jesus.
Then in chapters 9-11 he addresses some objections to this thesis. One of which was to do with the fact that many in the nation of Israel had not accepted Jesus and therefore were not being saved. Was this outcome unjust of God? Did it imply His promises spoken originally to the Hebrews had failed?
Those are the questions which Paul now turned his attention to.
As you can see, that's a different question to the question debated centuries later by Calvin's and Arminius' supporters.
