1 | can you please explain this verse? 20? | Rom 9:19 | ItsMee | 141448 | ||
I was reading Romans and came across 9. I am somewhat disturb because I either do not understand what it is saying, or I do and it rubs me the wrong way. Dont misunderstand me, as I am not looking for my ear to be tickled. When something rubs me in the wrong way while reading the bible I know that the problem is with ME and NOT God's word. My question is, what context is this verse in, and can you please explain it in a way that is easier for me to understand? I also have a question about verse after, which is verse 20: "Romans 9:20 But who are you, a mere man, to criticize and contradict and answer back to God? Will what is formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus?" I always had this vision of God as someone who wants us to ask him questions as a child does thier father. I can see this as a question a child would ask a father. Is it criticizing God to ask a legitiment question such as this? If so, why? |

Thi is getting to the heart of the debate free will vs predestination. Books have been written on this subject. This is not asking God a simple question, but questioning God's ability to make judgements. Was it really our free choice to get saved, or was it God who opened our hearts? After Rom 8, Paul is leading to Rom 12. Esp vs 1 and 2. I urge you, in view of God's mercy. Ie, in view of God's mercy to choose us (Rom 9:16) The questions are in this context. Greentwiga |
