Christian 7 - This verse, Proverbs 16:4, doesn't suggest that God has created certain men for damnation. God is "not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentence." (see 2 Peter 3:9). Scripture nowhere teaches the doctrine of reprobation. Men are damned by their own deliberate choice, not by God's decree. The proverb means that God has an end, an object, or purpose for everything. For every cause there is a result, for every act a reward or punishment. By His ordination there is the day of evil for the wicked, just as there is heaven that He has prepared for those who love Him. Perhaps the TEV rendering of this proverb will serve to bring out its meaning more clearly: "Everything the Lord has made has its destiny; and the destiny of the wicked man is destruction." Additionally, the reading of this verse within the context of Proverbs 16:4-7, the theme of which is God's sovereign control of human life, may yield a better sense of perspective and understanding to verse 4. --Hank | ||||||
