1 | Vessels prepared for destruction? | Rom 9:22 | CDBJ | 70381 | ||
Greetings Makarios, your post reads, God does not create 'vessels of wrath prepared for destruction.' According to Genesis 1:31, "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. ..." And when God said this, He was including human beings! If this is the case, is Romans 9:21 not a part of the inspired Word of God? Romans 9:21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? Which one in Genesis is this talking about since there were only two that were actually created and how can Gen. 2:7 come before Gen. 1:31 for God to SEE it was good? When God made this statement Lucifer had long since been created and God knew that he wasn’t good. I am curious, as I have never heard this put quite the way you posted it. CDBJ |

I would like to also add that since Genesis 1 describes the creation of the physical universe and its inhabitants, angels (whether loyal or fallen) are perhaps not included in the "very good" assessment of Genesis 1:31. I DO agree with your understanding of pre-Fall humanity being very good, and post-fall humanity being like Romans 1 describes them: "And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them." --Romans 1:28-32 --Joe! |
