Bible Note: John, In your reading of Romans 9:19-26? did Paul understood "election" as something pre-ordained by God apart from our will? In other words, did he understand that some vessels (you and I) are divinely intended for destruction, others for glory? I don't want to make this polemical either, but exploratory. Colin |
