Subject: Mercy Essential? |
Bible Note: While it is not necessary to pin a doctrine down to a single verse to show that Scripture teaches it (find me one that directly states that God eternally exists as a Trinity, for example), Romans 9:22-23 definitely indicates that some are vessels of wrath who are prepared by God for destruction. Who are these people, in light of the fact that the whole passage deals with who is shown mercy? I would hardly called "being prepared for destruction" an example of being a recipient of mercy! --Joe! |
