NASB | Romans 9:20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it? |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 9:20 On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers [arrogantly] back to God and dares to defy Him? Will the thing which is formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?" [Is 29:16; 45:9] |
Bible Question: HELP! Is it Okay to give God an ultimatum. To ask him for something (reasonable and not material) if I stop a vice that I have eg. smoking |
Bible Answer: How about if your kid said "Dad (or Mom), I'll quit banging my head on the floor (definitely a vice) if you'll let me stay up and watch Dave Letterman (non-material, reasonable to a kid)."? I'd be careful about giving the creator of the universe an ultimatum. You can't enforce yours against him; he can enforce his against you. Besides, breathing is sufficient reward for quitting smoking. The same can be said for any vice. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones who used smoke three packs a day. |
