Subject: Vessels prepared for destruction? |
Bible Note: CDBJ: I think the context makes it clear for those who have ears to hear. Thanks for helping to keep this a StudyBIBLEForum. 'You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?" 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? Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles.' --Romans 9:19-24 "The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever." --Isaiah 40:8 --Joe! |
