God's Judgement

God's Judgement

Romans 9:19

Rom. 9:19. Paul again anticipates an objection (“Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted [=anthestēken perfect tense, and continues to resist] His will?”) from his readers from what he has just argued: Mercy is neither a human right nor a divine obligation. Rather God extends mercy to undeserving men as He wills. Hence the objector thinks, if all rebellious men like Pharaoh serve God’s purpose why should God blame them? Could they have acted otherwise? Thus one may conclude: Is God’s will not the basis of human behavior instead of judgment?

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
