The absurdity of questioning God; the scriptural basis for Paul's rebuke; the difference between creating; and shaping fallen humanity; our responsibility for sin; the inconsistency of Paul's opponents; contingency; determinism and Christian certainty. Holy God, Fallen Man - Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Romans 9:19 19 Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he still find fault? For who withstandeth his will? One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’” 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use? 22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction? 23 What if he did this to make the riches of his glory known to the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory— 24 even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles?
