Someone mentioned to me the other day, how some people are made by God to be less then others. Yet this is not so, all people have a purpose and a unique ability. That makes them special; so where did this come from?
Quote:
So Paul is saying God makes people to fall, God is good and each person is special in their own way. To put people down like this, is to make people believe they can not follow what Christ says:
Quote:
How can you achieve this, if you feel the potter made you to not be a good vessel? Yet this is so wrong; from the Old Testament as it clearly goes against what is already written.
Quote:
This is saying that the potter understands what he makes the vessel for. Paul said the potter makes vessels to be of dishonor or not as good as others. Again this also contradicts Yeshua's parable of the talents, as certain people are given more talents then others, not they are a mistake for just having one, yet they need to learn with this one to make more.

Rom 9:21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel to honor and another to dishonor?

Mat 5:48 therefore be perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.

Isa 29:16 O your perversity! Shall the former be counted as the potter's clay; for shall the work say of him who made it, He did not make me? Or shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, He had no understanding?
