Did Paul just say that G-d is unfair and you can nothing about it? ~ Cross reference of Romans 9:21 to Isaiah 29:16, Isaiah 45:9, Hosea 2:25
See the nonsense you have to deal with when you build a theology on lies. Here Paul is addressing the issue that he created in the earlier passages by saying that Pharaoh was a puppet of G-d and Pharaoh had to be evil so that G-d could show his power. But since Paul asserted that not only Pharaoh was a puppet but that all of mankind is helpless and god blesses those he wishes to bless and those he does not will be lost and in rebellion and god will destroy them like he did to Pharaoh. In verse 19 he calls out the problem and swiftly misquotes Isaiah to say we are not to question gods decision of who he choses for destruction and who he choses for mercy. Then using Hosea out of context he says the gentiles are the ones that god decided to show mercy to [obviously through the blood of Jesus]. If you read the post I wrote on why G-d hardened Pharaoh's heart, you will see it was to redeem Israel and send a message to the whole word that Israel is his first born. Click here ...
