Why does God do what he does? Rom 9 tells us [Spirituality & Religion]

“[b]That he shall make known the riches of his Glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had beforehand prepared for Glory”[/b]

Dr John Piper took a year sabbatical to study Romans 9 and wrote a book on the justification of God! I haven’t read it but if you want to understand the justification of why God created evil this is Dr. Pipers expertise!

Without evil, how would we know good. Jesus is the balance. Evil caused a need for redemption, and we are redeemed by his blood.

@Carazaa I believe it says in Isaiah, [b][c=#BF0000]With His stripes, we are healed.[/c][/b]
As you know, Jesus paid the price of sin, so we don't have to. I'm so grateful for Him.

@Carazaa I'm not trying to be mean, but he's entitled to think as he wants, because we all have free will. It's a choice we all must make willingly. God will speak to us, (show us, in other words), in a way that we see, and that's if we all choose to.

He has admitted that the only reason for asking questions is to find fault! I have studied the Bible my entire life 50 years every day and he has no right to harass and abuse us and the Christians posts that are for the ones who really want to learn. I have blocked him 20 or more times when he starts Cursing God and people here who are here because we are told to witness! Many have been too kind to him answering his questions for hours! Then he attacks another person for hours! I account to God and anyone can have any opinion they want but harassment is not ok! Especially since so many have listened to him and cared about his life and then he is just mean back! This is my post and I will not have vulgarities, or abuse on my post! He needs to be kind and he needs to not harass us! I always give him another chance but I am not answering his questions for 4 hours again!

He said that if there is evil then God can’t exist! So he has a lot to learn!

You argue every day!
People know God and you argue with them! Not respectful!

@Emosaur So your rubber girlfriend isn't meeting your need to abuse people so you have to abuse people on SW? How sad is that.
