Romans 9:19
_ _ Thou shalt say then unto me, Why — “Why then” is the true reading.
_ _ doth he yet find fault? for who hath resisted — “Who resisteth”
_ _ his will? — that is, “This doctrine is incompatible with human responsibility”; If God chooses and rejects, pardons and punishes, whom He pleases, why are those blamed who, if rejected by Him, cannot help sinning and perishing? This objection shows quite as conclusively as the former the real nature of the doctrine objected to — that it is Election and Non-election to eternal salvation prior to any difference of personal character; this is the only doctrine that could suggest the objection here stated, and to this doctrine the objection is plausible. What now is the apostle’s answer? It is twofold. First: “It is irreverence and presumption in the creature to arraign the Creator.” |
Romans 9:19
Why doth he still find fault — The particle still is strongly expressive of the objector's sour, morose murmuring. For who hath resisted his will — The word his likewise expresses his surliness and aversion to God, whom he does not even deign to name. |
Romans 9:19
(16) Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
(16) Another objection, but only for the reprobate, rising upon the former answer. If God appoints to everlasting destruction, such as he wishes, and if that which he has decreed cannot be hindered nor withstood, how does he justly condemn those who perish by his will? |
