Jesus at 2AM - A Humorous, Intelligent Look at the Bible, Church History & the Life of Faith
Religion & Spirituality:Spirituality
Paul now turns to the seeming contradiction between justice and election. If one is saved only by God's sovereign choice, where is the justice in divine condemnation? It is a debate as old as theology and pivotal in the development of Western Christianity.
While reminding humans of the need for humility before the divine will, Paul develops the analogy of a potter and his clay: Does clay have a claim to justice before a potter?
The short answer is no, but perhaps there is a story behind the story...
