The Book of Romans, Part 84: The Second Objection to Election – Why Doth He Yet Find Fault? (Cont.) (Rom. 9:19-33)
Manage episode 517883037 series 2077500
by Elder Chris McCool, Pastor (preached on October 19, 2025)
In yesterday’s sermon, we began to examine the second objection to the doctrine of election set forth by Paul in Romans 9. This objection – which I call the “absoluter objection” – argues that, since “God made me this way” (i.e., God has basically predestinated everyone to be what they are and do what they are doing), He would not be just or right to find fault with us. Of course, this argument fails because, first, God is God and can do whatsoever He pleases. But second, the argument fails because we do NOT believe in the absolute predestination of all things! God is not the cause of sin or our sinning, and we are NOT puppets being manipulated into the wicked acts that we commit. Join us today as Paul continues shooting down this objection, and then goes on to describe some timely applications of the doctrine of individual and personal election in our daily lives.
