21 Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?

22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:

23 And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,

24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?




Timmy,
For the question as to how one can believe that GOD is JUST and RIGHTEOUS in ALL HE does, refer to verses 23 & 24 specifically, then read the rest of the chapter as St. Paul ties the Sovereignty of GOD into the SALVATION made available to the Gentiles, by faith!!

Cool, God believes and has went about giving eternal torment to those who never had a choice in anything!
