God Justice Defended 9: 14 – 18
Examples from the O. T.
A.
Moses (Exd.
33:19) : does not depend on man but on God
B. Pharaoh (Exd.
9:16) : God has a will too.
He will have mercy on whom He wills and on whom He wills He hardens.
It is God who determines whether a man will be a Moses or a Pharaoh.
Neither Moses, nor Pharaoh, nor anyone else, could choose his parents, his genetic structure, or his time, and place of birth.
We have to believe that these matters are in the hands of God.
