Romans 9 Answers Why Evil Exists - Ep.171 - What About Evil?-God's Redemptive Glory In Scripture-Pt2
The promised chapter on how Romans 9 answers why evil exists is here! Continuing from our look at the Old Testament we look at Paul's answer to why there exists evil and how God uses it for His glory.
We are unable to divorce ourselves from the Old Testament and Paul engages with a question of what is God's purpose in choosing some and not others especially if some not chosen are not the "chosen people of God". We actually do see God's chosen people but they are made up of both Jew & Gentile. But is there something special about those God chosen for salvation and/or something badly special about those God doesn't choose. Romans 9 says that the exact answer of why evil exists. For God's redemptive glory as seen in Scripture.
