Likewise God must "endure" the vessels of wrath.

This is the truth that b57 refuses to believe. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/Banghead.gif" alt="" />

Our sovereign God is no more guilty of creating evil or sin than Jesus was at Calvary. This is even though Jesus could have freely avoided the evil and sin of His own murder by calling legions of angels to His rescue.

b57 insists on Scripture to "prove", so here is a verse directed at the evil being in heavenly places who started this inexplicable, inexcusable and unfathomable rebellion in the first place.
