Rom 9:19-23
19 You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?"
20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?"
21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use?
22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,
23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory-
God is Holy and just. He would be completely just if he sent all people to hell because all have sinned and are born in sin.
God is merciful so he chooses to save some instead of leaving all to hell.
Why does he leave a lot for hell? To display his justice and holiness. To make mercy more wonderful or the elect and display his glory
Am I reading this last bit correctly, are you proposing that god does the whole hell bit so that those whom he chooses to gift with his "justice" and "holiness" and "mercy" feel really good about it? Tell you what I'm going to do this Christmas. I'm going to buy my son a new bicycle. On christmas morning I'm going to wake him up, lead him into the living room, and show him his brand new Radio Flyer trike....and just to make this "more wonderful for him"...I'm going to mercilessly beat both of his sisters, hospitalize them, and permanently injure both of them. Imagine how much of my fatherly glory I'll be able to display in such a manner.
