He never changes. No one can oppose him or stop him from doing what he wants to do.

If God decided to do nothing at all, no one could criticize him. If he hid his face, we would be helpless.

He looks on the people of the earth as nothing; angels in heaven and people on earth are under his control. No one can oppose his will or question what he does.

All things are done according to God's plan and decision; and God chose us to be his own people in union with Christ because of his own purpose, based on what he had decided from the very beginning.

If God arrests you and brings you to trial, who is there to stop him?

Why do you accuse God of never answering our complaints?

Does a clay pot dare argue with its maker, a pot that is like all the others? Does the clay ask the potter what he is doing? Does the pot complain that its maker has no skill?

"Don't I have the right to do with you people of Israel what the potter did with the clay? You are in my hands just like clay in the potter's hands.

Yes, Father, this was how you were pleased to have it happen.

Don't I have the right to do as I wish with my own money? Or are you jealous because I am generous?' "

So then, God has mercy on anyone he wishes, and he makes stubborn anyone he wishes.

But who are you, my friend, to talk back to God? A clay pot does not ask the man who made it, "Why did you make me like this?"

As the scripture says, "Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who is able to give him advice?
