Religions Create Vessels Of Wrath

Romans 9:22 What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction

English “vessels” emboldened in Romans 9:22 and 23 were translated from Greek neuter noun 4632 skeuos which means vessel only in the sense of a receptacle as a container for one’s valuables. Greek neuter noun 4632 skeuos has also been translated into the ambiguous English words “goods” “stuff” and “sail” but God’s aforementioned definition is best reflected in Acts 9:15   2Corinthians 4:7  1Thessalonians 4:4   2Timothy 2:20-21 and Revelation 2:26-27 while Luke 14:26 provides context relative to God’s want of an empty vessel that God can fill with what God wants pursuant to God’s will. Acts 9:15 “But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel”  2Corinthians 4:7  “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” 1Thessalonians 4:4 “That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour” 2Timothy 2:20-21 “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour” “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” Luke 14:26 “If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple”. Please see Romans 9:21 post for God’s complete analysis.

English “wrath” emboldened in Romans 9:22 was translated from Greek feminine noun 3709 orge. English biblical wrath has been translated from both Greek masculine noun 2372 thumos and Greek feminine noun 3709 orge being the intrinsic emotion of flesh thoughts and feelings while Greek masculine noun 2372 thumos is either the literal or figurative immolation in hell of human beings who believe differently than one’s self. Greek feminine noun 3709 orge is the cause. Greek masculine noun 2372 thumos is the effect. The etymology of English logic is from Greek masculine noun 3056 logos which was translated into “Word” in John 1:1 and throughout the bible. Logic is defined as “rational thought rather than ideas influenced by emotion”.
